A Sewing Space.

Today I'm taking part in the Studio Spotlight series at The Sewing Loft and Ellison Lane. All week they are spotlighting sewing spaces all over blog land.  And today you get to see into my space. Not that it is anything exciting....it is probably the most boring sewing space in the bunch!  But it's functional and I can leave my stuff out and it won't get snatched which is want I wanted needed with lots of small fingers around this place.   Let me first say that I don't have a dedicated sewing ...

A Baptism Dress.

My only little girlie was baptized a couple of weeks ago.....and it was such a good day. My neighbor and friend Alexia took these pictures of her a week or so before in her white dress.  She thought the whole thing was very exciting because it meant she got to have her own photoshoot with someone other than her mom.  We even put on a little bit of blush and mascara and hurried out one evening to catch the "golden hour" sun and the pictures turned out so beautifully.
