I did make a christening dress for one of my grandchildren and have enjoyed embroidering her name plus two more who were also baptized in the same dress. I guess that's how heirlooms begin. Must admit, it gives me a good feeling. That said, however, I do think people sometimes expect more than we can (or want to) deliver. Just say no. Be sweet and be nice, but be definite. Don't invest time and tear your hair out to do something you really, really don't want to do.
