I wanted to make something special for Maddie since the 4th child doesn't usually get a lot of new stuff so I asked my dad to make her a new cradle. 24 years ago he welded my sister Sandy a cradle that has been passed all around the family which worked out great but I wanted something new for my last little one. I had an idea of exactly what I wanted and he delivered all of my expectations. We spent 3 evening down at Uncle Randy's shop and this is what we came up with. After he was finished I brought the cradle home and made all of the bedding to go with it. I found the exact fabric I wanted but it wasn't available in white so my mom ordered it for me out of one of her fabric books. I am so excited with the outcome. Now all I need is a little princess to sleep in it! Thanks dad for all of your hard work, you are so amazing!

That is the most beautiful cradle i have ever seen!!! You are so talented!
It turned out great :)
I am going to have to have daddy make me one someday.
You did a great job Shelly. I'm very proud of you.
Amazing! What more can I say! It's beautiful!
This turned out so awesome. I still can't believe that you can sew like that (and that Dad can create something that beautiful out of metal). You are taking a gamble with the all white, but heopfully it is washable...it is definitely baeutiful. I can't wait for Maddie to come, I am so anxious to see her pretty little face. Looks like I need to have another little one so dad can make me one:)
