Dgs name now added,all washed, pressed and off to framer. It doesn't really matter that I'm a little late with his birth sampler and he's now 2, does it? There just doesn't seem to have been a lot of spare time.
Spot the missing word in that last post! 
Katek - I have come to this thread rather, but having seen the post where you mention that you enjoy crochet, I thought i would post a link to a free pattern for an aran-style baby/toddler cardigan on Ravelry. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/aran-stitch-cardigan--hat-cardigan
It is worked in DK, but with the Aran style, looks quite chunky, making it great for little boys. I have just crocheted it myself and enjoyed it so much that I will definitely do another in the future if I get an excuse.
I started birth sampler for GD and she is now 2 and a half. Not used to cross stitch so confess that I have not touched it for months 
It is gorgeous. I am sue it will hang with pide in his room for a long long time
What a lovely keep sake something to pass down to the next generation
It is delightful. Well done! 
I also cross-stitch, but design my own samplers for new babies, which are usually appreciated. I put the name of the child and the date then add "Tuesday's child is full of grace" or whatever is appropriate. Consequently, the sampler is always appropriate at whatever age. So often the DPs forget the day of the week by the time the child is old...
That Is beautiful Katek, I am so envious of artistic people, I don't have an arty bone in my body.
I finished a matinee jacket for my daughter when she was 18, its the thought that counts! !
