SOOC... straight out of camera. I don't have Photoshop. I use the limited editing tools that came with iPhoto, but today I let the exposure, brightness, shadows, and highlights speak for themselves. I do wish I could say what time each moment was captured... someone, please remind me to set the correct time on my camera. I'd say this was roughly 6:30 am, not long after my mom and I dropped Alex off at his work.

Sunrise Moments
SOOC... straight out of camera. I don't have Photoshop. I use the limited editing tools that came with iPhoto, but today I let the exposure, brightness, shadows, and highlights speak for themselves.

{this moment}
A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Needles and Threads
I love this tea towel. I blanket stitched the selvage, then added the rows of crochet, but the fabric edge kept turning on itself. So! Sew, then I decided to carefully turn the entire tiny edge and sew it in place... teeny little stitches hold it down. As small as the seam is, I think it makes a nice, noticeable difference.
Another thing... I had to take a picture, because I love the print. It's a lovely cranberry shade, and the feathered leaves and button hole dots are charming, and quaint. Now it's on its way to a new home, a small gift for a great person.
Sweet Serenity
Hey. You know what? The expressions are actually "furrowed brow," or "fettered ankles."
But. Come to think of it, some days my brows are fettered.
Ugh... what was my point?
Oh, yes. I was going to bemoan all my shortcomings and stresses, and then I grinned, knowingly. 'Cause what I knowingly know is that I have been having some delightful diversions, and moments of utter abandon. I have been flitting and frolicking, frivolously favoring the fun, and fostering folly. So. To be quite honest (as opposed to honest which is not quite?) Any way... if this morning I was a bit headless, if laundry is creeping down the stairs, if the to-do list is encyclopedically long... maybe, just possibly, it's my own happy fault. tee hee

CowFolks of The Bird House
that Maria designed and
her Tutu made
for the Cowgirl and Cowboy party
that Maria has been planning, and anticipating, for two years!
who came to bounce and play
for Maria's eighth birthday celebration!
our happy, ample, busy,
and bustling Bird House.
when you have The Duke,
Baby Duke with his momma.
they moseyed over, too!
at the chuck wagon.
Wames Wamsen... he's a wansome man.
How long is a pace, anyway?
some of us even flipped!
It was a lively and lovely shindig.
the wee folks are locked out for a spell.
And she is mighty grateful and obligin'.
We love these times, when we can share a day with laughter,
celebrating special occasions, with an extra measure of fun.
