Tada! Birth Announcement Cross Stitch

I finally had a chance to wrap up Henry's cross stitch. I had all but the personalization done before he was born. Strange enough, it took me 7 weeks to add his name, date, birth stats and get it framed. 

I had some trouble when it came to finding a frame. The finished size was 12x12. Unfortunately a 12x12 frame doesn't have a 12x12 opening. I ended up finding something that had a 13.5x13.5 opening and I hit Michaels when frames were 40% off and I had an additional 25%. Score one for Jen!

Few of my favorite parts. 

I love the raccoon. Too bad real ones aren't that cute. 

First piece I could sign like this. Usually I just use a JTE and last two digits of the date. Full year fit nicely here. 

Now that there's a newborn in the house, we'll see how many Tada posts in have now!
