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 !

is it too late to post easter pics?

Easter was only last week. . . I'm only one week behind in this post. I'm not too late, right? This one is right on the way out the door going to church.
Running around Great Grandma Gwen's courtyard right before Easter dinner. . .
A funny faces pic with all the second cousins, oh, and me because Emmie wouldn't be part of the picture without me.
 Dying Easter eggs a couple days before. . . Notice how many colors Lu gets to work with. . .
and how Emmie just gets to use one color. . . orange. Why? Take a closer look at those hands. Can you blame me? Orange fingers are much more acceptable than green and blue and purple fingers.


These last couple pics are from today. So I'm not too far behind on those, right? This is after church which is even more stressful for photo shoots because Emmie is D. O. N. E. Done. When did she get so willful?

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.
