Hello Hive.
Cheers to good parenting today I am proud of these little ones. Children needs the best conditions and atmosphere to bring out the best performance in both their academics and life's pursuit. How often do we celebrate our children?
One thing I have often done for these one is to give them 🎁 gifts after every achiement, it's a good way to encourage them to do better next time. These three princess are one my sister Anas and two other niece.
I remember telling Anastasia once that if she takes the first position in her class i will gift her something special. She did put in her best and came second position instead. I totally understand that kids cannot be thesame intellectually and even if another kind has outperformed her to take the first position I still gave her the gifts encouraging her to keep it up. Now that Anas is in high school even her teachers are amazed at her performance in school. I feel proud and blessed to be her sister and small mummy 😃. No wonder it is very easy for me to celebrate these little ones on their birthdays and every other day, it is the joy of every parent and guardian to see their children/ward been of good behavior and performing well in their academics and careers.
The last Saturday was my niece birthday and even though I was not feeling well I had to get up and put in my best effort to make a little princess dress for her to snap some photographs in just to keep the memory of a 10th year. She actually came beside my bed rest to pray with me and plead to God on my behalf. Eventually she was able to take pictures with her siblings.
The other girls couldn't have their outfits done, you know how jealous children can be, these three are so into each other that what you do for one you must do for others.
I often have no choice but to make 3 dresses each and every time.
The birthday girl had a red dress but I wanted to play with colors this time around and went ahead to try blue for the other girls.
After church yesterday I made sure to complete the girls outfit so that they can have the balance of the photograph
This little baby wouldn't let me rest or barely finish her clothes before she started wearing them, having shed a little tear I had to allow her try it on before I continue work
Eventually the dress got badly stained and I was just lucky it didn't come out in the final pictures.
Some making process
After cutting the bodice of the outfits something I have done countless times.
I did a pleating round the dress for this design
Covered the stitches with another fabric, then joined the other parts and the gathers for the lower part of the dress.
I got different colors of trimmings to match their color of clothes sewed it to both decorate and cover seamlines
Than it was time for the final shots and you know just how this can be with children. My baby wouldn't stay still and she kept making us laugh with different funny postures
Be the best parent you can to your children today and you will be proud of what they become in the future.
Thank you for reading through the lines.
