Our Thanksgiving

Our little family was unfortunately forced to stay in Missouri this year so we needed to have our own Thanksgiving. For our centerpiece, I just grabbed an old mason jar, wrapped a burlap ribbon around it and gathered some things from the front yard that looked "festive".

1) Our "centerpiece" // 2) Preparing our pomegranate, dried apricot, raisin and cornbread stuffing

Around The House

1) Late night attitude// 2) Always wearing Daddy's hats// 3) Brushing our OWN teeth!// 4) Little bear!// 5) Snoozing with Momma's shirt// 6) She found the "shred pile"...'nough said// 7) Little bear and Momma

Greater Than Gatsby Free Action Sampler Review

I have a confession. I am a Photoshop action hoarder. Whenever there is a free one, I snatch it up right away! There are very, very few that remain on my computer though. My current favorite is the free action sampler Greater Than Gatsby was generous enough to offer up the other day. They have a little bit of everything and all of those little bits are all perfect. I rarely feel inclined to review anything (what with a baby and all, I'm lucky to have any computer time at all) BUT I just had to put my two cents out there because I truly LOVE this set. I'll start with posting just a basic, starting image and after every new action, I'll post the same photo edited in the default settings for that action.

Beneath The Birch//Around The House

With the promise of a new sewing machine, my head has been churning out new ideas and projects that I would eventually like to add to my little shop. I've been overloading myself with sewing tutorials, diy crafts, poetry and art in general and it has been great!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Give thanks!

Pumpkin Patch 2013

A Change Is Coming...

There's a bite in the air. Cicada chirps are fading. The leaves, once a lush, dark green, are now yellowing at the tips - fall is approaching. The changing season brings jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin-spiced everything, ghosts, black cats, and giving thanks. For our family, the fall also brings a change in our future. In my gut I feel there is a good change coming. It may just be hope and optimism, I'm not sure. It's just something I feel when the wind catches my hair or I hear my daughter's laughter... A change is coming.
