Yes, I am still here! I had some posts in progress a couple of weeks ago, only to reach my blogger storage limit for uploaded photos! I have had to look into alternatives for storing and uploading photos to my posts. I have a temporary solution for now, but it isn't the easiest process. I am very open to suggestions if you have found a good place to upload your photos that allows you to easily insert them into your blog posts. Please share!
A good friend of mine recently gave birth to her first child. She and her husband wanted the gender to be a surprise, so they didn't know until her arrival that they would parents to a beautiful daughter! My friend has always wanted a neutral nursery that could be passed down from child to child, so they decided to choose calm creams, tans & browns. She lived in Boston briefly and liked The Tortoise & The Hare sculptures in Copley Square, which inspired the new parents to incorporate a few details from The Tortoise & The Hare into their nursery.
As my gift for the baby and parents-to-be, I painted a canvas for the nursery. I chose to paint a silhouette of a rabbit filled with letters and numbers in their colors.
I traced the outline of the rabbit from an image I found online, re-sized it in photoshop with the help of my hubby, printed the image, and cut it out. I used a stencil to trace the letters and numbers, then filled them in by hand with a tiny paintbrush. I was really happy with how it turned out and hope the momma & daddy like it as much as I do. It has already been hung in its new home above their sweet little girl's crib.
Welcome to the world, Baby Meeks!
