Puffed Sleeves

I love Anne of Green Gables.  I'm not sure how many times I've seen it; it never gets old for me.  I laugh at the same things and cry at the same places each time I watch it.  I love the part where she gets her new dress from Matthew - with the puffed sleeves she longed for.  She loved those sleeves.

I just finished my third baby blessing dress.  I loved making each of them - except - for the teeny-tiny puffed sleeves that went into a very teeny tiny hole.   But I do it for the same reason that Matthew did it for Anne - love.  Pure and simple.  I love these little granddaughters who have come into our family.
