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 !

easy baby skirt



Hubby came home awhile ago with these darling baby legs for Lu but they sat in a drawer waiting for something to wear them with. So, I made her this little skirt out of a light corduroy and (the part that makes the skirt cute) this new Michael Miller trim! I sewed it around the inside of the bottom edge of the skirt so just half would show, like a little scallop edge. It would look great on the outside, as well, like a huge ric rac, which is what I may use the rest for on an old skirt of my own. . . you know, jazz it up a bit because I'm bored of it as is. Anyhow. . . thanks, Kathy Miller, for letting be part of the first group to see and use the Ruffle Rac! I love it! Free pattern here. . .

Jeff Davis says you have the best dressed baby around. I agree!
It looks like you are having a blast with your baby. Did you ever think it would be so much fun?

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.

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.
