Morning
I've just discovered my friend's wife is having a baby - a boy, due in 8 weeks.
I want to make them a little piccie - does anyone have any ideas (or ;)s) I don't think they are into super cute, and I don't have much time

OHHHH I LOVEEEE ITTT!!!!!!!!!!!! depends how fast/ long you stitch. I'd not manage it in 8 weeks at my current stitch rate (around 5-10 hours a week) but if you are a lucky one who can do 15 hour stitchy days then it'd be no problem at all.
I've a few birth samplers if thats what you are after or I have some baby motifs if you are after that sort of thing.
Well my MAT leave starts here (ish) fed up of leaving work at 5 on a friday then having to go trek to pick DS up from childminders so have arranged to finish at 1 on a friday so i can go home.... 3 hours stitching me time in a quiet house... then go get the boy.loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:0 -
I started Too Pooped on Christmas Eve, and i've done all the stitching. Finished him last night except the back stitch, but only because I really enjoyed him... it's wouldn't matter too much if it took an extra month though would it - she'll be busy recovering from the c section (good girl)
You can have aif you PM your addy (as per usual

ohh you should have noooo problem getting that done then!!I'm hoping i can have another natural, can't bear the thought of a c-sect and being movement restricted for 6 weeks.... can't bear the thought of staying in hospital more then 12 hours either - I delivered and ran last time .. pretty much!!
I may just do that thank you.... not sure who to do it for yet...... hmmmmm maybe the boys will just have to have it as a pretty picture.loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:0 -

I've just found this freebie, don't know if it's your or the friends' taste but it's cute ! Might be too simple, on the other hand it should be stitchable in 8 weeks.
