How can I part with it?

When I found out that good friends of ours was having a baby I was overjoyed for them. For many reasons. I wanted to do something nice for the new baby. This is the first baby in our group of friends and I wanted to do something special for the little one. So, I started a Winnie-the-Pooh cross stitch blanket. I never realized how much work it was actually going to be, or how detailed it was going to be. I started it in the summer of 2006, and I just finished it January 19th. I still have to do the final touches, such as finish up the butterflies around the corners, and once the baby is born I want to stitch his name on the blanket. My sister was a little worried that I wouldn't get it finished because I had put it down for a little bit. I knew my deadline, I had till February 16th. That is when our flight leaves for the coast so it had to be finished for that. Once I finished I was a little sad. I knew that I was going to have to give this thing that I have been working so hard on, and for so long that I questioned that i didn't want to give it away. Of course I will part with it and give it to the baby, I know that his parents will cherish it the way that it should be. I have many pictures of the progress along my journey of making it, but I will share the final picture of it being finished.

So that is it, whatcha think ;o) I will maybe post another picture of the butterflies that go on the corners of it when I am finished with that.

Till next time......
