I just realized this is my first post about the nursery! I only briefly mentioned it in an earlier post. So let me bring you up to speed on where we are now and at the end I’ll do a final room post so you can see it altogether.

Gifts for My Niece | Sewing Projects

I wanted to share a few things I made for my niece as baby shower gifts. I really love that even though I am having a boy, I still get to play with girly, pink stuff too.
I hadn’t made these before so I picked up the wrong burp cloths but I still think they will [...]

Baby Stuff

If you follow my photography blog, you’ll see that last month I made a goal of completing some sewing projects for a friend. She is having a little boy this month and I am so excited and happy for them. Brian and Blakeley will make awesome parents and I can’t wait to meet their little [...]

This past weekend I got back to doing something I haven’t done in years and it felt good.
The original plan was to drive to San Antonio on Saturday for an engagement session with one of our clients but we rescheduled because of the weird weather that day. So without a shoot we had a free [...]

I am Still Here!

I hate neglecting my blog so much! And it’s even worse when I have so many ideas and things to share! It’s been hard to find the time lately to sit down though and put those ideas into posts for you all.

Curtain Call

I had hoped to have some different kind of posts for you all this week like the making of the clutch and what not but it seems it’s the week for curtains instead.
Sunday my sister and her husband spent the afternoon and evening with us. Most of the time we spent eating, talking, playing [...]

Feature: Betsy Ross

Betsy Ross Journal is the blog of Aimee, a pattern designer in Philadelphia. Another blog I have been following for a while but not sure how I found it. She isn’t a frequent writer but what I love are her patterns. She has simple but classic designs and best of all the patterns are simple. [...]
