Don't feel left out now. The high-necked smocked dress was made for me by my sister Nannette in a cream, green and yellow floral Liberty/Viyella when I was about 11 years old. It had smocked cuffs that went 1/2 way up my forearms and a smocked neck that went up to just under my chin, with buttons down the back, also smocking across the chest and was -strangely- smock style in shape. I was obsessed by the blue velvet dress with the smocked sleeves for years and always wished she had made that one for me. My other sister Kerry did variations on the free-styling owl embroidery. Mum threw out our copies of the Golden Hands a few years ago but has managed to present me with a complete bound set in apology. Now just have to find a copy of the 'New Golden Hands'. Do you think it would be a good name for a shop? Probably not- people might think it a fetish style brothel.penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267416259888049673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22584105.post-85673250923611707662007-06-19T20:05:00.000+10:002007-06-19T20:05:00.000+10:00aggghhh the pretty pictures aren't showing up on m...aggghhh the pretty pictures aren't showing up on my computer- definitely CRUEL world<BR/>using my imagination........penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267416259888049673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22584105.post-14387024482141503292007-06-19T19:47:00.000+10:002007-06-19T19:47:00.000+10:00I know she's just unbelievably good looking, and f...I know she's just unbelievably good looking, and for a short hobbit like redhead a ridiculously unattainable look.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640650359499248682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22584105.post-37297507662111193722007-06-19T17:52:00.000+10:002007-06-19T17:52:00.000+10:00I have both these books, and both are very high on...I have both these books, and both are very high on my favourites.<BR/><BR/>I remember wanting desperately wanting to be that blonde model with the braids, as a child.shulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349989043861777133noreply@blogger.com
