Shot myself in the foot with this one

So, I started New Baby's stitchery the other day.  Because, you know, I want to PRETEND like I'm going to get it done anytime in the near future.  And I like the pattern, I really think it's cute.  Here's a picture of what it should look like when I'm finished:


I do have to say I really hope that they used the name Noah just as an example and that nobody actually bought a Noah's Ark themed stitchery for a child named Noah.  Anyway, cute yes?  But the pattern is SO much more complicated than the one I did for Will or the one I did for Kalena.  The picture doesn't make it look more complicated, but IT IS.  So now I'm kicking myself for not realizing how much more time this one would take (even though HOW COULD I KNOW?)  And yeah.  Maybe I'll get it done by the time he starts kindergarten?

It might be complicated, but it's beyond adorable. I'm sure that new baby will love it when you present it to him on his first day of school. ;)

For a second there I thought you were already done and screwed up the date...

I bet if you took a year off from your computer you could get it done :)

The problem is that it is impossible to finish it before the baby is born, and there is no time after the baby is born.

I saw the picture and thought you'd named your baby Noah. Glad I read on. :) I think you can do it. Hey, maybe it can be a graduation present. :) Kindergarten graduation, that is.

Seriously, I'm impressed! I'm crafty in the "glue & scissors" kind of way. This is true skill! Love it & Good Luck!!

Where do you get your adorable cross stitch patterns? I have looked and cannot find anything I like.

Julie, I found all the baby ones at craft stores. Michaels and Hobby Lobby. (Plus they're kits, so they come with fabric & thread.)

Since I am only crafty in a "look how much cheese I put on that potato" kind of way, I'm extra impressed.

The ocean looks treacherous (to cross-stitch). I don't envy you. and HAHAHA, Kari's totally right!
