Christening Gift




This is the christening present I made for our niece
who was christened last Saturday.


It's a personalised embroidery hoop picture
with baby shoes appliques inspired by a sweet little pair
that was my younger daughter's.


I embroidered her name and date of birth underneath
the appliques


and finished off the picture with pink gingham ribbons.


The christening was a happy affair with friends and family and
 it was lovely to have been a part of it especially as my husband was
one of the godparents. It's lovely too to make her this gift.
Eventhough my hand embroidery is not perfect I'm hoping she
won't mind it too much when she's older and this picture
will become a keepsake she'll like as well as treasure.




Thanks for reading!

Have a great week!
