One Year Ago....

One year ago today I started my little blog (ok, I actually started it on May 5 but moved it to its current site on May 12 and forgot all about that old wordpress blog, so technically it's 1 year and one week....)  In the past year I've posted 181 times which is about every other day- not too bad considering how infrequently I've been posting lately!  Hopefully I'll be able to keep posting at this rate for the next year!

Thought I'd post a few pictures from my very first Mother's Day.  We really had a nice day.  My parents sent me some rose bushes, Paul's parents gave me a lavendar plant, Little Paul made the cutest garden stepping stone with his name and footprints in it at daycare, and I received lovely cards from both Pauls... I didn't QUITE get to sleep in but I did get to go to Homegoods and TJ Maxx ALL BY MYSELF (and was good and didn't buy anything!) which was nice.  We had a great dinner (Paul smoked a whole chicken on the smoker, we also had avocado salad, corn on the cob and lobsters!!) and we all spent some time in the backyard lounging on a blanket and just enjoying the day.  I told Paul that the one thing I really wanted was for him to take some pictures of me with LP as I'm usually the one behind the camera and so he did....  Enjoy the pics- and look how great LP is doing with sitting up all by himself!!!

We need a little work on the smiling for the camera thing!

Those eyes!  The way he sucks his bottom lip in!  That left eyebrow that moves just like his Daddy's!!  I can't stand the cuteness- gets me every time!


And here's one sitting up inside wearing his hip new bandana bib- I was so tired of taking pictures of him wearing bibs that I thought I'd make some that are a little bit cuter!  I love the way they turned out and need to make some more!

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!
