So while we were offline for a few weeks - it did allow time for some creativity to happen because my mind goes at about 1,000 thoughts a minute, especially for Gracie's Gowns.
I was able to find and start using a dual-colored awareness ribbon!! This is fabulous, especially for all our families wanting Freckles, but I wasn't able to do a particular color, much less a dual-color ribbon. Now we can use all the colors in the coloring box of embroidery threads (no limits there) and do solid colors that I may not have fabric for, but also due ribbons for the conditions that have two colors. Here is what it looks like on Abby's Freckles using the red and blue for a C.H.D. Awareness Ribbon.

Also, my dad wanted to help support Gracie's Gowns, but didn't want to just be a pocket-book for us. He has been wanting to contribute for a while, and definitely helps any time he can and where he can...and finally had come up with something he needed my sewing skills for, but also would help Gracie's Gowns in advertising/marketing and he paid for it too...lol.
He wanted gowns for his C.P.R. baby manikins - so that his students could practice the steps of C.P.R. start to finish and also get a feel for really removing the clothing in the process. With a little adjusting - our newborn gowns fit perfect on his manikins and was the start of Gracie's Gowns and Healing Helpers also teaming up together (another blog for later - P.S. we love, love, love working with Healing Helpers!!).

Now he wants some for his adult manikins....that is going to take some work though - they don't have arms to hold anything on...lol. Anyway just wanted to share a little tidbit from things that were happening in our world here, that also involved Gracie's Gowns, just behind the scenes. Each of these gowns has a "Made by Gracie's Gowns" iron-on tag on them...I purchased those from Cherry Hill Designs (love them too!!).
Hope you're having a great weekend - it is raining and pouring here, which is making me super sleepy. Not to mention the busy week we've had. I have one more blog coming up today that will feature a great organization we've worked with personally and professionally. You won't want to miss it!
Much Love,
