Tiny Prints

One of the many reasons I love blogging is that it is my own very public, but very permanent journal.  A few weeks ago, I was looking back over some of my earliest posts and came across this one about the things I did/didn't do to document Colton's precious newborn days.  Luckily, I read it when I did because one of the things I regretted not capturing with Colton were his tiny hand and foot prints, and I was already in danger of repeating the same mistake with Levi.
But have no fear...immediately upon reading my own former post, I took to the Internet to come up with a fun way to document Levi's little prints for eternity.  I didn't really want to do a standard "print," but was instead drawn to the idea of framing a fabric version of the prints.  At first I figured I would just do it myself, but then I found Anna's Etsy shop (Something Sewn if you're interested) and knew she could do a much better job than I ever could...
So, I traced Levi's hand and foot, sent them to her, and a few weeks later she sent me this (well, minus the frame...I spray painted that myself):
How cute (and tiny!!!) is that?  Wanna see it in his room?
Anna was sooo nice to work with, so if you have any sewing needs, contact her!
