Warning...Sweetness Overload

I've wanted to use this cradle for a baby girl for awhile...I imagined a sweet newborn in a little dress and the sign jauntily hanging from the front. And I FINALLY got a client with a baby girl...and then when we went out and saw all the yellow blossoms...I knew it was meant to be. Just like in my dreams.


Again, thanks go to my dear, talented Mother who made the cradle and also the Baby Sleeping sign many years ago when Tole Painting was all the rage.


I would have shouted and done a crazy dance when I saw this beautiful piece of art because I was so excited with what I could do with it...but I did NOT want to wake this sweet, sleeping baby...and look how my silent cheer paid off....

A huge thanks to the baby's mother for making this stellar applique extravaganza so I could use it to create such a wonderful photo!

Again, another silent squeal of excitement....you know why...



I LOVE how this one turned out...my friend gave me the idea and I found this frame I made of vintage molding from my old school they tore down..and it worked SO perfect!



She looks like she's sleeping in a big bowl of cotton balls, eh?



And of course, her multi-talented mother made her a fabulous quilt...here's a little taste...



And then those beautiful little peepers...looking at her Mama.
