It's Almost the Weekend...

And I'm finally getting around to posting pics from our weekend in PA with the fam... Been super busy formatting history papers at work all week and am exhausted when I get home so I apologize for not posting these earlier!

Here are some highlights of the big Easton Weekend:

There were canals and trains...

And there were mules...

And deep thoughts...

Some general goofiness...

And some strolling.

There was a dog obsessed with playing with the pool ball...

So obsessed she fell in... Twice. (and yes I'm posting a photo of me, in a swim suit, pregnant... look away now if you're easily frightened....)

But she kept going....

And going...

Until she had to stop and lounge on her beach towel.

And then there was chatter....

And funny faces...

And food...

And eating....

And more deep thoughts...

And before we knew it the weekend was over... And there was a good-bye photo taken mainly to document my growing stomach... which is slightly more flattering than the bathing suit photo above... mainly because I'm fully dressed.....

Other highlights with no pictures to show for them:

A rousing game of Trivial Pursuit, the 80's Version.

Hot dogs from Shark's.

The Easton Farmer's Market.

Dinner at a Portuguese Restaurant.

Sitting on the "bum benches" in Centre Square.

Ice cream from the Purple Cow.

And there are more photos for anyone interested on my flickr site.

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh! And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge. Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum . The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts. Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual. We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene. I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

A Bit of Sewing….

I’ve been on a sewing kick lately- made a few things for Eliza that I thought I’d share (of course, I also have a list about a mile long of things I really need to get working on for Christmas, but bumped them all to make these little, totally not needed but too cute to resist, pieces…). First up is another Geranium Dress from the pattern by Made by Rae . The pattern is for a sleeveless dress or one with cap sleeves but I really wanted long sleeves so I drafted my own and they worked out perfectly! The fabric is a super soft baby corduroy. I made a mistake and sewed the skirt on the wrong way- instead of picking it all apart though I decided to just cover my seam (which should have been on the inside- whoops, distracted!) with a fabric band. I used the same fabric for the lining in the bodice. On the patch pockets I stitched Eliza’s name- it says “Eliza” on one pocket and “Rose” on the other.. I wish I’d used the polkadot pattern for the pockets as I thi...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

(Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.” I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one. We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days. It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill. The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect. I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot. I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls! Sophie the Giraffe: Army Guys: Captain America (I never noticed how r...
