We welcomed a new addition our family on July 25. My nephew and his beautiful wife had a beautiful baby boy!
I was 14 years old when his father was born, and he looks SO much like his dad did that it tugs at my heartstrings!
I sent this canvas as a baby gift:
It’s my favorite reminder that babyhood—and childhood—should be enjoyed, because they are over too quickly.
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, we’ve learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs; dust, go to sleep,
I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep!
So hug those babies today…no matter how old they are!!

How precious!! Love that little saying, so true!
What a beautiful baby and a sweet gift!
I Love That saying.....What an adorable baby!
My grandma stitched this exact saying for my brother's nursery when he was a baby...he is now 38 years old. Love this....:)
That is adorable! (And your sign is really nice, too!:) Congratulations on the new addition. Congrats also for being featured on POP. You go girl!
Oh so true is this. Congratulations! Adorable... baby and canvas;-)

That is one handsome little man. Everyone must be so proud of him. I love the poem, it is so true!
What a beautiful verse, Korrie! I'm sure they just love it! Now that I'm a grandmother {for the first time}, I follow that advice to a "T". Everything else gets pushed away once the granddaughter is around!
I love that saying and it is SO true!!! Hugs today, vacuum tomorrow (or the next day, ha ha).
So, so true!! I know they're going to love this gift. He is totally adorable...such a precious gift.

A beautiful gift for a beautiful baby boy!! Congrats, Martina
Beautiful baby! I love the gift you made for him.
Love the clock table from a post ago?..looks great.
I think you can make anything beautiful! I love the saying and your work. Congratulations to all!
Isn't it the TRUTH Korrie!? Congrats to your family!
I love this! My mom had a hand stitched version of this saying that I remember fondly. When I had my own kids I wanted to hang it in my house but the 70s avocado green and orange didn't quite go! :)
This is one of my favorite poems!! It's so special and so true!

So stinkin cute - The baby and the sign! Babies are the BEST!
I love this too. I have been trying to figure out the placement to paint it on a rocking chair. My mom had this on my nursery wall growing up. :)
Congratulations. He is absolutely beautiful.
Just beautiful....the baby & the canvas!! My oldest just graduated high school, so I'm feeling a little emotional over the whole babies growing up thing.
what a sweetie! I'm sure the new parents love your special gift!
Wonderful event!
Congratulations. He is absolutely delicious!
Congratulations! What a sweet and beautiful painting (all too true).

Oh I love this! I was just over at my best friend's house visiting her brand new baby. I wanted to tell her to hold on to her tight and enjoy every bit. Because, before you know it she'll be 2,running around naked in the house and peeing on your just shampooed carpet :D I'm trying to enjoy these moments too... as difficult as they are ;)
Congratulations!
Adorable! I wish I could keep this philosophy in mind as I stay busy with house, kids, and keeping it all running smoothly. This is a good reminder sign that it's okay to just let go and enjoy the people in our lives.
Beautiful! I love that quote and what a great gift!
Sweet baby and sweet quote!

I cross-stitched that same saying when my now 30 and 33 year old children were babies. It's a great reminder to all new parents.
I LOVE this saying!!! I should make one for my mom for above her rocking chair. She loves rocking my babies (her grandbabies.)
Congrats on the new addition! I am falling in love with that saying...I've never heard of it before...thanks for sharing it!
I've heard this before and I love it,,, its so true. My "baby" is expecting a baby in about 5 weeks, they grow up in the blink of an eye thats for sure. Congrats to your nephew and your family. He is precious.
How precious! Great job on the canvas.
