It was a beautiful fall day today! After a refreshing walk I carved out some time to sit and stitch. I worked on this sweet little preemie gown. I recently pleated it and today I was able to enjoy smocking it. I am using a medium blue DMC floss. I can't find the label for the floss number - I must have thrown it away - so I can't share the actual color number. I posted a video on my Instagram account (sewblessedcindy) of smocking the first row, which is a cable stitch. So if you are curious what smocking looks like in real time go take a look. The first row is always a little bit fiddly for me, but with a little patience and perseverance it always works out. I am not quite finished with all the smocking, but when I am I will share a picture.
Were you able to take a few minutes today to ground yourself by doing something you really enjoy? I hope so!
xoxo!
