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 !

twinners

The girls have been trying to match lately. . . Wait, correction, Lucy has been trying to match Emmie lately. She'll wait until I get Emmie dressed and then she'll go try to find the closest matches in her closet. Then I have to give her a matching hairstyle. Luckily she hasn't asked for a binkie and a blankie to match.

I caved in to the whole idea and have bought a few matching things for them. I realized that this will be the last time it's really even possible to buy matching outfits because even though Lu is almost too big for 5T stuff, she is in the same grouping as Emmie's 2T. So why not?

One good thing is it motivates Lucy to get dressed by herself and it generally meets parental approval since we put the smaller version together in the first place for Emmie! Win, win. Except it kind of feels like we're on parade when we go out. . .

What do you think, are matching outfits cute or obnox?

Cute. Totally Cute. I think you can get away with this until fifth grade. Or at least I hope you can because that's how long I did it. :)

Definitely cute sometimes but not all the time. Can I also say that I really think it's cute when twins match but something has to be different because friends can't tell them apart.

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.
