A Beautiful, Perfect Day

A perfect day for a sweet baby's baptism ....... she was truly beautiful.

Her dress was made 18 years ago when her first cousin was born and baptised. I made the dress from several patterns, did the smocking with beading, ordered the laces. ribbons and fabric from Texas. And made the hat from scratch and did the cross-stitch too.

It's not everyday that your paternal grandfather, an Ordained Catholic Deacon, performs your baptism.
