Here is a random cute picture of Anna. She really likes to sit on my lap lately. I often read her stories, but this picture is from when I was working on my Relief Society lesson.

Only 10 Months
I should be going to bed, but I can't resist the temptation to blog right now. You see, for the last 10 months I have been working on a cross stitch for Anna. Right after we found out we were expecting we went and picked out the pattern. I figured I would need all the time I could get to complete such a task. I have never done anything like this before. My mom made a little cross stitch for each of us and I wanted to do the same. Needless to say the pattern I picked out was not the easiest thing in the universe. But that doesn't matter because today I finished it!!!!!!! I told myself that I wanted to finish it before the year was over. So with 4 days to spare it is done. We even went and picked out a frame tonight because we were both so excited. For a first time attempt I feel pretty good about my ten months worth of work. I asked Devin what I should do with my extra time now that this project is complete. He told me I should learn PHP so I can help him with all of the web sites that he does for side work. I laughed and told him I don't think I'll have a hard time coming up with my own projects to keep me busy.

The cross stitch looks fantastic. The photo doesn't do it justice. I think you should start on the next one.
I am so impressed. What a great cross stitch.

Very cute cross stitch! wow- i could not imagine doing that. Way to go!
Well done, Julie! I have to warn you - I did one of those for Maddie and then as I was pregnant with each of my kids, I realized I had to do the same for each of them :)
It looks great!
Three cheers for you!It looks very familiar. I think one of my grandchildren has the same pattern hanging on their wall. Hip, hip, hurrah!
