Buttons for Baby A

Just completed another project for brand new baby Alayna.  It will be presented to the family this weekend! 

Name Blocks

I can't believe I haven't posted these masterpieces before now!  These are my name blocks.  Fully customized and personalized.  ;)  

The HOLLY blocks were meant to match the bedding in her room (you can see it in the photo).  Her blocks are painted & paper die-cuts and letters were modge podged.  

These blocks for CHRISTOPHER were meant to match his sports-themed bedding, as well.  His mother wanted them to be "as vintage as possible".   I painted them in solid colors and then hand-painted balls and stars with the bedding as a guide. 

 

For the vintage look I sanded the blocks and they remain unsealed.

  

These blocks went to my little second cousin, Anna.  Her nursery has white furniture with some bright accents.  Adorable owls adorn the sheets and her shelves.

  

You can order a set of your own blocks and have them say whatever you like: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, your child's name, your last name, Family, Love, Hope...

Ordering is simple on the website: www.sharwellstudio.com.  I look forward to making blocks for you!

Polar Bear

Ok!  Here is my first attempt at amigurumi (thank you, Marisa, for the term).  I purchased this pattern on Etsy (forevertandm).  The pics on the original look WAAAAY better than what I created. 

Two mistakes:
1) I used acrylic yarn and I think I should have used cotton
2) I should have used a larger hook

But it was pretty fun to try!  Maybe I'll make another someday.
