Winter Projects

Well - here is the last batch 0f photos since JANUARY! Here are Grace & Gretchen working on Valentines. They are crimping little papers - with chocolates inside. VERY fun!
A good friend of mine adopted a little girl from China. She is 3. I decided to take up smocking again in January. Here is a little dress I made for her. I can't wait to see her in it! She is pretty little - it may be awhile yet!
Ingrid is doing great with her knitting. The school has a project to dress bears for a handicapped kids ranch up in the Adirondacks. Here is one of our bears with a sweater and hat Ingrid knitted. She'll get to help dress the 600, yes SIX HUNDRED, bears at school next week.
So - to keep with the smocking idea - I made this nightgown for my Mother's 85th Birthday. Now - maybe I'll have to get a pleater and do one for myself one of these days. It looks pretty comfy for a hot summer night!
These mittens are a Nordic pattern. They are wool - and VERY WARM and Comfy. I'm hoping to enter them in the fair this summer!
