Polka Dot Dress Necklace






I've been so preoccupied that I didn't realize that my Daughter has put out a new creation.  Several weeks back she had asked if I could send her some of her childhood dresses.  Three to be exact.  Above is her in one of the dresses.

I struggled with it for several weeks until I finally put them in a box and mailed them.  I had such a hard time letting them go.  Sad part is, they were in a closet and were only looked at every couple of years, if that.

I came in and posted the No Bake Oatmeal Cookies and I noticed she had an update.  When I opened her blog to see what she was up to, it literally took my breath away.  

I am no longer sad that I let the dresses go.  I am also very happy that she is incorporating some fibre with her metal arts. 

I immediately had to text and ask if she had any of the material left to make me a brooch.

I am very excited that she said yes.  Now I get to have a part of her past and a part of her future that I can wear, or maybe use as an ornament on the tree.  

Hopefully, one day, she may even want to learn how to crochet.  I do feel that need to hand it down.  

Isn't it stunning.  I just love it.




What a great way to preserve your past and have a beautiful piece of art.

With Grace,

Debra
