Project 52-Week 2: Made with Love

Everything in this picture was Made with Love..........


About the doll bed.....When the Christmas season of 2005 rolled around, we were pretty broke.  My hubby was unemployed except for the small side jobs he could pick up and in January he was about to begin his last semester of Bible College. Our daughter was 2 and our son was 6 months old and if we wanted to give them any gifts for Christmas, we were going to have to be creative!  I remember my husband working late at night, outside under our carport, using scraps from his side jobs to make this adorable little bed for her special baby doll.  I used an extra pillow-sham and scrap fabric to make a tiny quilt and bedding.  Rough times but sweet, sweet memories. =)  


The dress she's wearing was actually my dress!  My mother made every stitch of this smocked dress by hand, even down to the button holes.  It is absolutely gorgeous and is something I treasure!  During my mom's pregnancy with me, she spent 52 days on bedrest in the hospital because of placenta previa.  To keep herself busy, she hand-sewed many, many beautiful things, one of which was this dress.  (She also made this quilt!)  What's even more amazing is that she was on medication that made her hands continuously shake!  Both of my daughters have worn it, and who knows, maybe one day I'll have granddaughters to wear it. {sniffle:sniffle}

And of course, our little Lucy....our sweet blessing made by a loving God.  Psalm 139:14 says, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."  We are loving every moment with this little cutie-pie!  =)

What comes to your mind when you think of the phrase, "Made with Love?"  What would you photograph?
