Now that Sunshine has arrived, and bears the name of Esther Mae after her great-grandmothers, I thought I would make a little something for the nursery as a nod to that special time.
I had so much fun making this. I used a bunch of scraps from my favourite fabrics and appliquéd them onto linen, then topstitched in black thread. Then I hand stamped the words using fabric paint.
Some sun, a cloud, a rainbow, and then I hand stitched some rain.
Stretched it all on a wooden hoop and added some pink ruffled ribbon for hanging. I forgot to photograph the back, but I used some Rainy Days and Mondays umbrella fabric (perfect!) and personalized it with Sunshine's name and mine.
Wishing you a life full of sunshine, Esther Mae!

THIS brings me joy. What a perfect hoop! My mom always sings this song to my son and nephews. I got her a framed print with the lyrics last year, but this is much sweeter.
