My visit to Surrey last weekend,
was an occasion,
I had been looking forward too for awhile,
besides other familymembers.
My niece's baby is now just over a year old,
but last Sunday was her special Day,
with her Naming Ceremony!
An occasion that was attended by family & close friends.
Fortunately,
the weather was more than kind
with a very warm & sunny day.
The gazbeo was decorated in fabric bunting,
a lovey summer collection of flowers,
& to help mark the day,
the parents also included a Cross stitch cushion,
I had made with Eliana's name,
an appropriate sign for the day.
A registrar was also in attendence
to ensure the occasion was official.
A collection of readings & poems,
dedicated to Eliana & her up-bringing,
read by people that was the closest to her,
was a momentous part of the ceremony.
The occasion,
represented as
a wonderful garden party,
which had been hoped for!
The special little lady ,
was more than please to seek,
the delights of her toy box,
after the ceremony!
But,
Smudge,
the family dog,
was certainly eager,
at the start to sit & wait,
for the celebrations!!!

Overall,
I was most honoured to be involved with all preparations,
not only to make the bunting & cushion,
but also to be asked to be a Supportive Adult during Eliana's life!
