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 !

we would like to take a minute to thank our sponsors. . .

Who's that sexy trucker you ask? Oh, that's the same old hubby just hairier! Thanks to Hale Centre Theatre who gave him a part in their upcoming Fiddler on the Roof. Yours truly will be playing the butcher, Laser Wolf, in the MWF night performances running from February 16th till mid-April! Get your tickets now, if you like hairy men and old musicals like I do, you won't want to miss it!


Lucy would like to thank Jell-O Pudding Cups. I think she's vying for the Jell-o Pudding spokesperson gig. . . move over Bill Cosby.

And what products am I endorsing this month? First, Clomid! I won't bore you with all the horrid details, but it worked! We're expecting baby #2 in early August. Wahoo! Second, Phenergan , I now feel sick only 20% of the time rather than 95% of the time. Thank you, modern medicine, for helping us get pregnant and then for helping us deal with being pregnant!

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.
