Let's peel back these layers!

juliannlaw Here is a closeup of the endpapers in my debut picture book, THE WORKD’S LONGEST SOCK. I work digitally in Adobe Photoshop but the program doesn’t do it all for me! I knit all the pixels by hand! Haha! I do have things I do to help me work quickly and efficiently, though, like using layers. Here you get to see me take off those layers one by one till we are back at nothing but a background. The World's Longest Sock is now available on  Amazon ,  Barnes and Noble ,  Target , or wherever you  buy books !

Dwell Baby at Target!


The great crib debate of 07/08 may be coming to a close! Hubby has really wanted to build a crib for little Lu based on some very fabulous, very expensive modern baby cribs by ducduc. Well, 5 months have gone by (let alone the six pre-baby months where this has been in the works) and still no crib. I have all the confidence in the world that he could do it and would do a brilliant job, he just doesn't have the time. Sigh. But alas! A compromise. . . Target just announced that they are going to carry two cribs by Dwell Studios (and a whole line of other cool baby stuff). I think I've convinced him that this is our perfect alternative! He loves Dwell style and I love Target prices. . . it's perfect!

just found your blog and can I say you have got style. I was telling your husband that I was driving down douglas on sat. and saw a very stylish stroller (a tree was blocking my view so I could not see who was pushing it) but I instantly knew it must be the law's. I can always count on you guys for looking good. can't wait to be neighbors.
oh and lucy's leggings - adorable!

if these old walls could speak. . .

. . . they'd tell fantastic stories of medieval court life and dragons and castles! I just saw these fantastic shadow puppets at Kate's Paperie but of course they are sold out! Wouldn't it be fun to make some though? Lucy's into pirates these days. . . I could design a set of pirate shadow puppets. . . add that to the list of projects I would love to do but probably never will. Seriously.

hospital buddies

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.
