Barbie Wedding Dress

 

Back when my mom was a little girl, her mom crocheted her this

beautiful Barbie wedding dress for Christmas one year.  I remember

her showing it to me when I was little, and letting me play with it

if I was really careful!  It has little pearl beads sewn

around the hem, neckline, and sleeves. 

 

This fall when we thought we were going to adopt Mimi,

one of the things we knew about her was that she liked

playing with Barbies.  So I decided to try and copy my

mom's dress and make one for her.  I finally finished it this week!

It turned out pretty well, although I couldn't find the little

pearl beads so I used smaller glass beads instead.

Although I won't be able to give it to Mimi,

hopefully someday I will be able to give it to

another special little girl.

 

Speaking of adoption, we are going to be considered as a family

for another little girl, (I'm just going to call her A for now on the blog)

in the next couple months.  They haven't set the date for the match

meeting yet.  They are considering 3 other families as well,

so we won't necessarily be chosen as her family.  She is under a

year old and really cute!  We are hopeful and trusting God

will send A to the family that is best for her.

 

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year's!
