Went to see about getting Freya's gravestone designed

Oh dear! I really meant arms! This keyboard is awful for skipping keys :-0 sorry xxxxxxx

It's okay. I noticed it and smiled. It was a fairly unfortunate typo but fortunately I am in a good mood today ;)

Vickieh1981 - I am so sorry for your loss. What beautiful memorials your baby girl has. Even before she had her stone in place it looks very pretty. Isabella Grace would be so proud of what her mummy did for her. I'll try and post a pic of how Freya's garden looks just now. Freya was buried in a family sized layer so we are still waiting for the ground to settle. Freya is not having a conventional head stone like Isabella Grace - shes having a desktop memorial which is like a big flat granite wedge that sits flat on the ground....as Freya is in a family layer it means that if something happens to me or dh (god forbid) or if we go through another loss that person will go in layer...so eventually we will have a large family headstone. - Such a morbid discussion! :/

I hope you dont mind me asking....we would love to have a little fenced area with some pretty pink stones for Freya. How is the best way to do this? Isabella Grace's first memorial looks very neat and pretty. Is it just a case of putting down some plastic sheeting...getting a little fence and some stones? Also can I ask...Where did you get the pink stones from? Ive googled but cant seem to find them. I absolutely love her new memorial...absolutely gorgeous but completely unfair. Its obvious to anyone that sees it she is loved very very much xxx

Thank you - we are pleased with it. We put the edging down which we bought from ebay, then we put strips of perspex inside that to hold the stones in. Then we pinned down a membrane and put the stones on top.

We got them from here

Initially we had aspen - pink silk and in the second picture it's aspen - rose. We were really pleased with them. It took about 30kg for ours but it depends how much area you want to cover.

Freya's angel garden...I took this a couple of days ago. The ground hasnt quite settled yet xx

It looks lovely hun.

LoraLoo, Eve's garden is just beautiful. I am so so sorry your losses. Its so unfair. Can I ask where you got the glass box with the baby in it? Ive never seen anything like that before, its gorgeous xx

We got it made :flower: We bought her the musical doll for Xmas (3 weeks after she died) its a baby sat on a moon and it plays 'twinkle twinkle' we didnt want it to get ruined so we took it into a glass place and he was lovely he only charged us for the glass (about £10) not for making it. Condensation got into it once, so he made a whole new one free of charge and we had no problems after that xx

Its lovely Lora - I've always loved the glass unit on Eves grave.

Snap! We also had Aspen Pink silk to begin with (as in pic) but they did fade a bit so we replaced them with Aspen Rose. Now though the writing is a slightly different shade, but we need to get the other children (Amy and William) added on to her headstone- we put Love Mammy, Daddy, Caitlyn, Ollie- and then a blank space underneath as we knew we wanted at least 1 rainbow. So when i get them added i will just ask stone mason to go over all the writing to freshen n match it up xx

I just read your story about Eve and left you a little comment. I am so sorry and I wish you all the love and peace in the world xoxox
