Madelyn is Here!

 

 

After 9 months of excitedly waiting, planning, dreaming I’m pleased to introduce Madelyn Ansley Jeffords.  She was born on February 11^th, 2011 (what a cool birth date!) and is the sweetest new born on earth… 

The delivery when very, very well (I won’t go into all the lovely details as this is not a medical blog, and most people interesting in creative things have weak stomachs…)  But, it was beautiful and miraculous (I say that NOW!)  

Annalisa is such a great big sister.  We were a little concerned at first, but she loves “her baby” like crazy now.  I’m excited…  they’re going to have so much fun together!

I’m posting a lot of photos with this post.  Sorry.  I couldn’t thin my selection down at all.  They’re all so precious!  

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go snuggle my little bundle some more...

The Kendall Family Photoshoot

This family came from all over the world this Christmas, and what better way to celebrate that than with a photo shoot!  I had such a great time photographing these families individually and all together. 

I hope some sweet memories were made!

It's almost time!!

I tend to not be able to sit still to long without doing something...  fold laundry, work on some sort of craft, paint... lately, it's been sewing!  Now, you must understand, this is very rare for me.  I'm not the most skilled seamstress... I spend a lot of time with my seam ripper, trying to get it just right.  But every now and then (apparently, most often when there is a baby on the way!) I get the fabric itch.  I made Annalisa (my first daughter) a blanket before she was born out of fuzzy yellow fabric and satin, and she has grown so attached to it.  I wanted to make another one for Madelyn (due in 8 days!)  So, I've been hard at work creating her blanket and a bumper pad (shown above still in progress).    Yes, I will take out the needle!!!  It's just there for stability at the moment.

I'll post photos of the finished collection when I get it all complete.

Madelyn Ansley Jeffords will be here soon!!!

 I thought it would be fun to create a fashion statement for our couch too...  This was so easy and so much fun to make that I think, maybe, our bed needs one too!  We'll see...
