So Proud of Myself

I've always wanted to make a window pane painting. My mama's had a few of these in a storage building for years and I just decided one day with the help of my friend, Jodi, to do one of Greenlee's room (everything now days is all about Greenlee~ and that's OK). So I went and bought a bumble bee stencil, paint, and traced out how I wanted it to look. Then, we got a better idea... use fabric to back it and put her pictures in it as she grows~ kinda like a big picture frame...

Here is the old distressed window...

We were going to paint it, but once seeing it in Greenlee's room, we decided to leave it alone.

This is the fabric I chose... It has the colors of her nursery, but a different pattern...

I bought a vinyl monogram from a great store in Griffin, Serendipity... I have the Cricut that will do this, but I'm too chicken to try it right now...

And here is the finished product... Under her mongram will be all of her birth info (date, time, weight, length) and in each of the empty panes will be her newborn, 3 mo., 6 mo., 9 mo., and 12 mo. pictures.

It's going to be hung by picture hangers to make it steady, but it will really look like ribbon that I will attach is holding it up...

I must say that I am very proud of myself these days, getting to be so crafty and domestic... I've always had a crafty streak running through me, but it wasn't until I found out that I am going to be a Mama that I've really started to use it... Hopefully there will be more to come!
