    Bluumz, those smocked dresses are adorable! Beautiful work!

    My grandmother hand-smocked more than her share of dresses for my sisters and me.

    I never got into smocking myself, so my daughter had to settle for store-bought Polly Flinders!

    Thanks!
    My oldest daughter (now 30yo) wore a lot of Polly Flinders. When my second daughter was born many years later, I had more time on my hands and became smocking-obsessed. :)
    I hope no one minds if I show off a few more:

    Bluumz, your smocked dresses are adorable! I especially like the ballet shoes one!

    AllFakes, you are so multi-talented! Your turned wooden vase is lovely and I like how you left the bark on from the pear tree!

    To me, people who sew are magicians. It's sorcery. How do they DO that???????

    Thanks! That diary blog was quite a project last year. I thought of re-publishing day-by-day again this year but just didn't have the time. I've let the website stand and it still gets occasional traffic. :)
