A friend in California is expecting her first grandchild. She was going through her son's baby things and came across a little romper that I had made for him. She posted it on Facebook. I had forgotten I had made it. It was a surprise to see it again after all this time.
When my second daughter was born, I began smocking dresses for her. I loved doing it. I found it quite relaxing and rewarding. I smocked her dresses, nightgowns, robes, bonnets, little pouches to match her dresses. I smocked rompers and pinafores, I even smocked the ring-barer's suit for our #1 daughter's wedding.
Here is the picture of the little baby romper I made 30 year ago.
This is Max, son of a friend of the bride. He was the little ring-bearer, at our daughter's wedding. The little ecru smocked shirt buttons on the green velvet shorts. He was so cute. He was persuaded to preform with a bribe of M&M's which were his very favorite treat.
