THE DRESS IS FINISHED!

I finished the all the smocking Friday night and put the dress together yesterday (all but sewing the buttons on the back). I did that this afternoon. I can just see my little Emma in this dress for Valentine's. Both of the older granddaughters want to wear dresses all the time....even for play. I have a feeling Emma is going to follow in her big sisters' footsteps! Now, I'm off to cut out the next one and get it pleated and smocked....which color will it be????

I think most of you already are praying for Harper but in case you haven't heard, please go to her mom's blog and read about her. I have followed Kelly throughout her pregnancy and watched anxiously for the news of Harper's arrival. She was born with pneumonia and other complications and is in very critical condition. I believe in the power of prayer and know from Kelly's blog just how many are praying for her right now. I know this family needs us to lift them up.

Sue, what a lovely dress. I know she will be a knock-out in that. I will visit Harper's moms blog and keep him in my prayers. I have twin grandbabies born prematurely on Nov 20. I would appreciate your prayers for them as well. You can see pictures and read the events on my blog. Thanks in advance for your prayers.

The dress is adorable! I know it will be perfect for her!

Sending prayers for Harper. What a scary time for them. But God is in control and He is good. I am lifting their family up in prayer.

Have a great week!

Smocked dresses are the most adorable things and you did such a great job!!! How lucky are your grandaughters? :) It is just beautiful!

Robin Beck said...

The dress is adorable Sue.

I prayed for Harper and her family just this morning. I think it's great that all of us bloggers can come together and pray for others. The Lord is so good-I am so thankful for all the prayers that were said for my grand daughter Noelle, she is doing amazing!
So I stand with you and all the others in praying for complete healing for Harper in Jesus name. Amen.
Robin~♥

The dress is so cute! You are very talented. Smocking is something I wish I knew how to do because I love smocked dresses but they are so expensive to buy or have made. I can't wait to see the other one!

I will stop by and visit with Kelly right now and will pray for Harper.
