Here is my latest project! A handmade, cotton canvas, growth chart! My mom gave us an adorable handmade growth chart from an online store after my daughter was born -- it has been the greatest gift! The gift that keeps on giving, if you will :) I decided that I could attempt to duplicate the chart my mom gave me, with a few style/design changes to make it uniquely 'The Spotted Lamb'....
Unlike a lot of retail growth charts, the chart I made is longer, (records up to 60 inches) more user friendly, (the cotton canvas easily records measurements/dates with a quilting/fabric pen) and perhaps most important for our constantly moving, military family, they roll-up in a snap and are easily transported from one place to the next!
This was my first attempt at making a growth chart...I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out! I recently gifted this one to my brother and sister-in-law, who are expecting their first child in a few short weeks!!!
I am now excited to make two more charts for my boys (eventually...) and am very glad to have another idea to add to my 'what to give for a baby shower gift?!' stash!

The good news is, that I have enough fabric from this project to make another! Visit the listing for this adorable handmade growth chart in my Etsy store if you are interested! Have a great weekend!!
