For Mrs. Gray ♥

Here are some pictures of the smocking project I was just working on. Thanks again for helping us get started with smocking, we are really loving it!

My friend's 3 little girls are very close in age to my 3 so I used mine as mannequins to help try and get a somewhat close fit. :)

The girls had fun trying them on last minute before we packed them up for the post office.


Charis was excited to send one to Suzanna ♥



Mercy sent one to Ella ♥




Julia's new friend is Makenna!





I told Mercy to turn around and show me the back of the dress and this is what I got. :)


Pretty pink dresses to send to sweet friends...





The pattern I did for Makenna's


Then a little bigger for Ella's


And the full pattern for Suzanna's...I'm glad I started the biggest one first!

And HERE are the dresses on their rightful models!


Aren't they ADORABLE?!



Her sweet red-headed babies are just too CUTE!




Oh, and I'm sure you've seen where this dress I did a couple months ago ended up. Evangeline is so precious and Ruth Ann took breathtaking photos of her! I was, of course, tickled pink or purple maybe? That her mommy put her in this dress for pictures. ♥
Thank you again Mrs. Gray! I have a couple more smocking projects in the works and I'll post pictures of those too whenever I am finished! :)

  1. Wow! What a gift. Those are lovely! The babes and the dresses :)

    Lord willing I pray I have a sweet baby girl someday to wear little smocked dresses :))

    In the meantime I will delight in these precious ones :) Thanks!

    I'm soooooo very impressed that you're able to accomplish so much as a new mother of four! Congratulations! I love your family photo. Ruth Ann does wonderful photo shoots! Your family is beautiful!
    I'm terribly behind on so much...blogging seems difficult to get to these days, yet I enjoy it so very much!
