my latest creation

Here is my latest creation for Emilee. I started this one right after Christmas, and finished it just in time for a post-valentines day debut. . .
Here is the smocking up close
Aunt Keren's favorite part are the bloomers. . .
And red shoes courtesy of a valentine delivery from Grammy. Thanks Grammy!
And if I do say so myself, I think it was worth it. My favorite I've done so far.

Have you ever seen such a sweet little valentine?

Oh my goodness! She is about the sweetest little thing I have ever seen! She is adorable and I LOVE the dress! How in the world did you learn to do that? My poor little girl is going to have to deal with store bought clothes.

Rachel I love it! Toile is a favorite of mine and Emilee is just adorable. She is lucky to have a mommy who can make her such beautiful clothes.

Wow Rach! It is beautiful, and so is the little Valentine. Are the boys getting jealous that they don't have smocked outfits? ;) Just kidding!

Michelle, you and I are why they invented Spyder.

Is it possible to feel all tingly about a little girls dress? Well, I'm in love. What a darling dress!! She is adorable, the smocking is very impressive, the shoes are precious, but the talent is a TKO!! Who knew you were such a seamstress. Way to go!! Do you want to make one for Molly too?

Wow, could those pictures get any cuter! You are so talented. I love the bloomers too, but really the shoes are just about what did me in! I love little feet, especially sweet little girlie feet. Oh, I need to have another little girl one day. So sweet Rachel. One day my mom will teach me how to smock-pats on the back to you my friend!
