all you need

I could play with Illustrator all day.

Thanks Robin!

A quick photo shoot and brunch at Bruges Waffles & Frites (yum!) resulted in:

Smasher the Dragon

He was definitely the most fierce of all the spooky tykes at Grandma's first annual Halloween party.

There were lots of fun games and activities like...

... a donut eating contest. Some kids were awesome at it. Others weren't so thrilled.

...pumpkin art. Miniature pumpkins and washable markers were perfect for the kiddos.

... a cake walk. It only lasted about 3 minutes and everyone won!

...finding an eye ball in a bowl of brains. Some found the eye balls and others ate the brains.

Lunch was mini mummy pizzas and cider with worms.

We even turned Grandpa into a mummy! Thanks for a great party Grandma!

We like to shop

He likes to shop. I like to shop.

We make a great team!!

Fleet Foxes

I've been in love with this song ever since Robin included it in her Fall Mix from last year. Yep, it's been a year and I still can't get enough of it.


This isn't the actual music video, just some nice pictures.

I caught A. in a really happy moment today as he climbed up on the highchair. 

At one point (top left) he was squealing with delight. 

Look at those squatty little legs. I love it.

my new lens

I'm psyched about my new camera lens. I just want to snap photos all day long. Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend. We took A. up to the cabin. It was his first camping trip. There were little yellow wild flowers everywhere.

8 months

A. turned 8 months on Saturday. I can't believe it. Did you notice that I skipped the 7 month photo? I just never got around to posting it last month. :)

no napping

He was supposedly napping.

craft lake city

puppy cuddle

We spied our little man cuddling with his Uga dog in bed last night. Too cute.

I'm not here

We've been on vacation in Georgia. It was marvelous. But I'm not actually here. I'm sewing like a madwoman getting ready for Craft Lake City.

a-dor-able

infant push-ups

Exercise is important at every age. Duh.

need a tissue?

I have a lot of sewing to do in prep for Craft Lake City. I whipped up a pile of these tissue pouches today. August 14th is coming up fast. If you're near Salt Lake on that day, stop by the Gallivan Plaza and say hi!

So, these fabric flowers were fun to make!
Do you like them?
Is this something you would (or want to) make?

Craft Night Out!

I'm making plans to host a marvelously creative Craft Night Out. You just pay 5ish bucks, come to my house, and I'll have everything you need to make the designated creative crafty thing. There's no date set yet, but it will be sometime in July or August. So, heads up! There will only be room for 10 people! Once the plans are set I'll post registration details here. Got anything in mind you want to make? I'm thinking these awesome no-sew fabric flowers but I'm open to suggestions!

and in case you read oh happy day, I had the idea first :)

giggle gut

A. Thought it was so funny watching our little neighbor boy run around the house.
