For the Record

I had a few comments complimenting me on Annika's blessing dress and thought I'd better shed light on how on earth I made it. My mother. Okay, I did do a good portion of the sewing but please know that this was an enrichment project (when it was called homemaking--for church) back when I went to Snow College. So almost a decade ago. I had most of it done before I was even married and all of it was done at home with my mother. When I found out I was having a girl, my mom and I dug it out of the depths of storage and finished it on the trips I had at home where either Caleb was sleeping or someone else was entertaining him. My mom did the hard parts like the sleeves because I didn't even want to attempt placing them in the holes, and my Grammy did the button holes on the back. So before you get too impressed remember my mom has a degree in clothing and textiles and is an extremely talented seamstress. I can do basic sewing and thus did all the straight lines.
