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 !

can you dance?

Emmie and I stayed home sick from church one day and I thought I'd catch her on video without her big sis around. This is one of those sweet everyday moments you just want to hold on to forever. . . and then I had to say something. I didn't know I'd ruined the video until I watched it weeks later when I downloaded it. I ruined the video and ruined the moment with my creepy voice. Just watch.

Not a creepy voice at all. A voice that totally gives her something to think about. Isn't it funny to see their progression of recognizing themselves in the mirror. I always test my little niece.

haha, I can so relate to this...I hate hearing myself on the videos I take of the kids! The worst is when I'm quiet the whole time until the very end...and then it's even creepier!

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.
