smocking – Ruth E. Hendricks Photography

Oh, they were so much younger then (me, too)

I smocked the frame (and Laura’s dress)

Mark Matthew and Laura

You were one not so long ago.

Now you’re mom to a one year old!

Happy Happy Birthday to you Laura.

You make life nice.

Love,

Your Mom

P.S. Refer to last year’s birthday post to see how time flies.

Embroidery Floss.

You can see the faded old labels and the new labels with the bar codes.

I’m smocking again. Each color has a Number

There are 454 solid colors in this brand.

Thought I’d organize them in the little plastic box with bobbins, labeling each number in the corresponding color

Not exactly sure why-

An old musical box pillow I made when Laura was small. You know the tune it plays.
