January Photo Shoot...

For the past few days Little Paul has decided not to nap during the day.  He might take a 10 minute catnap in the afternoon but he's mostly awake, and wants to be held and played with all day.  I'm more than happy to do so but let's face it, there's only so much a 7 week old can do and he gets frustrated after about 10 minutes of any particular activity.  So we rotate between playing on his play  mat, swinging in his swing, walking around the house, sitting in the bouncy seat, playing on his tummy.. repeat this cycle all day long and throw in a few feedings and a ton of diaper changes and that's our day... (And then, of course, he decides to nap as soon as Daddy gets home!)

Yesterday I decided to break things up a bit and do another "photo shoot".  It was sleeting outside so I knew that the light wouldn't be great but thought we'd try anyway. 

Here are a few of my favorite shots.  They look a little 1970's since they have an orangey tinge to them as there wasn't enough light. I put LP on a brown blanket which adds to the 70's feel.  We'll just pretend that I planned it that way!

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!

10 on 10: August

Here's August's 10 on 10!  It was a quiet day at home with just a trip to the playground to shake things up!  Thought I'd try something new by adding captions to each photo- what do you think?  For some reason they look a little blurry to  me- will have to figure that out for next time! Now head on over to Kate Suzanne Photography in Asheville for her 10 on 10!

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...
