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 !

WT BBQ




Pink flamingos in the front yard? Underwear hanging on the clothes line? But, of course! What could be more appropriate a "send off" for our friends Eric and Kate (see below) who are moving to Ohio than a very Improper, White Trash Barbecue.

Here's hubby after a long, hot few hours at the grill. . . kickin' it.

If we had done a prize for "best dressed," I would have had to given it to Kate. . .


And Kat who has already done justice to the great event in her blog (nice belted leopard top, chica!)

Sophie wins for most photogenic of the evening. . .


This pic of Lance is a little fuzzy but way to good NOT to post. . . and YES, I actually ate that hotdog. Why did I choose the completely black one, you ask? That's what a good hostess does, takes the worst one to leave the only slightly crispy hotdogs for her guests.


Lucy enjoyed the rare moment where we actually LET her make a mess.



A few of the fine dishes on the buffet table.


Macey and Lisa in matching tube tops. . . WOW.


I'm pretty sure Analeis wants to beat me up for taking this photo. . .

And I KNOW her daughter, Lyla, wants to slug me too.



Anyhow, some fun pics from a fun night. . .

That looks like a fun party! I definitely agree with you on Kate being best dressed. That's a pretty intense shirt! I hope you are all doing well. :)

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.
