It was time consuming, but ohhhhhh soooooo worth it! Emma's Heirloom coat is finally finished! For a minute I thought that I would'nt get it done but I did! Emma's Christmas Recital is Saturday and she will get to show it off that night. It's a heavy coat I tell ya. When I went to an antique store and found a chenille blanket on sale for $18.00, i freaked and i "knew it was perfect"! Totally!!! The lining of the jacket is a blanket that Emma used often as a baby. I hope that one day it is passed down to her daughter. I love to make things for her, but this one pattern, there's something about it that has an extra piece of love attached to it. When I was making it thought of the future...ALOT! She along with my other children are growing way to fast for my britches. She is my last and she bores holes into my soul when she looks at me and calls me "Mama". I eat it up and cherish every sweet word she says to me. We have a connection, most mothers know what I am taking about. She is happy, therefore, I am happy. I hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.
Oh April this is truly incredible! What a fantastic talent you have. I am with you on eating up the sweet words from a child. It tears me up thinking about it. She will cherish this forever. What a gift of love.
