I think her great aunt will be making her some jewelry from the beads we had to take off from the wedding gown so I could cut and sew the little dress.
    Wow, so adorable. You are all quite talented. Be sure to post pic of her wearing this.

    What a wonderful thing for the baby and the whole family. The gown is gorgeous, and the baby is -- as all good grandmas say -- the prettiest baby ever born.

    What an heirloom to pass down! The work you did on the jacket and dress is fantastic and such a great idea.
