Emily and Grace

I don't know these babies yet, but they are very special to Amanda. I have made these little hats for them, which I will give to Amanda this weekend to pass on to them.

Cross Stitch for Amanda

Amanda has always had a passion for Elephants, since she was a tiny girl. Her life and her home have been very influenced by them. When I saw the mother and baby elephant kit at the Stitches and Craft Show in March 2011 I bought it. When Amanda announced her pregnancy in April, well what can I say. I took this kit overseas with me recently and worked on it mainly on the plane. I will post progress pictures as I go. Baby is due on 6th December.

The tusks are showing and the ear is beginning to form.

About This Blog

I have just returned from a four week holiday where I created my first "real" blog. It was an interesting experience, I learnt heaps and have now got the bug. With two new grandchildren arriving in early December (yes my first ones) I will be creating lots of goodies for them. So what better way to record this progress.

It will also be interspersed with other things.
