Pretty Little Things

UPDATE: CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. The last counting comment is Courtney’s “a blank canvas~a painted canvas~friends and their creativity”. Winner to be announced.

First, let me say “Yes!” I read all your comments. I love reading them and really enjoyed seeing what posts stood out to each of you. Thanks for sharing that. Secondly, I want to point out that the baby pictures yesterday were of Baby Sister. There seemed to be some confusion on that from more than one person. In fact her daddy called from Haiti and commented that she had “thinned out” while he was gone. The truth is he has my 50mm lens, my 85mm lens was too narrow for the crib, so I used my 28mm lens…it distorts a little.

One of the things I enjoy about having a blog is I have a place to share random pictures that I have fun taking, but won’t necessarily frame on my living room wall. So in honor of that, here are some pretty little things I’ve enjoyed lately….

My daughter is a pretty little thing. Her thighs are pretty…not so much little. She has watched her brothers flip around on the floor too many times. The big thing in the background is a painting I did several years ago, I still like it but can’t figure out what to do with it. It’s a big pretty thing.

Scraps of old sheets people used to sleep on Reclaimed Bed Linens from Whimsie Dots. I want to make a quilt like this.

My sweet friend. She is a pretty little thing…she has a pretty huge heart.

Pink Legos…now life is as it should be in our home. Pink Legos….PINK LEGOS! The boys are loving them, which cracks me up. Baby Sister will thank Grandma one day.

Pretty little watercolors. I advise against sitting your coffee next to the watercolor water. If you accidentally dip your paint brush in your coffee instead of the water you are forced to decide between drinking the contaminated coffee or taking the effort to make another perfect cup. Watercolor paints don’t have lead in them, do they? Guess I’ll find out.

I am making too many pillows these days. They are just so fast and easy and we are kind of fond of pillow fights around here. This one is too pretty for fighting with though.

Count down for Daddy’s return on the chalkboard wall. Sometimes countdowns make it seem longer…

Sweet handmade card from this gorgeous girl.

The local fabric store had a 50% off everything sale. It started at 7:00am, but I couldn’t go since Chris is gone. My mom went with me a few days earlier to see what I liked. She and my aunt started the line outside the store at 6:00am! Thanks mom for my fun new fabric! Paint by number fabric….love it!

Sand that just makes me happy from Daisy Days.
