Several of you may remember when my sister, Melissa came for a visit a year ago. Not only was she was brave enough to join in for our "Prairie Days" experiment she taught us how to smock!
She eventually turned this smocking into a doll dress. I have to admit that I didn't work on my small project once she left, but we won't tell her that, ok? ;0)
She also made beautiful knitted pillows for the girls.
Anyways, Melissa now has her own blog! It's called Bombshell Studios and yesterday she made a cookie that was almost too pretty to eat. Not quite though!
I would love if you would go over and say a quick hello!!
Have a great weekend!
I do remember your sister visting you last year and all the fun you had (even with the heat during your Prairie days). Have a wonderful weekend. I'm popping over to your sister's blog now. Here I go.......
ReplyDeleteI love the smocking... my mom learned to do it after I married and left home... so I never learned... it is so cool... it makes beautiful pillows!!

ReplyDeleteI've desperately been wanting to learn smocking for 17 years now. Someday I'll take a class. Maybe in time for a grand daughter.
