When a package arrives at our home with the Royal Mail stamp Miss L and I are beside ourselves with glee. We know it must be a beautifully handcrafted item from Mama N. Yesterday one such package arrived!
Even Mister T was anxiously waiting to see what was inside. Since receiving the twins' handknit cardigans he refers to Mama N as a "professional knitter." All three of us sat on the sofa giddy with anticipation.
I tried to help Miss L open the package but she quickly motioned me to stop and told me very firmly, "this is MY present" with a special emphasis on the "my". As she unwrapped the tissue paper her eyes got really big as she said, "oooh, HOW nice." A lovely handsewn floral dress!!
In all of three seconds Miss L had taken off her clothes, put the dress on and started twirling around the room with a huge smile on her face. And I had a huge smile on my face. I am so touched by Mama N's kindness.
Miss L's dress is the most beautiful little girl's dress I have ever seen. It captures the whimsical and carefree summer days of childhood.
I think I know what Miss L will be wearing again tomorrow!
Oh I'm so pleased you received it! Lily is just a beautiful little girl and it looks great on her. I made a size 3 so she should get a lot of wear out of it. I actually made three dresses at the same time. Will post them soon. We need more girls between us so I can sew some more. They are so sweet.
