Aimee, I think the dress looks great -- the most I've ever attempted was a (hand-sewn) Christmas stocking. Be proud of you!
All my grandparents were gone before me. I'm trying to make sure my kids enjoy time with theirs.
My dad was explaining the boys over Christmas how lucky they are to have not only grandparents living (three, still) but two great-grandmothers. It's so uncommon these days, I think as people maybe have kids older. I know even when I was a kid, my friends were amazed I still had all four grandparents *and* a great-grandmother. Stephen barely remembers any of his grandparents -- I think his last remaining grandparent died when he was eight.
