FO: Pear Vest

A good couple of weeks ago now I had the foolish idea to indulge in a quick little project to get the creative buzz that I have been struggling to find time for of late. I decided that a small cross stitch motif placed on a plain white baby vest was the perfect little undertaking for an afternoon or two; a quick and easy little thing of joy.
Every time I have the idea to cross stitch (about once every 12-18 months) I fall into this same false sense of security, for whilst cross stitch is easy enough, I never, ever find it ‘quick’. Somehow I allow enough time to pass between little projects for this truth to escape me each time. A week after I started, I finally finished this tiny pear motif.

I also managed to buy vests sized for a 2 year old, which I am blaming on tiredness. Baby Awesome actually turns 9 months old today, and is ‘helping’ me type by standing next to the sofa and bashing at the laptop whilst I repeatedly deleted the random characters he is placing in the middle of sentences. As he is so desperate to share a few words, I’m going to pass control to him for a few seconds. Hold on…

He’ll make a fantastic blogger one day.
This little project didn’t quite go to plan in either it’s intention or execution (I am pretty certain that the pear is slightly wonky, but then I guess they never sit perfectly straight… ahem…) but it did serve to break my creative dry spell, and I have a new project well underway and gathering speed, promising to deliver far more than a wonky pear.

We will take the wonky pear and adorable Darwin. Cute babies make up for just about anything.
Baby Awesome’s hair looks identical to your illustration of Mr. Awesome in your banner!
Hehe, you are right! I must update that banner soon… Baby Awesome is not such a small bundle any more!
What an adorable baby and I love your pear!
He is just too cute! I’m exactly the same way with cross stitch, I suddenly get an urge and then can’t work out why it’s taking so long!
