Sweet Little Smiles

These little dresses on my precious little granddaughters....Ava, Olivia, and Isabel were part of my sewing projects last week! As I've always said...English smocking is such a fun and graceful way to make a little girl look girlie!!! Ava's dress and the French Hand Sewn collar were made years ago when Kristen was five years old.......It pays to keep treasures........where your heart is, there your heart is also. I do treasure these precious little ones!

Penny, the dresses are precious and the sweeties in them even more precious! My mom smocked for me when I was little and I always loved wearing the dresses she made. You are so talented in so many ways!

Words and Widsom from Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"It is a difficult lesson to learn today--to leave one's friends and family and deliberately practice the art of solitude for an hour or a day or a week. For me, the break is the most difficult. Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It is like an amputation, I feel. A limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before. It is as if parting one did actually lose an arm. And then, like the star-fish, one grows it anew; one is whole again, complete and round--more whole, even than before"
