A Little Easter Flower

I posted a while back that I was up to my elbows in ruffles.

Here's the finished project on my sweet little granddaughter. She'll be a beautiful little flower for Easter. I used the scraps to make a bow tie for her big brother.

A few weeks ago I wrote about my daughter asking me to make my granddaughter an Easter dress. Today (a snowday) I pulled out the pattern, fabric, pins and scissors and set to work. The pattern challenged me. I won't say how many times I had to unsew and resew some of the pieces in the bodice. But I loved stitching the pieces together, like a puzzle, and seeing how the fabrics complemented each other.

Gathering the ruffles took some patience. I've never seen so many ruffles on such a small dress. But they turned out beautiful. Now I just have buttons to sew on the back and bloomers to make.

I love being a grandma!

Just like all sisters, they are different in many ways. ... But... They are learning their differences are what make them special, and they are each growing up to be who they are meant to be. God values every person. He created each child with reverence and respect and fashioned them as a unique work of art. Help them embrace the gifts God endowed them with and encourage them to discover who God made them to become. Betsy and Bailey will help a child see that God created them to be themselves.
