The ol' homestead

Heirloom gingham embroidery class finished (aprons) and our formal tea party

Since it was our last day we planned a formal English tea. Oh how they have been looking forward to this! Our table was set with the finest china tea set and we served along with assorted tea's, tea sandwiches made of cucumber and watercress, I made some wonderful blueberry scones and Devonshire (clotted) cream and jam. Our last platter was chocolate covered strawberries. The girls learned proper tea etiquette and really enjoyed themselves.

I thought I would share some pictures of our special day.

These seven little angels were such a blessing to me!

This is my little gem...Little Miss..... (wink)

Well, we made it! The girls and I finished our 4 month class on gingham embroidery and their last project was to design and stitch the gingham aprons I made for them (sewing will be another class one day!) We have made bookmarks, sachets and aprons and each one of the girls have learned so much. They now can do any design with confidence and the wonderful work they have done amazes me. One little angel embroidered crosses on her pockets with "He has Risen" between them. Another made the darlingest teapots with lace below, and all of them are just beautuful. They will have such a treasure to hold onto through the years and one day their daughters will cherish it as well. What a wonderful gift!

Wonderful!!!!!!!

It makes me jealous to see these pictures, cause I wish I would have had someone in my life growing up to show me the things that these girls are learning. We are truley a Blessing in these girls lives and MINE. I love you, Anita
