Chance of pace...Angel Baby Gowns

Ever since we lost our precious granddaughter

 Eden Rain

back in May to stillbirth I have wanted to do something to help others that also walk this 
heartbreaking road. I knew nothing would happen unless I made a move, so after a couple months ,
 I reached out to the organization called

Sufficient Grace 

that helped our family when we needed it most. They have volunteer sewers that sew angel
baby gowns from donated wedding dresses for precious babies that don't make it into this world.

The bible says,

"ASK and you shall receive"...
and it worked! lol

 I received my first wedding dress in the mail a few weeks ago and I have been sewing ever since.

{sorry these aren't the greatest pictures, but they were taken in a room with bad lighting
and with my phone}

They sent a pattern that comes in three sizes and is open in the back with ribbon ties.

With every stitch I thought about our precious Eden and all the other babies that pass away 
and it was an honor to sew these gowns for their precious little bodies.

I was able to get 

TEN 

little dresses out of the wedding dress that was donated and I was 
thrilled!! 

 We love and miss our granddaughter so very much and I vow not to let her be forgotten.

My deepest prayer is that these dresses would never have to be used, but sadly...

 I know they will.

I pray it brings a bit of comfort to the families who receive these precious
gowns to put on their sweet babies. 

This dress on the left I made a boo boo on. The center front is to be laid on a fold and I wasn't paying
attention and cut it right down the middle! WHOOPS!  I did not want to waste this little dress so
I made a placket down the front joining the pieces together. Where there is a will there is a way!


Please stop a minute and pray for all families of babies lost...it is a horrible tragedy to any
family no matter the circumstances. It has really opened my eyes to how many babies are lost
each day, month, year and we have no clue WHY! There have been several losses in our  local area
recently and something needs to be done!

Blessings~

White Wednesday ~

White Phlox would have been just perfect for my wedding.

32 Years ago today...

We

Were Married~

Still loving the sleeves on my wedding dress,

...the ribbon sash,

...lacey bodice,

...ribbon tie in the back,

...the train,

...and my handmade veil~

Who would have thought

we would be at this time in our lives

so soon.

Seems like just yesterday.

The years have flown by so fast.

Although I must confess...

we

ELOPED.

Never got to wear my dress

so sad I know...

what WAS I thinking.

{who knows at the age of 18}

The pure white color has mellowed to

a soft cream,

and it hangs upstairs in my guest room

It is still beautiful to me today.

Please visit Faded Charm blog for more

beautiful White Wednesday posts.

Blessings~

Guest Room ~

I thought I would share a few pictures from the bedroom upstairs that we now use for our guest room. It is constantly a work in progress, but it is coming along. Hubby thinks we should move our room up there and have the guest room downstairs. Still trying to decide for sure if that is what I want to do. There are pros and cons to doing that. CONS: It is all geared to the size beds that are in there now (two twin beds) and the *BLUE* decor. That means I would have to redecorate *EVERYTHING*...so probably not anytime soon. I would also like to eventually get just one larger bed for that room. PROS: It is a huge room compared to our bedroom and I love the wood floor...maybe someday~ This is a favorite large old basket that I love ...chippy blue paint and all ~ Here is that chandlier again that has never gotten put up. I am thinking of putting it on Craigs list because I don't think it ever will get up and now I am not so sure I want it in that room ~

One of the twin beds with an antique chenille spread on it that I adore ~

Shelf of *PRETTIES* ~

I hope you have a wonderful day! Blessings ~
