A birthday doll and some smocking

Last week, in between the 6 feet of snow that fell, a birthday doll managed to leave eastern Massachusetts and make it to her new home.  I also spent some of my snowbound time smocking.

And along with a few snowstorms, we had an adorable 13 year old exchange student from Shanghai, who was fairly polite and good natured about the snow and cold, but must have been happy this is not her home.
