Outtakes...

Here are a few outtakes from our little photo session yesterday during which LP and I tried to get over our irritation with each other (oh and by the way, little man came down with a minor fever last night along with a hacking cough and stuffed up nose so perhaps that was why he was so irritable.  Me, on the other hand, am completely healthy (knock on wood) and have no real excuse for being irritable....):

This one is entitled, "Chalk.  Broken."  All of our sidewalk chalk looks like this as LP prefers throwing it around on the driveway to actually drawing with it.  Unless he's forcing me to draw Thomas Train after Thomas Train in various colors and with specific instructions like "Diesel needs a funnel!  NO!  NOT THERE!  It's all wrong....."

These are my favorite sneakers in the whole wide world.  So loved that I actually have 4 pairs:  brown, black, greenish suede and white.  Soooo comfy and easy to put on cause I just leave mine unzipped halfway most of the time.  Check them out if you're looking for sneaks:  Merrell's Lorelei.  (And no, I did NOT pay $90 per pair- I'm WAY too cheap for that.  Mine were all picked up at TJMaxx and Marshall's for far less... They're worth the $90 though.

LP has Merrell's too.  Got his at a local consignment store in perfect condition for $15.  Score!

This photo is entitled, "Boy: Irritated, With Crusty Nose."

And this one is called "Stop Taking My Picture!"

And so I stopped... For yesterday anyway!

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!

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...

Cote D'Azur Sunhat

Now that we live in the desert we've had to majorly change our sun protection habits.  In Massachusetts we wore sunscreen in the summer and hats if it was "extra sunny" but here it's sunny 99% of the time and hot!  We're wearing hats, sunglasses and sunscreen basically every day! I've been relying on a few baseball caps and some old sunhats I had but really needed something with a wider brim to provide more shade.    When I saw a tester call for the Cote D'Azur Sunhat I jumped on it and was lucky enough to be chosen! This is the first wearable pattern from quilt designer Shannon Mac Designs  and it is fabulous!  The pattern was designed to fit head circumferences of 16"- 24" and has 4", 5" and 6" brim options.   It fits most people 12 months and up! I made my sunhat in size 6 (circumference 21-22") with a 4" brim.  I used quilting cotton that I'd been hoarding on the outside and a more neutral cotton on ...
