As you know, my mother LOVES to sew, and she is quite fabulous at it. AND she recently retired, which leaves her much free time to do what she enjoys the most. And I can say that we are ALL benefitting from this little arrangement! Mom started this new little project of making doll clothes for her grand-daughters. Tedious, time-consuming teeny tiny stitches.... My dad says she is going through her second childhood or something because she's always playing with dolls lately. :) This snazzy little number showed up in the mail for the birthday girl last week. Ni'ke's one and only Barbie went through quite a make-over recently, what with the dye job and pixie cut and all, but she does make a gorgeous bride. And amazingly enough, her custom-designed gown is made from the very same taffeta material and chantilly lace used to make MY dress nearly 12 years ago! Yes, I cried as soon as I saw it.... Leave it to my mom to make something so gorgeous and so thoughtful and so very meaningful.
