What a blessing

Elaina was blessed by her wonderful daddy last Sunday. She wore the dress I made over 8 years ago with my mother in laws help. My how time flies. This first photo is the best one of the hand embroidery on the top of the dress. Ohhh so fancy I know- I don't know if I could do that again. Eve wore the dress when she was blessed and Sunday it was Lainy's turn. I embroidered Evelyn's name and date of her blessing on the slip and I'll do the same for Elaina.

Lance did a beautiful job. The kids were all very excited for Elaina's special day.

I love that you made the dress, it's beautiful. And embroidering their names and dates on the slip is such a terrific idea, I would never think of that. It will be such a special family heirloom one day.
