A Bit of Smocking.....


Thank you all so much for the warm wishes for my little ones. The three older kids are feeling better....just have a lingering cough (two of them also have a sinus infection - just for fun). Saturday evening Ean started getting sick. He has been miserable. Well it's hard to feel well when you are keeping a 104.7 fever for hours and hours. We have had a few rough nights but I am hopeful he will be better soon. He still has quite a cough but he is trying so hard to maintain a good attitude. A few minutes ago a neighbor came to our door and surprised us with dinner. In the process of thanking him I noticed that Ean fell down and sunk his top tooth right through his bottom lip. Sweet baby...he is really having a rough day!!!

Before the kids got sick I was working on a gift for a precious friend of mine. I met this sweet friend last year through this humble little blog. She has offered me so much encouragement, wisdom, etc over the months. She is definitely the kind of person I would love to have live next door. But since we live a few states away from each other, I'll take her friendship via e-mail.

Anyway, this friend of mine has three beautiful grandchildren. Two of them are twin grand-daughters and they will be two this month. I so wanted to make them something special for their big day. So I dug out patterns and fabrics to decide what to make them. I won't share all the details yet...but here is a sneak peek. I only lack hemming them (yes "them", remember there are two of them!) But what a joy it has been sewing for these precious little girls!

Poor little Ean! Hope he is feeling better soon, and that everyone else remains healthy. The dress is beautiful, as your work always is.

Thanks ladies!!!

Yes, I love to make stuff for other people!! And I am praying Ean gets better fast. His sweet little lip is all puffed out today and looks so sad! Not to mention his cough could stop a bus! Sweet baby!

The smocking plate is from Beginning Smocking, the new book by Michie Mooney (Creations by Michie).
