counted cross stitch embroidery

It has been called the slow happiness, and that is true. There is no point to rushing your embroidery, that will just make you misread your chart and then you'll have to undo a whole heap of work when you find it out =)

A baby gift made up all in whole stitches.

 All back stitches done, it makes a massive difference, don't you think?

And finally mounted and framed, with name and date of birth, and to fill out the empty space I added the zodiac sign.

If you're sewing for siblings, it's always nice to match the motives =)
