In a chaotic kerfuffle at the park, the bonnet was misplaced. We returned to the park a couple hours later, scoured the area, even checked if it was not atop another cute child's head, but alas, we have declared it officially gone.
I don't know if I was more heartbroken or more relieved that I had made the bonnet. All that hard work, gone, but at least I can sew her another.
To mourn the loss of the truck-bonnet, I did a one-eighty and sewed her new bonnet out of the leftover elephant fabric from her houndstooth quilt. A pink bonnet with lace ties. Sorry Dustin, pretty much as girly as it gets.
Lily was nice enough to model the new bonnet on my birthday picnic!
< Standing ovation >

ReplyDeleteYour little Lily is precious and you are amazing for all the wonderful things you continue to do. Many moms would simply have gone out and bought a cheapo bonnet at Walmart :)
