Cranky....

I'm in a cranky mood tonight.  Am having a glass of wine for dinner because after I made LP "pasketti and eatballs" (which was AFTER I cleaned up 2!!  poopy pairs of underpants) I couldn't be bothered to make anything else.  Paul had sandwiches and I sat in my pjs at the kitchen table with my glass of wine (the end of the bottle- oh no!).

 

As much as I hate working out, I've noticed that when I don't get enough exercise I have a harder time being patient and un-cranky.  I got a good long walk in on Sunday but haven't had any exercise since then.  Combine that with super crowded trains going home today (at 2 in the afternoon- all full up with college students with rolling suitcases, texting away as they rolled along instead of paying attention to the poor commuters they were running over) and a general feeling of blah (yup- "Aunt Flo" is due to join us on Thanksgiving Day) and it's wine for dinner.

On the train.  

Wearing a shirt that made me feel frumpy all day, with my hair in a ponytail because I was too rushed to blow dry it this morning.  

All contributing to my general blah-ness.


Ok- I've wallowed long enough.  I could go sit on the couch and read blogs and play the Harry Potter Lego game (on sale on iTunes right now for 2.99- and totally worth it) that I'm currently obsessed with (seriously- soooo fun!) OR I could go to my sewing room and be creative for a while.  Or at least tidy it up so that when inspiration strikes I'm all set to sew....

 

Think I'll go with option 2.... Right after I crack open another bottle of wine....

 

See ya manana!

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!

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...

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...
