WALL HANGING I MADE FOR MY GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER "MIA"

MY SON - GRANDPA LARRY BROWN
MIA'S PARENTS
MY LABEL ON BACK
MIA MARIE BROWN WAS BORN APRIL 27,  2 YEARS AGO IN 2009. 4 YEARS AGO I MADE A WALL HANGING SIMILAR FOR HER OLDER SISTER, ADDISON. I WAS EXCITED RIGHT AWAY TO MAKE ONE FOR MIA, ONLY OF COURSE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. BOTH OF THEM HAVE MANY PICTURES OF THEM AND THE RELATIVES PRINTED OFF IN SILK AND EMBELLISHED AROUND ON THE WALL HANGINGS. ADDISON'S WAS MADE AS A SURPRISE, SO I CHOSE PICTURES FROM ONES ON MY COMPUTER THAT THE PARENTS SENT TO US. FOR THIS ONE, FOR MIA, I ASKED THEM TO CHOOSE THE PICTURES THEY WANTED ON IT AND SEND THEM TO ME. I THINK THEY CHOSE VERY WELL.

I WAS DELAYED FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE OF MY SHOULDER INJURY AND SURGERY. FINALLY TODAY, THE FINISHED WALL HANGING IS ON IT'S WAY TO THEM IN SPRING, TX. VIA MY OWN SON, (MIA'S GRANDPA) WHO IS GOING FOR A VISIT. WE ARE ALL EXCITED TO KNOW THEY HAVE IT. HERE ARE A LOT OF PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN OF IT. IT WAS MADE IN NINE BLOCKS, EACH 18". I EMBELLISHED ALL THE SEAMS BEFORE I SET THE BLOCKS TOGETHER. THEN I APPLIED THE PICTURES, AS I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO COVER SOME OF THE SEAMS WITH THEM TOO. I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY SEEING THIS. I HAVE ENJOYED THIS 2 YEARS OF WORK ON IT.
