As the Days Pass



I have been very busy with "people" clothes lately. But it seems that just when I finish, I have to deliver them. Lucy, my granddaughter received two skirts. I did post those because I had the time. But my Darling Niece's daughter had a Birthday Party. My grandchildren and I were supposed to go to Bakersfield to the In-Laws house were the party was going to occur. Since I would have to travel over the Angeles Mountains and snow was forecasted, the trip was cancel. I had to hurry to finish the pajamas and then mail them to Bakersfield. I did not have time to photograph. This photo was taken at the party. I heard how Annie immediately ran into her bedroom to change into the pajamas. I was so happy. It seems that I don't always understand what children Really want and when I hit it right, I am delighted.

Since I had made two skirts for Lucy, I did not want Hollis to feel unloved. I puzzled over this and Hollis is a child that has specific desires and to just make something, any old thing, would not do. Then a couple of nights later, last week, I knew exactly what I would make. I would make a robe and it would look just like a Jedi Knight Warrior robe. I made it out of brown fleece. I finished it 5 minutes before I had to leave for my breakfast at Hollis' house. He was really tickled. In fact, when he saw it, he laughed and laughed. Then I knew he liked it. I don't have a photo of Hollis and can't show how happy he was.

My son just sent me a photo of Hollis, yeah!!

It is always such a thrill to know that a gift to a young child is a hit. The pajamas are so pretty and you can see she loves them.

Oh, Pat, you can see the joy on their faces, thanks to your gifts. What a wonderful feeling it is to "get it right" and it's extra special when its handmade. Well done!
