Some Digital Scrapbook Pages...

I haven't done very much digiscrapping lately (thanks to the Bejeweled Blitz game on Facebook that's eating up all of my time!) but here are a couple of pages I've done recently but haven't shared here yet....

Journaling reads:
Lately people have been saying that you're starting to look more like your mommy... I see so much of your daddy in you though that it's hard for me to see... You have the same funny expressions and I particularly love it when you're making the same face in a picture of the two of you....

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...
