A season for Babys

It must be baby season. Everyone I know is pregnant or having their next little bundle of love. Not us though we decided to put that off for awhile till I get a degree in nursing or at least start...which I'm doing very soon. Just basics. I've had to many 'requests' for baby blankets right now from my family that knows people who are having baby's. Oh my! That's ok baby blankets are my favorite, so cute and little. Little being very good so it doesn't take a long time ;) I have a very cute tutorial for baby blocks and a tagged blanket too by Moda Bake Shop. I'm going to do a few sets of those for some friends too.

I also made a dress. Not the prettiest fabric I'll say that now, but the pattern was nice until I messed it up ha ha. Its the Socialite Dress by Anna Maria. Sew Mama Sew did a pattern review that was very very helpful to me. It didn't turn out too bad though. I just have to go back and add waste ties so that its not so big looking on me. The neckline on mine is up much higher than it should be. I'm not entirely sure why. Just know that when you're sewing the yoke you need to be accurate, that's where I messed up.

Our weather is rapidly approaching fall. Its still warm during the days but pretty chilly at night and all the leaves are starting to turn. I might take the little man outside for some pictures today. Cant believe my boy will be two in December. Time flys...

Sunny Weather

I call my son my sunny weather or baby sunshine he always repeats sunshine :) He makes me very giddy. He so adorable. Anyway blogging about pictures today. Yesterday was so beautiful we went out and got some good shots. None without drool running down his face ha ha. I had to upgrade my flickr account because I wanted to use their cool stuff to edit my photos. I'm currently waiting on my photoshop CS3 to arrive, even though most times I still love using Flickr or Picasa. I also did some self portraits. I see photographers all the time with their avatar like this so I wanted to see what I could do. Its an interesting perspective. I had fun editing them though. I just with I had that photoshop for some things.





Last night my keep me awake dilemma was my husband snoring :(

Yesterday my son was getting into something he wasn't supposed to and I told him no don't do that. Then he preceded to do it again I said "Landon what did mommy say" he says "roooar". Lol. He does that because we ask him what all the animals say snake, bear, lion, etc. I just didn't expect him so say that's what mommy says. He a hoot. He says funny things already. He's going to be one of those kids that say hilarious things all the time.







PS Over the weekend, Please remember our soldiers. Its why we have this holiday. So just keep that in mind at the BBQ's.

Pictures of the Little Guy

I have some pictures I took a few weeks back, well could be months who knows, that I really liked and wanted to share. I love using the macro lens the pictures are just stunning, you'll see what I mean. And ther's nothing like shooting outdoors. None of these pictures were edited except some cropping. Enjoy.

My son Landon and I

A little about my photos. A lot of these were taken in what I call home. Washington state. I started taking pictures when I was just out of high school. Its one of my passions. And now I have a new subject, my son. The best one yet. I usually do photos in the spring and summer and occasionally fall. Summer is my best time, its full of life. I also love photo editing in Adobe photo shop CS3 extended. Its a very complex program that can do so many things. I shoot with a Nikon d40 currently I'm hoping soon to upgrade to the d90. I love this camera. Anyway I hope you enjoy them.
