Mickey!

I have a new niece. She's AWESOME. Since she came home from the hospital she's been doing extremely well, and I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER. Yay!

So I decided to make her a little something for her room, since she's my AWESOME, AWESOME niece and everything. I've done quite a lot of counted cross stitch in the past, and while I haven't done much of it in the last ten years or so (stupid bifocals), she's worth the eye strain. I decided on a Mickey Mouse pattern, since her parents enjoy that motif.


I think it turned out great, and it also matches her existing decor:


I'm a cool auntie!

  6. Anne C., I'm sorry, but I deleted your comment because I don't have permission to use my Awesome Niece's name on my public blog, and I want to be respectful of her parents' desire for privacy. Feel free to repost without her name...

  7. I dreamed about you yesterday and in it we were both knitting. True story. The freaky part is that I hadn't read this post yet. I have the weirdest dreams. Or ESP. Or something.
