Re: [lace] a tiny lace dress...
What a sad but beautiful task to have undertaken and a beautiful way to lay this child to rest. Condolences to all the family who must feel devastated at the moment. When my father died in 2003 I made all the members of my family a small bobbin lace star and most still exist and are put up on the christmas tree each year, so they are part of the family Christmases which include remembering him especially at this time. maybe you can do something like that for you all, the butterfly sounds lovely and can help ease the sadness over time. Be gentle with yourself but something will spur you on into the next piece of lace. Sue T Dorset UK I have mainly lurked for a while, but do read each and every email. Just have not had heart to write much lately. But I did want to share what was recently made lace wise... I knit a baby christening dress in pink with white roses. It had a beautiful winding leaf pattern down the front with lace vines. Around the neck were small leaves that had some white roses on it. It was a sad labor of love, as my Granddaughter Rayne Ann was born Monday 7/28/14 and passed away 44 minutes later. Today we buried her in the dress. I had wanted to make her a white silk dress with some hand made lace, but just did not have the time to do that. Now she is wrapped in knit lace for eternity, something made with love. We had found out a little over a month ago she would not make it much past birth due to a defect in her heart, a hernia that allowed her stomach, liver, and intestines in chest. That in turn kept her lungs from developing as only one had room and that was not developed enough to sustain life. When my Son and Daughter in law chose to allow her to pass peacefully I knew that a dress would be made by me for her to wear. My son chose the yarn the day we got the bad news and I worked on it, only finishing the day before she was born. Tonight, I am hoping to work on some lace if the motivation ever comes back.

RE: [lace] a tiny lace dress...
Dear Shell, A wonderful show of love, and I am sure a great comfort to your son and daughter in law. Not to mention the example to others of respect for life. Rayne Ann is an angel, campaigning for a sibling to fill the void in her parents and grandparents lives I am sure. Start a new lace project, something with butterflies or similar.
