Lola's Blessing


While Joel's family was in town last weekend, we had Lola's baby blessing. She wore the ruffle fabric peasant dress that I made. It was the first time I've really dressed her up for anything, which was fun! I wanted to add a little ribbon bow to the top of the dress, like many of you suggested, but I didn't have any white ribbon on hand when I was planning to add the bow at the last minute.

I did manage to make a little headband that morning to go with her dress. I then managed to forget it as we were leaving for church. No big surprise there :).

It was a very special day for our family, and we feel so lucky to have Lola. She's been a really good baby - so patient and calm.


On another note, I am sewing something for myself this weekend! It's been way too long, and I'm super excited - hopefully I'll have something to share soon :).

So precious. What a handsome family!
Let us know how the sewing for yourself thing goes. I haven't done that except for a handbag once. ;)

Speaking of forgetting, we left the bowling alley today with bowling shoes on. Emmett reminded us just as we were getting to the truck. Beautiful pictures. Baby Loel is so blessed!
