Here is the smocking design that I promised to share! It is a beginner level design with basic cables, waves, and trellises. 
The bishop design.
Row 1: Cable Stitch
Rows 1 1/2 - 3: Three rows of half row, Baby Waves
Row 3: Baby Wave, 3 step Wave Trellis
Row 4 - 5 1/2: 5 step Wave Trellis
Row 4 1/2 - 6: 5 step Wave Trellis
The sleeve design.
Rows 1 1/2 - 3: 3 rows of Baby Waves

If you need a good reference book to help you get started smocking, my favorites are "The Joy of Smocking" and "A-Z Smocking."
These cold winter nights are perfect for smocking!

I'm going to use your design on my next bishop and it just happens to be pleated and waiting on a hanger to be smocked! Thanks :)
I would love to see a picture when you are done.
Michie,
Thank you for sharing the design. I am going to use it to make my baby a spring bishop! :)
If you don't mind, I would like to add you to my blogroll.
Ivoryspring, I would be most flattered to be added to your blogroll!
