You will remember a while ago
I told you about the pattern one of
my embroidery friends gave me here
for Jessie's first slippers
which she will wear at her
christening in France
in June.
My friend Mary
who is in my embroidery group
has twin granddaughters
so she wanted to make the slippers too.

Three of us spent a day last week
embroidering and hand sewing
their sweet slippers.
Her little angels were christened today!embroidering and hand sewing
their sweet slippers.
Now I am working on my
little angel's slippers!
Mary surprised me with this beautiful
bouquet of flowers - to say thank you!

Such a lovely way to spend time with friends. Pretty handmade slippers. And gorgeous flowers. Happy day to you. Tammy
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your work in progress. A beautifully stitched J will be perfect on those little booties. Your friend spending the day with you stitching sounds so very nice. It is hard to find friends that enjoy doing something as simple as sitting and stitching. The ones that do enjoy such things are a treasure!

tiny perfect slippers for tiny perfect people! So sweet. Love the colour of those flowers.
ReplyDeleteDear Shane, it was wonderful to have you visit, and I so appreciate your lovely comments. I adore the tiny slippers and your embroidery work is what I love as well. Handwork is something I am hoping to do more of as I get older and can devote more time to such gentle arts. Lisianthus is also one of my most loved flowers and I try to incorporate them into our wedding arrangements when they are available. Looking forward to visiting often, N.xo
ReplyDeleteThey'll be treasured for sure.
