Ooops! My son looked at my blog and saw a preview of future gifts coming his way! He sent me this email:
"You have some awesome WIPs that you are trying to keep secret!! I like the Milla one! very surprised. I will be happy when you finish some and I get to keep decorating."
He was referring to this picture of Milla Jovovich, the actress who played
Alice from Resident Evil.
I kept stitching and stitching until I finally saw her looking back at me. It's weird that she has gray in her face but I suppose it will look good from a distance!

I'm also making
The IT Crowd for him to put in his office cubicle at work. I finished stitching the words. There will be a guy standing on each side and a border all around.

He bought me a souvenir cross stitch kit last year from San Antonio, Texas, and wrote:
"100 WIPs and no Remember the Alamo??? come on now. add it as a bonus for January 32nd"
So of course, how could I resist? I started this new one, Remember the Alamo. It is on 18 ct tan Aida and will be 8" x 2".

He's a new Texas resident and I visited him last year and saw the Alamo!
It's so nice that he appreciates my cross stitch gifts! This is the first one I made for him when he was a teenager and he still has it up in his bedroom:

| Test Prayer |
I also made him
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and
Perpetual Mario and Luigi playing Nintendo!

Oh how nice! I just realized that I stitched him something every year in 2011, 2012, and 2013. So now I'll get back to stitching his present for 2014. His 30th birthday is coming up!
