Thank you Sista Felicia!

Posted on by Bridgette Mathews

I do my best to put a little “Bridgette” spin on things that I do just because I enjoy it, but sometimes I overwhelm myself.   I know, I know…this kind of mayhem is self-inflicted, but it’s a kind of crazy illness that I learn to live with.   So last week when I was going nuts in preparation for my daughter Lindsey’s Bridal shower and there was one project that I had in my head but was putting off because I just didn’t know how to pull it off  (I may be many things but a seamstress is not one of them!) Felicia jumped aboard the crazy train and just took this bag full of crap I’ve been collecting and made it into more than I could ever have imagined myself!   I am so grateful to her for not only creating this amazingly gorgeous ring bearer pillow made from my wedding gown, my mom’s wedding gown and a special pillowcase of my mother-in-laws, but then going beyond and creating a breathtaking keepsake bridal handkerchief for my daughter on her wedding day in a couple months.    Lindsey was so touched and we were all brought to tears the moment she opened it.   Thank you for your friendship and just for “getting me” without my even having to say anything! ❤ ❤ ❤IMG_4526IMG_4527

  2. Cumnare, Yes we share the same kind of crazy especially when it involves something for our children! I was truly touched and honored you reached out to me for my help. You know I love a good project! Making Bridal heirloom treasures for my friends and family gives me so much joy. Your always so incredibly thoughtful, I loved your idea of including pieces of your wedding dress, your mother’s wedding dress and your mother in laws beautiful pillow case for the Ringbearer pillow. I had no doubt when you handed me the bag of “stuff” that something beautiful could be created! As I cut the laces from each dress, and began laying out a design using the bag I knew I had to use some of it to create a bridal handkerchief
    to match the pillow for her wedding day! Thank you for allowing me
    to get creative and break out the pearls and crystals and sew up a bridal handkerchief for her. Lindsey’s reaction was priceless, as she opened the box and began reading your beautiful letter to her. Wishing her and John all the best as they began a new chapter of their lives together as husband and wife!
    XO😘
