I added backstitched outlining to the faces around the eyes and for the noses and mouths. I also added whiskers- how cute! You can also see the flowers on either side of Center Kitty. I still need to add clothes pins to the mittens and a cable border at the top and bottom. I have already begun the backsmocking and it's going quickly. I think this is going to be finished very soon!I pulled some pale pink baby wale corduroy out of my stash for this project. There's not quite enough to make Annika as planned, so I had to look for an alternative. I'm thinking about putting the insert into this little OOP Vogue dress:
It's a simple, short sleeve A-line dress. I might make it sleeveless so the Princess can wear a turtleneck under it. I'm picturing it with tights and pink ballet flats.The weather is getting nasty here- we're expecting up to an inch of ice tonight and snow on top of that. I just hope my power stays on so I can see to smock and sew!

Such sweet smocking. I really like that pattern. I'm going to get it. I'm trying to increase my patterns for my older grands. They've outgrown most of mine.
We're supposed to get the ice tomorrow afternoon and night. Hope you keep warm.
I love that idea. What a cute Vogue pattern! I can't wait to see the final results! Snow is heading our way next! Stay inside and warm!
