It’s been forever and lots of stuff has happened and changed, but I’ve started a new blog about sewing and knitting. If you’re interested you can find it here: By continuing to use this website, you agree to their use. To find out more, including how to control cookies, see here: Cookie Policy
Angel Gowns are bereavement gowns made by volunteer seamstresses out of donated wedding gowns. We have 4 sizes of gowns for different size babies and some seamstresses make wraps for really tiny pre-term babies. My second dress was only a partial dress as the front portion of the skirt had been removed(the donors are allowed to remove as much of the dress as they want before donating). If you look closely at the girl gown on the right, you’ll see that I hand beaded angel wings on it using the beads I removed from the tiny dress’s bodice.
Being creative people, when hubby and I decided to create a nursery for Ella, we knew we wanted something unique and not “cookie-cutter from a ready made kit We found a mobile at a thrift store and I made the the floral pieces and the handle cover out of the same minky as the changing pad cover. Hubby decided he wanted to make her a bookshelf out of wood scraps and trim pieces leftover from other projects around the house(she has way more books now than she had in this picture). The cool thing is, we’ve had several people who are NOT familiar with LOTR come in her room and they just think it’s a elvish/fairy princess room
Since we were both due in the beginning of October I didn’t think that would be possible but Ella had other plans and decided to come the day before her Gram-Gram’s birthday! I don’t want to disappoint you all too much, but hubby and I made the decision before her birth to keep pictures of her off the internet, so I won’t be sharing any pictures with you, but rest assured she is a doll. I no longer have the desire nor the time, nor the space to take daily outfit pictures, but I don’t want to give up blogging completely. One other thing I hadn’t yet written about, though I started it before Ella was born, is my position as a volunteer seamstress for NICU Helping Hands.
