New Improved Blog!

Well folks, I decided to change up the old blog design... After 2 + years with the same header I thought something new was in order. So if you're reading this in a blog reader, click on over!!

The main changes?  There's a new header and background.  I also updated my list of blog links and added them to tabs at the top of the page.  So there's now a tab for friends with blogs, and a tab for my favorite other blogs. I added little descriptions of each blog too in case you're looking for something specific (or just want to know what I'm recommending before you click over!)

Hope you enjoy!  Let me know if you have any issues with anything- it looks pretty good on both my home computer (wide screen) and my work computer (standard screen)- although it's definitely cuter on the wide screen as there are some cute borders that get cut off on the normal sized screens....

My next post will be a re-cap of LP's second birthday- complete with piles of presents, photos of the cake, and lots of cuteness.  Until then I leave you with one of my favorite photos from the big birthday weekend, LP with my brother, his Uncle Nelson:

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...
