The
sweet little girl in my care has just turned six months old and was christened this
past Sunday…
I
have grown so fond of baby Mia and the two of us have a special bond… I love the big smile she gives me in the
morning when I arrive, and how she laughs when we play peek-a-boo.
Or
how excited she is when I hold her wee hands and let her stand for a bit on her
wobbly legs.
Thus,
it was a true honour to be invited to attend her christening service.
I
had actually never been to a baby’s Christening before – as babies we were
dedicated, and as we grew older we made our own decision to be baptised.
After
talking with my mom, I realised it would be proper to take a gift. I knew I didn’t want to buy anything, but had
no idea what I could make that would be special enough…
Thankfully
my mom again came to the rescue and suggested I make Mia her own Miss Lettice Rabbit for the occasion.
I
set to work straight away…
It
was lovely making something with a specific person in mind, especially this
little girl whom I have become so attached to...
I embroidered Mia’s name on the rabbit’s ear…
I
am so pleased with how this Miss Lettice Rabbit turned out and loved being able
to give a handmade gift.
When
I first started looking after Mia as a three month old, I had no idea what a
blessing this au pair job would be...
True,
it has been extremely challenging and tiring at times, but it has also been a
great joy playing a role in Mia’s life, and I am making the most of the time I have left with her!

Happy first week of December, dear friends!
Summer has most certainly arrived in our corner of the world and we are enjoying the warmer days and the delights they bring!
I spent this weekend in my happy place preserving the lovely fresh blueberries and apricots that arrived!
What have you been up to lately, sweet readers?
Blessings,
Kelly-Anne
