The cat appeared to like the dress…

…but actually it was more interested in dinner.

  I did do the smocking – my first attempt in 45 years or so…

what an adorable little smocked frock. Aurelia looks so cute in this dress. A sweet little girl and her cat!

  I am hoping to practice the smocking some more, but Aurelia thinks this one is just right! The cat thinks everything is just right as long as there is a fishy in her dishy!

The color of that little orange and white dress looks great on Aurelia with her hair. Just so pretty.

  Aurelia says thanks! She says this design is cool, roomy and pretty, and she is one of the few individuals I know who looks great in orange – perhaps it is the yellowish colour of her Paulownia wood or her innate friendliness and confidence – she has never minded having “red” hair!
