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 !

who will be the next fabric design star? pick me!

Ranunculus, a desktop and phone wallpaper for todaysmama.com

Ranunculus a repeating pattern which can be printed at Spoonflower fabric.

For my birthday this year, my little ones gave me some ranunculus. They didn't last long, but I immortalized them in a drawing which I then made into downloadable desktop wallpaper for todaysmama which then got made into a repeating design for fabric which was then entered into a fabric design contest on Spoonflower and was subsequently chosen as one of 100 semifinalists from which 8 finalists will get to design a fabric line from which one lucky/talented artist will get to produce a line of fabric for Robert Kaufman fabrics!  Was that the longest, run-on sentence ever?

Let me sum up, my fabric design is in a contest and I need your vote!  See details and vote here! You can vote for as many designs as you like! There are so many beautiful choices, don't just pick mine, pick a bunch! I would love, LOVE, L-O-V-E to design fabric, it would be a dream come true! The tagline for the contest says, "Who will be the next fabric design star?" Um, pick me, pretty please!

Voted! I put ranunculus as one of my favorite flowers on my info sheet for teacher appreciation week. Needless to say, I didn't get any. They are seemingly hard to come by. You're a lucky lady. :)

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.
