still here…

Posted on by

I just wanted to pop in to my blog to say that I am still around :) Things have gotten crazy busy around here (about the exact opposite of how I thought the end of summer would be), but it is good crazy busy. I have a really big photo shoot coming up that I have been busy preparing for and am excited about. So I haven’t found much time for sewing or crafting, it has all been photography around here lately. I will probably have a few crafting things in the next couple weeks, so I might pop back in a few times but I think things might be a bit quiet around here the next couple weeks until after I am done with this photo shoot… I hope everyone is having a good start to the fall though and I look forward to being back to blogging very soon! :)

(And since I don’t have any crafting to show, I thought I might share a few more of my favorites from the senior session I did about a month ago now…)

I already posted this one below in color, but I really like it in black & white too…

Ginger Blossoms Quilt

A little something from my w.i.p. pile…

These will eventually be made into a quilt, although I have yet to decide what size quilt or what I will do with it. I actually made 3 more blocks today that I didn’t photograph, so even though a few of these have been sitting finished on my w.i.p. pile for awhile now I am making a little bit of progress on it. I just need some cold rainy days (or not) to make me want to stay inside and finish it up.

Photo Wall

Posted on by

I meant to blog about this project way back in the beginning of July when I actually finished it, but totally forgot and then things just got busy (and our living room got messy and so I didn’t want to take a picture until it was nice and clean). So now the living room is clean, things are a little less crazy, and I finally remembered I never posted this. :)

It took me forever to decide how to arrange our living room furniture when we moved in and then when I finally decided I had this nice big empty wall/walkway a couple feet behind the couch (there is a door to the left of those photos that goes out to our patio so there sort of has to be a walkway there) that was perfect for a gallery display of photos. I didn’t actually come up with the idea for this photo wall, I saw it on Tara’s blog and she actually got the idea from Erin’s blog… It was just perfect though for the space we have and it is so much fun to have my own photos on our wall instead of some art from Ikea or something! :)

Details: The frames are 19 3/4 x 19 3/4 Ikea clips frames. I added the white borders in photoshop and then had the photos printed through a pro lab. (I actually had one photo printed with borders & without and decided I really liked the borders so when I ordered the rest I included borders.)

I hope everyone has a good weekend! I have really enjoyed posting these last 3 days in a row, so I will be back on Monday for sure to post some more! :)
