Works in Progress

I have two works in progress that I have been diligently plugging away at since January.

The first is truly my "keep from going crazy while sitting around a lot and hugely pregnant" project. I will finish it someday!!! It is a cross stitch version of a Beth Russell needlepoint project. It is a William Morris textile called "The Woodpecker". When it is done, it will be almost two feet tall!

The second is Grant's Christmas stocking. I refused to start it until after he was born, so I have a lot of work to do in the next several months! I think it will be so fun when I'm finished ...

Here is what it will look like someday:
