Embroidered Birth Announcement Hoop!

I fell in love with embroidery while I was pregnant. It gave me a way to calm my nerves and relax me after work, it helped my mind wind down better than TV or reading and it made me feel as if I was actually accomplishing something too. As any crafter knows, your list of "To Do" is usually a lot longer than your list of "Done". I know mine is, and my list of ideas, especially during the holidays just keeps growing... and growing...and growing!
