I love your work, it is well done and very creative. The hand looks amazing, but I especially love the flowers.

I saw the Frank Lloyd Wright piece on Craftster and loved it. I love this piece just as much. Beautiful and thoughtful.

And congratulations on the baby! Well stitched!

Bethie, I gotcha. I sniff books too. ;) I agree that that sort of personal stuff is fine if that’s what you want to write about. I just decided to keep it crafty since I started this as a way to motivate myself to do more than just think about being creative.

It was lovely to have the baby at home. Drop me an e-mail (muddlepud[at]gmail[dot]com and I’d be happy to answer your questions. (I couldn’t find your e-mail address or I would’ve responded directly.)

MP, Oh I don’t share too much personal stuff like pictures of me or my last name or obvious things that would identify me. I’m a bit of a nut and just have some totally weird posts on my blog about sniffing books and a love note to my spatula and other crazy things “personal” like that! I totally understand the need for privacy!

Congrats on the boy! It must have been so nice to have the baby at home and be comfortable in your own surroundings. I don’t mean to be nosy, I’m just curious, but how long does the midwife stay with your after you deliver your baby? And did you see a gyno at all during your pregnancy or does the midwife do all those exams???

Wow! How amazing! (and the embroidery isn’t half bad either!! :D) Wishing you all the best – look after yourself x
P.S. I’m so delighted for you!

Thanks, all.

bookwormbethie, I've just had and seen some experiences that made me wary of sharing too much. Beside that, it's just not my focus here. I created this site to sort of keep me accountable to crafting.

The baby is a boy, and yes, we had him at home (on purpose). We rock it like the Amish. :)

This is a beautiful piece of work, and I love that you shared the back-story (or back stories!) behind it. You were smart to start with the satin stitching — I have an incomplete Christmas project I am delaying finishing because all I have left is satin stitching, and I get bored too quickly with that particular stitch.

Congrats on the arrival of Baby. I had a chuckle reading that you stitched until you were so dilated. Wish I’d been into embroidery back when my (now 10yo) baby decided to enter this world a few weeks earlier than estimated! Enjoy your time away from crafting, and steal all the head-smelling, baby neck-nuzzling you can =)
