Jackie is now into her third decade of maintaining her tradition of making fairy dresses for Flo, granddaughters and now a great granddaughter.
She began with Flo’s first in 1999.
Our granddaughter’s last was produced when she was about 10.
Here the creator displays her own mother’s petticoat material bulking
out the dress, and Flo’s last alongside Ellie’s first, including wings,
which she wore last year.
Because Flo refused to take off her dresses, even in bed, much repair was usually needed as can be seen when the images are enlarged.
Maybe ten years ago Mat and Becky gave us the fireplace fender for Christmas. After Jackie put up the decorations I just had to supply a good polish.
This afternoon I finished reading ‘Gentian Hill’, which I will feature within a few days.
This evening we dined on tasty baked gammon; cheese and mustard white sauce; firm carrots and cauliflower with its chopped leaves; and tender runner beans. I finished the Cabernet Sauvignon.
