  1. Surely it would have been easier for the kiddie to take the trousers off first, but I suppose the picture wouldn't have been so cute then :)

  4. Thought it was time to check back here for more of your stereoscopes. It looks like that kid is being sewn onto his mother's apron. I'd like to see him cut those strings.

  5. These are so cute.
    It's the only way she could get the child to hold still. "Don't make me stitch your behind."

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary
(A.B. Alcott). Stay and visit awhile. Your comments mean a lot to me.
