Lottie Ruby

My niece had a baby. That makes me a great-aunt! It's often difficult to know exactly what to send as a gift from abroad, especially during a pandemic when the shops are closed! I decided that a piece of artwork for the new baby's nursery would be nice and unique too. I checked out what colour her room is - pinks and peaches - and my sister, the new granny, gave me all the date and weight details.
I set to work.
I created a piece which included the baby's name, Lottie Ruby. She has a Hebrew name as well, which I added below it. Jewish parents frequently give their child both a secular name for use in general society and a Hebrew name. The Hebrew name is the name the child will be called at their Bar or Bat Mitzvah and other formal religious occasions. Lottie's date and time of birth is at the top of the picture, whilst her birth weight is at the bottom. I added a cute little "girl" bear with a bow. One of my signature little birds is sitting on her paw. Some flowers finish off the piece.
My niece seemed delighted with the piece. "Thank you so so much for Lottie's beautiful artwork! It’s absolutely gorgeous!" she wrote to me. "It's being hung up this afternoon!"

Hello Lisa, your work is really beautiful, cute and elegant at the same time.
Thank you for your nice comment today. Indeed, blue and white are a smashing combination in a flag. :)
Stay safe and well!

The mom of the baby is right, it is beautiful Lisa! An interesting phase of life when your sister becomes a grandmother, and you are not one yourself yet:) Do you have to get used to it? Love you shared this family event with All Seasons! Have a lovely rest of the week, Jesh

I love the idea of this being a welcome to the world gift that she will keep forever. I like that you included the time. I always forget. The picture is beautiful and I'm not surprised they liked it. #mmbc

Lisa, your card is so intricate and beautiful. Little Lottie Ruby is such a cute baby. May the Almighty bless her with good health. She and countless little babies like her, are reminders of the blessings we should be grateful for in spite of our present circumstances with Covid.
Thank you very much for sharing at Meraki Link Party.
