Fresh Baked...

A wonderful (and graceful and elegant) friend gave me a beautiful birthday gift last week. A ceramic loaf pan! She bakes the most tasty breads and she knew that I like to make bread as well. I figured if it baked bread half as pretty as it looks, then I was in for a treat. :-) I finally got a chance to try it out tonight. The loaf has been sitting covered in saran wrap rising all day and I was starting to drool over it. :-) It baked beautifully and the loaf popped right out without sticking! Yum!

Thank you Robin! I love you! (And happy birthday to you too!)

Almost 9 months...

I cannot believe this sweet little thing is almost nine months old!

Half square Triangles...

I have been sewing a bit more on Christmas projects. These are the beginning of a table runner for my sofa table. :-) I used some of the fabric I bought while in Dahlonega and lots of scraps. I plan to make a matching pennant banner for the fireplace and tree skirt as well. :-)

Easing into the Christmas spirit...

Not only am I beginning my Christmas photography season next weekend with Christmas Mini Shoots, I have also begun several sewing projects for the Christmas season. This is the first project I have completed. It is a babydoll blanket and matching pillow! My oldest daughter is going to love it. I can't wait to wrap it up for Christmas morning. :-)

A new logo...

I finished this logo a couple weeks ago for a local youth theatre company. It was a lot of fun to work with the director, and since I know several of the participants, doubly rewarding to work for them.

I also created a logo for their upcoming production "Dougly the Uckling" which is an original play written by Andrew J. Pederson. It is a contemporary adaptation of the beloved "Ugly Duckling." It is sure to be very funny and well performed.

 

Thanks again Elizabeth and the entire theatre company for letting me work with you. And good luck!

Happy Birthday to me!

So, it's my birthday again. I wasn't planning on blogging about it. I don't like closing in on 30. Every year I get a little more antsy about it. But, since I get to grow old with my sweet hubby, I guess I should celebrate it. :-) I slept in and hubby cooked me breakfast and right now is unloading the dishwasher. What more could a girl ask for? Plus three great healthy kids and a visit from my parents this weekend and a trip to Ikea and the Aquarium yesterday. A busy birthday.

Anyway, just thought I would share. Have a great day! :-)

Crazy Month...

The last couple weeks have been crazy. This week was no exception. I wanted to have more time to photograph my kids this week but it was so cold and wet and the kids all have a slight cold and two of them are getting teeth.

I'm sure there will be new photos when my parents come to visit in a few days. But for now here is a cute one from a couple weeks ago. :-) He's a silly little guy.

A few of the "pre-baby" family.

Here are a few of my favorites of the whole family. And yes, this shoot included a giant lollipop! I certainly know how to bribe kids. :-)

 

 

  

And one more after the lollipop. I love that messy mouth! Bring a kid a giant lollipop and he just might be your friend forever. :-)

The beautiful mom...

Here are a couple of the beautiful mother. She's probably going to kill me for posting these, but oh well. :-) She's too pretty to not post. And I know her hubby agrees with me. ;-) 

big brother...

I was very excited to get to photograph a friend before she had her second child a few weeks ago. The baby has since arrived and is healthy. These are a few photos of her big brother. He was very unsure of me at first (can you tell?) but bringing out the bubbles helped. :-) What kid wouldn't love bubbles?
