Hands to embroider! I made this to put on the door of the maternity room (don't know how it goes where you live, but here in Brazil it's usuall to hang something cute with the baby's name on the hospital room we are staying during/after the labor)
I drew some diferent birds and asked Rodrigo to choose one.

-------------------------
Than made a quick drawing of how should it look like and what basic colors it would have... a couple of days working on it, siting with my legs high on the sofa (is there any other way? My feet have swollen like crazy! Thank God there is a certain sweet husband to make me feel better with a night time massage...) and this was the final result:

Certo, um item a menos na lista das coisas-pra-terminar-antes-do-bebê-nascer.
Próximo item: bolsas de levar ao hospital.
Fiquei boba ao ver os preços cobrados nas lojas... Tudo tão caro!
Tudo bem, tudo bem... Mais uma tarefa gostosa envolvendo passarinho pra resolver! ^^
Peguei umas bolsas que tínhamos aqui e não usamos, dessas simples que se ganha de agência de viagem quando compramos um pacote, sabe? Tentei um projeto que tampasse o logo da empresa que deu as bolsas e pronto! 3 Bolsas novinhas, dá pra levar as coisas da mamãe, do papai e, claro, da Lilla!
----------------------
Yey! I was happy with it!
Ok, can cross it off my list of things-to-do-before-the-baby-is-born.
Next call: maternity bags.
Here in Brazil they sell bags that are specificlly made to beautifully take our stuff to the hospital when the labor comes. Can you imagine how much they cost?? I couldn't. Got scared.
So, what to do? I remembered we had some bags we did not use, simple ones, the kind we get as a gift when we purchase a vacation package... We had 3 we got when we went to NY.
So, I've puted together something that would cover up the company logo in them, and ended up with 3 birdie bags, enough to take to the hospital Lilla's, Rodrigo's and my stuff, along with the video and photo cameras!
---------------------
And, well, as we have personalized bags, why not personalized little bags to match?
(the hospital asks for the baby's clothes -6 outfits- to be taken in separate bags containing the full outfit, socks and all)
(será que eu ainda me livro desse 'quase'??)
---------------------------
And now, Lilla's room is (almost) ready!
(will I ever get rid of this 'almost'??)
Só não posso dizer o mesmo da minha lista de projetos... parece que a cada coisa que termino, aparecem mais duas pra começar a fazer!!
Não tá nem perto de 'quase' pronta....

Can't say the same about my to-do-list, though.
Seems like every project I complete, brings me 2 more to start!!
It's not even close to 'almost' complete....
