Two Finishes

After stitching two of them for holiday gifts, I finally finished the "Friendship" pattern for myself. I made the letters on mine purple instead of blue and now I can't wait to get it framed and hang it in the hallway.

I also finished this birth announcement for my cousin, who is currently living in Germany - Samsarah's "Sweet, Sweet Babe." A couple of changes - I changed "babe" to "baby" and stitched the date in the European style, otherwise, stitched with the called for GAST and WDW flosses on 28 ct. fabric. I'm debating whether or not to buy the button pack that goes with the design - I have until June to decide, when my cousin and the new baby are coming to the US for a visit.
