Monday Snapshot: Baby Blues...

So Paul has blue eyes and I have brown eyes.  When I was pregnant with LP I figured we had a 40% chance of having a blue-eyed baby (and apparently, blue eyes are becoming more and more rare in the US- it used to be that almost half of the population had blue eyes but now it's more like 1 in 6!) since both my mother and Paul have blue eyes (however, I'm not a geneticist or whoever would figure that out so perhaps my math is wrong!).  Anyway, while LP was born with dark blue eyes they pretty quickly began to change.  For almost a full year it was hard to tell what color his eyes were- sometimes they looked green, sometimes hazel, sometimes brown.  Today, they're decidedly brown- a lighter shade than mine but definitely brown.

Eliza was also born with blue eyes but from the looks of things they're going to stay that way! They've shown no evidence of changing and we're so happy to have a brown-eyed boy and a blue-eyed girl!

    Wow! Those sure are gorgeous blue eyes!!!! :) What a doll! Our Alidia has blue blue eyes too and neither DH nor I have blue eyes, but his Dad and my Mum do... so it was unlikely but it happened.. and pretty sure at 1 year now, they are here to stay! :)

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...
