Another gift complete!

I finished up this fun quilted growth chart for Reid for Christmas last week.
I've been trying to think of something to make Reid that Emily hasn't already seen or thought of.
When I came across this, I thought ah ha, I found just the thing.
No such luck though; about three days later, Emily showed me this growth chart that she saw online!


So, here's the completed project.
Please excuse the horrible back drop, as I couldn't find any place to hang it up without putting a nail hole in the wall!



As Reid grows, they just mark on the calendar with a fabric pen.
I must have high expectations for him to be a tall guy since I made it 80 inches long!


Here's a shot of the back.
The best part is that this easily rolls up to move/store whenever needed, yet still keeping a record of Reid's growth!

I love this! What a cute way to track his growth w/o making obnoxiously tacky marks all over the walls!!!

Yay! I love it so much. Don't worry, I won't tell Reid. And he's not highly addicted to like every craft blog on the 'net like his mother, so he won't manage to run across it during his daily internet scouring! :)
