strawberry season

I tried a new kind of stitching on my machine the other day called "faux smocking" and, I have to say, I love it!  It's such a fun change from the usual appliqués that I do.  Hadley was all too willing a model for me today.  :-)

This sweet strawberry and I were taking some pictures when Daddy pulled in from a trip to the store and it was all over.  Beeline!

The only thing that brought her back to me was a promise that she could ring the doorbell.  ha!

I loooove her little tongue sticking out in concentration.  Trying so, so hard to reach it!

Don't worry - I lifted her up so she could press it.  :-)
