Secret Holiday

Cutest thing I have ever seen:

 

It's just too much! Ah!

Blah blog world.

I just considered getting rid of my blog. Yup. I'm never good at coming here and posting enough. Even when I say I'm going to be better about it. And it just feels silly to say that over and over again... instead of being a fun thing to do, blogging becomes this thing that I should do; a constant on my To Do list that never gets crossed off because I never make time for it.

Instead I spend spare moments (when I should be sewing) learning how to use a new blog space, like Tumblr (check it out if you want). And I get ahead of myself thinking, "yeah, I'll just delete my blog and use this, and only upload photos because it looks nice and tumblr encourages all pictures and no text." Justin immediately told me it would be silly to delete my blog. He didn't even consider it! He's probably right, even though he's had a blog for years and NEVER uses it. Blah.

Sorry if you're actually interested in following me here, and I never come around to say anything new. It's hard keeping up appearances. I'm always absent from this space when I'm overwhelmed with life and can't find some happy cheery thing to go on and on about. But, you know, then I sit down (now) to write just a quick tiny sentence, and it turns into this whole long rambling thing. 

Well, I will not delete my blog. I will continue to come here and post every now and again, but please don't expect too much. I am officially taking the pressure off of myself to be a great blogger. It's just not gonna happen.

On another note, I've been shooting lots of film lately. With everything blooming, and lots of outdoor time, how can I not? I'll probably (maybe) just come here to upload current favorite photos I've shot. Also, remember to check out By Mountain & Sea, a blog that I actually post on Every Single Week. But that's fairly easy, seeing as it's all photos and only one of them is mine. 

Hope you're all doing well - anyone out there who is still checking in on this space. I've locked myself in my studio tonight in an attempt to finish custom orders AND prepare for Renegade. I'm so unprepared. But then, that's nothing new. Come visit me in two weeks?

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there, especially to my sisters and, of course, most especially to my own Mom:

I don't know where I would be, who I would be, without you. I love you Mum! More than words can say.

Another baby nephew!

My little sister Sarah gave birth to her first baby on Friday - - a beautiful little boy named Grayson Lee. He's perfect! Congratulations Sarah and Jason on your new little family!

Overkill.

I've been stitching up lots of these banners as of late. They kind of lose their calming sentiment when hung all together, huh?
