30 Days of ______________?

My “30 Days of the Everyday” project is coming to an end. Just 6 more days to go. And now I am wondering what photographic adventure to take next. Perhaps, 30 Days of: … Close-ups. … the Handmade. … the People in our Lives. … Home. … the Outdoors. … My Neighborhood. … Strangers. (see […]

Tees for Toddlers, Teens and InBetweens.

I have posted some *freshly* made tees on Etsy: I am very excited about them. I just adore the way they came out – as does Isaac. He thinks the figure on the teal tee is him 🙂 The red ones didn’t photograph well – but in all truth, I find them the most beautiful. […]
