Just a quick note and a picture today. This week is crazy with three days of dental checkups. Micha and Lissa were Monday, Terran and Abi are today, (Jeremi and Juli had theirs last month), and I'm on Friday. whew! So far only two have to go back for fillings, and hopefully that will be it.
My little Emi is getting huge :) 3 1/2 months already. I love this smily phase, talking in her little gurgly baby language and only just thinking about the possibility of starting to become mobile. Soon enough, little girl!
Emilie is wearing her Christmas dress - my first successful attempt at smocking. :) I've tried a few times before, but not having a pleater, I was trying to machine sew even lines of basting stitches or picking up dots by hand, and my attempts were not completely satisfactory. This time I splurged on a ready to smock garment from Sew Beautiful. I did the smocking around the yoke, adapting patterns from my stash of old Sew Beautiful magazines. I took out the pleating on the sleeves as I wanted just a simple elastic edge with a ribbon rosette. The hand crotcheted lace that I added to the bottom edge was made by my friend at www.prairiebugs.com I think I'm hooked and will be saving up for a pleater of my own. :) |
