Birth sports theme

Post by Daesania »

Friend of mine is havin a baby boy, i wanted to send this to her now (the stars where i put the names is normally where you'd put the weight, time, etc), but knowing how busy mom life is after the baby, i knew she might not put it up if I gave it to her after birth..

but here goes :)

That's such a nice and unusual way of commemorating a birth! Like threadbear, I love the way you've done the shadows, and how you've incorporated the siblings' names (at least I suppose they're siblings? I did know one couple who actually put their cats' names on the birth announcement as you might normally the names of older brothers and sisters :-))

What a great gift! They are going to love it! Your stitching is very nice (I like the shadow effect also). It looks like it was fun to stitch.

No sorry, the names in the stars are the parents. My friend, Amy, wanted the picture done before the baby was born so she could make sure she could hang it up. I left the option up to her - have it with the baby's info, or i'd think of something else there. She left it up to me.. and voila! I decided on the names :)

I cant take credit for the shadowing however... this was a dimension projects kit :)
