Throwback Tuesday from Years Ago

I know it’s supposed to be Throwback Thursday but I’m changing it this week. Today will be Throwback Tuesday from years ago because it was when I tackled the master bedroom closet I found this Easter memory from 1969.

This sweet little cutie is our first born daughter, born on Christmas day 1968. This is a picture of Christine on her first Easter, April 6, 1969.

I made her Easter outfit, a white batiste dress and bonnet with delicate pale yellow lace trim hand stitched on the cuffs and bonnet.

I learned how to embroider from my mom when I was much younger and I embroidered the flowers along the bonnet and yolk of the dress.

I also found a lock of hair from Christine’s first hair cut on January 2, 1970. Her lock was wrapped in plastic and when I took it out of the box I immediately saw it was in the shape of a heart. I don’t remember what shape it was when I wrapped it in plastic from 1970 but the box hasn’t been opened since then so it most have been. Finding memories like this is like opening a time capsule from 55 years ago and I remember both of these special occasions so well.

I have so many memories of Chris growing up but the one thing I don’t remember is….where did the time go between 1968 and 2024? Just yesterday Chris was telling me she’s been get mail about “A Place for Mom” but doesn’t know why. Her husband asked, “Are you inquiring for your mom?” Chris replied and said no and then asked Bryon, “Are you inquiring for me?” Now you know where I get my sense of humor from! LOL
