We are having another baby boy born into our family and that means another baby shower! For this shower gift, I have what I hope will turn out to be a great idea :) It involves this shadow box picture frame. This is an 8" x 8" frame:
I am going to take this baby blue checkered fabric:
Transfer this "Sweet dreams" motif onto the fabric:
and stitch it up using a variety of my newly learned stitches in some or all of these colors:
Then I will add the backing and put it inside the shadow box and add some trim - either inside the shadow box - sort of framing it, or maybe tied around the outside?
I will post some pictures of my progress and of course some pictures of the final result!
I have two pictures I took a few days ago in during our sunny weather. This is Berit:
and this is Rego. I used a tennis ball as a distraction in each of these pictures so they would sit still -they don't like to take time for pictures!

Cath - Thank you!I'll post a picture when I am done - I have already changed a few of the floss colors lol!
Ciao Emi Grazie! Non dovrebbe portarmi a lungo per terminare. Questi due cuccioli sono così dolci!
I bet your plans will come out really nice :) This is such a creative plan!
I have been doing a bit of embroidery (just beginning to learn)- I thought to myself- you should create some sort of sampler pattern for all the cool stitches you've done tutorials on! Unless you already have one?
I love to see the special stitches incorporated into your projects :)
I am sure this is something they will treasure - beautiful and special.
Sweet dog!!! My dog is Rambo ;-)
I awarded your blog ;-)
Can't wait to see the finished project! The pups are cute as always.
Cannot wait to see a finished project here -- you always have such pretty work!! :)
Johanna - Thank you - that is such a great idea, I would have a lot to work with...I am up to 66 of the 100 stitches! I'm so glad you are learning to embroider. It is so much fun.
EMcDowell - Thank you! I hope so.
Kasia - I bet Rambo is a sweetie. Thank you! and thank you for the blog award!!! :)
Hi Angela - Thank you! They can be hard to photograph - especially together in the same picture!
Thanks Denise! I should be finished soon!
HI Kim! I think it will be marvellous! I almost can't wait to see it! The pattern is so sweety! Congrats, my dear!
This looks like a terrific idea. I can't wait to see the finished product!
Thank you Simone!
Hi Pam :) Thank you - I will be posting the completed project this week!
I looking foward to see the final project! I really like your choice of fabric and design. Are you going to do appliqué too?
Thank you Papgena - I think applique would be beautiful! I have already finished this one, but I would love to to try it!
