A Sentimental Gift

June 13, 2012 by Bethany Sy

I have a new favorite thing. My cousin Alyssa cross-stitched this:

P6124751

Incredible, no? I had a short stint with cross-stitching back in the day, so I have an intense appreciation for the countless hours and explicit detail that went into this. Yowsers.

Thank you Alyssa! I can’t wait to get this up in the nursery!

    Beth – So glad you like this 🙂 Not sure about doing a second one, but it’s a nice thought. Hope things are going well, CAN’T BELIEVE the girls are almost a year old, and looking forward to seeing you in August!

    So precious! Wish I had one for my girls! I love the whole “two peas in a pod” thing. I found a sterling silver necklace online that is two peas in a pod on a coin-shaped thing with the babies’ names ingraved. MUST.HAVE.IT. Maybe for my birthday…
