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 !

Hiking with the Jacksons


My sister, Jenn, and her fam were here last week from Virginia. We did a lot of fun things on the list, including a little hiking trip up to Silver Lake. It is a beautiful loop around the lake by Brighton Ski Resort and is very accessible to people of all abilities, meaning even people in strollers. . . wahoo!

(Please notice my cute nephew, Ethan, and darling neice, Tori. Lucy hung all over Tori and just couldn't get enough of her. Today at church she'd scream every time she saw baby Eleanor. I kind of think she thought it was Tori!"

Beautiful pictures. Tori is sooooo cute and Ethan is looking so big. Is my Lucy walking yet? Can she say Auntie Shannon? What else did you guys do?

How fun! I wish I could have seen Jenn. Kenyon has been wanting to go up to Silver Lake. He thinks that is a hike he can handle. I don't know but we should give it a try. So pretty.

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.
