That's my name, don't wear it out

I'm not sure when it became almost a given that you had to put up your kid's name on the wall of the nursery. Or, when people started getting everything personalized/monogrammed. I don't remember this being the case at all when I was a kid. But anyway, here we are and I like the name on the wall trend. I like how I can be creative and do it differently for each of my kids. With Jane, I decided to do string art letters. I printed out the letters, cut them out, taped them to plaques that I had painted and painstakingly nailed in a bazillion nails around the edges. I then ripped the paper up (using tweezers) and went nuts with 4 different colors of pink embroidery floss. Here is what happened....


To give some scale, the plaques are each about 12 inches high.

I love them. They took forever....they were a pain in the butt....I'm glad Jane only has 4 letters in it.... but I love them.
