Doll Cradles for Mia and Abby

[Mrs. Wallnut]

I really like that design. I wish our daughter was younger and I could make one for her. I like the end design also. I also like the writing on the end of that. How was that done???

Hey MW,

Thanks for the compliment.

The design is a variation on a Readers Digest design. Mostly, I simplified the curves to make them easier to sand.

I designed the writing design in Photoshop. And then I gave the image to our local rubber stamp company that has a laser wood engraver. They did a great job of engraving and it really personalizes it for them.

We drove to St Louis to visit Mia (14 mos) and she just kept saying "wow". Of course, that also had something to do with the bear and the cover/pillow set that Linda made for her. (And then she hopped in for a second...glad that I added the support bar underneath.)

And I am sure that you could find a young lady that would love to have a cradle like this.
