This is a design that I did years ago. Years ago when I was publishing designs....when time seemed to be more plentiful.... when just getting that sudden creative energy was enough to make me want to spend hours stitching. The original design was done for The Smocking Arts Magazine in 1986. I did a variation of this design for Austin when he was three years old. At times I feel that I'm in a time machine.....where have the years gone? Austin's romper is smocked on Spechler-Vogel Imperial…

During this weekend I caught the gardening bug, so wasn't able to work on my grand niece's bishop as much as I would have liked. I did manage to finish the smocking and block it before proceeding on to the embroidery. I like to add beads to smocking, it adds a bit of sparkly without overdoing it. I then worked the bullion roses in the large hearts. These are a bit different from any that I have worked before in that it calls for a French knot in in the darkest color for the center, then…
