A New Prince!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their third child into the world yesterday. The baby, a boy, weighed in at 8 lbs 7 oz and left the hospital with his parents a few hours after the birth, but not before he had been visited by his older brother Prince George and sister, Princess Charlotte.

Of course, it is Charlotte's dress that is good news for those of us who smock-yes another cute smocked square yoke dress! And more good news is that it is sold out, so smocking is popular, especially when it is worn by fashion icons even if they are only two years old

And the new Prince was born on St. George's Day-even better!

Happy St. Georges Day!

In England April 23 is St. Georges Day. St. George is the patron saint of England (as well as a few other countries!) and his flag, a red cross on a white background is part of the Union Jack.

St. George wasn't even English, but probably was born in a region now know as Turkey. He became a hero and legends were told about his bravery and because of this became adopted as the patron saint.

St. George is mostly portrayed slaying a dragon as in this needlework by nun Agatha.
