Brother-Sister Pals<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frankly, it looks like Laurel is\u00c2\u00a0enjoying this sibling hug more than her brother.\u00c2\u00a0 But they did look so cute in their matching smocked frog outfits.\u00c2\u00a0 Both garments are “ready-to-smock” in blue microcheck polyblend fabric, the smocking is two different frog plates.<\/p>\n

Robert’s insert, probably 45″ pleated up, had plenty of pleats to make cute, crisp little frogs from the Cross Eyed Cricket Frog Pond\u00c2\u00a0<\/em> plate.\u00c2\u00a0 But when I tried to smock just one at the center front of Laurel’s dress, it looked like Jabba the Hut and would have scared any children in the area.<\/p>\n

Many picture smocking designs cannot be worked on a bishop and believe me, I tried.\u00c2\u00a0 I regraphed it, reducing the width and increasing the height.\u00c2\u00a0 Smocked and regraphed twice, but to no avail.\u00c2\u00a0 So I chose a different Crosseyed Cricket plate, Tadpole Lesson<\/em> and extracted one small frog from the scene and used it on the bishop.\u00c2\u00a0 The water lily is just free form bullion knots.<\/p>\n

The children\u00c2\u00a0do seem to enjoy matching.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, actually, Laurel seems to enjoy it.\u00c2\u00a0 Robert doesn’t care one bit.<\/p>\n

I wish I had feather stitched\u00c2\u00a0his collar and cuffs in green.\u00c2\u00a0 But I was out of time.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
