10 on 10: December

10 on 10:
Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.
I wasn't sure if I could pull off my 10 on 10 this month- things have been hectic around here!  But I really didn't want to miss the last one, so I've cobbled together some photos of our Thanksgiving weekend to share…

This year our Thanksgiving was a little different.  For me, it was the first time in fifteen years that we didn't have Thanksgiving with my family or Paul’s family.  For Paul, it was the first time ever.  His parents retired out of the area earlier this year and we spent Thanksgiving last year with my family so we planned on just a quiet day for the four of us at home.   Good friends heard our plans though and insisted that we join them instead, which ended up being a ton of fun for the grown-ups and kids! 

The day after Thanksgiving Paul is always itching to start getting the Christmas decorations out so we spent the rest of the weekend picking out our tree and decorating.  And then, because we didn't wind up with any leftover turkey Paul decided to smoke a turkey on Sunday after Thanksgiving.   We’re still eating the leftovers of his "small” (if 17 lbs for 2 adults and 2 kids is considered small!) bird!

(p.s.- halfway through these photos my logo changes- been working on some things as the first steps of getting a little business set up!  I still have some tweaking to do with the logo for when I use it as a copyright but I'm getting there!)

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!

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 ...

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...
