Wordless Wednesday: Watermelon

My aunt was looking for someone to make a watermelon carriage for my cousin's baby shower.

Because I had never seen such a thing, or had any idea how to make one, I thought I would be the best candidate to take on such an important task for such a special day.

So obviously I volunteered myself.

Who wouldn't?

Oh, everyone else because who would do that and want that pressure?

Although I had never made {or seen} one before, I thought it sounded like fun.

Assuming I had the most time on my hands, I figured I could give it a try.

I found some tips online.

I proceded in confidence

And gave it a whirl.

And it was success on my first try.

I loved making this little masterpiece and was really pleased with how it came out.

Baby Emma's room is butterfly themed so I added a few to tie it all in.

Is that cute, or what??
