Dear Friends,
Just when we thought all the freezing weather might be behind us, it seems
it's coming again! However, I do remember getting 12 in. of snow once in March,
and I'm sure some of you do too!
But one cannot help but think of spring around the corner, and with that
seems to be softer colors and fabrics. I know at Lace Cottage the fabrics are
lending themselves to that. It does inspire me to want to make the spring like
garments, even the sweet baby things!
Most of you know that I have a daughter getting married this year, and I
don't expect the bride and groom to wait too long to start a family. This time
I won't be short of time!!! I want to start putting the sweet little baby gowns
away now. Is there anything sweeter than a blanket with hand embroidery on it?
These are all garments that CAN be generic as we put them together all the time
at Lace Cottage when some stubborn mother won't find out what she's having!!!
Imagine!
I'm sure it's the promise of warmer weather that inspires us to work on
something sweet and maybe lacy. Even something little to put away for another
time.
For those of you Moms and Grands that have Easter to work on, Good Luck! It
comes early this year (-:
Can't wait to see everyone on the 10th and Hey! Bring a friend!
