Project 365- Weeks 17- 25

So, did y'all think I'd fallen off the Project 365 wagon? Well, I kinda did. I'm still taking the photos (most days!) but hadn't put together a weekly spread since the end of April.

Well, you'll be glad to know, I'm all caught up. In case you were worried, here are weeks 17-25:

Week 17: Missed 1 day. Oops.

Week 18: Yay, 7 pictures, 7 days!

Week 19: Hmmm.. Think I take too many photos of LP eating. The dining room gets the best light in the house though so I tend to take a lot of pictures in there...

Week 20:

Week 21: Missed 2 days as we were all caught up in Project: Patio

Week 22:

Week 23: More patio work = only 5 pictures

Week 24: I love my photos from this week- I think they really captured the week well (rather than just being all photos of LP!)

Week 25: Again, only 5 days worth. No excuses for it, it just is what it is.

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...

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...

10 on 10: July

10 on 10: Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month . This year was our first fourth of July where it was just the 4 of us. In the past Paul’s parents were living nearby and we’d all get together. This year though we had a quiet day at home. The kids splashed in the kiddie pool and Paul smoked up some ribs for dinner. Yum! Now head on over to Kate Suzanne Photography - she just relocated to Asheville, NC and is sure to have a great 10 in 10!
