For expectant parents, one of the most exciting (and scary and stressful) moments of the whole pregnancy is having a prenatal ultrasound. That’s usually when you get to hear your little one’s heartbeat for the first time and in later ultrasounds, you may even get a glimpse of their face or their tiny hands and feet.
Whether they just look like blobs or truly cute babies already, these ultrasound images get printed out, shown to family and friends and then tucked away in a manila envelope somewhere, never to be looked at again. For others, a digital copy sits on a thumb drive or disc that eventually gets lost or damaged once the clearest image is shared on social media.
If only there was a way to display your ultrasound that still goes well with your home’s decor (because hanging up the flimsy printout from the hospital doesn’t exactly say cozy chic?no matter how cute of a frame you put it in). Luckily, embroidery artist Veselka Bulkan has a stylish solution. Bulkan, who’s based in Munich, makes adorable embroidered ultrasounds that are so beautifully crafted, you’d be more than happy to hang it in your home. (Although let’s be honest, your cozy chic decor will be overrun with dirty laundry and annoying plastic toys once the baby arrives?but oh well.)
