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 !

A blag about my friend, Ann. . .


Look at this fabulous idea from Ann. While visiting her Grandma Dolly in Vernal (is that right, Ann?) she decided to take some pictures around the house. . . what a brilliant way to document the lives of someone you love! And these pictures will help keep this an important place in their family history for years to come. Here's something Ann said that sums up her little photo essay:
I love the scent of her fresh clean bath towels and the blooming lilac bushes, the sound of her creaky floors and doors, and the sight of my Grandpa's hats hanging in the hallway. For me, its refreshing to be in a place that doesn't change much and has had the same phone number since before I was born. . .

How can I not comment on this post! I was hoping to see some fun house update pics and my Grandma's house came up! Thanks for blag. I love that place!

You are the inspiration for it as I've loved seeing all the fun details of your new old house. Keep them coming!

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.
