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 !

week 1: lots of cuddle time



This is when Lucy and Gramma Leen came to see us in the hospital that first day. . . can you tell somebody likes her little sis?

One of these kids is watching Scooby Doo. . .

The best part of having to slow down and convalesce a little bit. . .


Emily May and her Great Grandmother, Gwendolyn May

Emmie watching her daddy watching crime dramas. . .

It's no wonder at dinner the other night, Lucy looked out the front window and said, "That cloud looks like a daddy holding his baby. . ."

We're loving cuddle time.

Jul!! I am so happy for you. Baby Emily is beautiful and I hope you are relaxing. Much love XOXOXO
Congrats Juliann! So excited for you! She is beautiful. My little one is 6 weeks old now, and we are absolutely loving every moment. Every little snuggle and cuddle, he must get kissed 100 times a day at least. So happy for you!
