Since even before we had James, I had designing for babies on the brain. Maybe I already had baby fever and this was my way of coping with my lack of a baby - ha! But either way, to design things for babies and children is so much FUN! It is colorful, silly, playful - and it just can't help but put me in a good mood. I started my baby designs with an alphabet for my nephew. Since then I have designed a number of other pieces as wall decor for a nursery, and I love them all.
Most recently, I was donating some items to an auction here in town. Last year, I donated a framed nursery piece and 2 sets of stationery. I decided to do the same thing this year but with a new design. I don't know where the inspiration came from but nursery rhymes came into my head and I wanted to go with that. Nursery rhymes are timeless, and appeal to all children, boys and girls. I love animals for baby's rooms, so I thought of "Hey, Diddle Diddle," because it has a variety of animals in it. My favorite is the cow. And thus, this design was created:
The top left is the flat note, front and back, and the top right is the folded note. I am working on matching pieces using the other animals in the nursery rhyme - the cat and the fiddle, the little dog laughing, and the dish running away with the spoon! I think they are so fun!
