Baby Elijah

My new nephew was born yesterday at 4:15! I was napping during the birth.. Oops. I already love him so much!





He is such a doll<3 and he has no idea how lucky he is to have such a great mommy:) these photos were taken using my instagram app but I can't wait to take more. I bet he didn't know he was born to be my personal model... Ha!

Mini road trip

Yesterday I took a mini road trip to my parents home town with my dad to reupholster a baby carriage I've been dreaming about for photos. We really could have done it here but we both needed an excuse to get out if town and spend a little time together. We had so much fun!


This is just a tiny peek at what we did. More to come! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

valentine fail.

I was a valentine fail this year. good thing I have a pretty boy that doesn't care that I had/have a zombie eye. Heres what happened:

11am- put contact in my right eye

11:01am-put contact in my left eye

11:02am- left eye starts watering profusily

11:04am- rushing running water, eye drops, and fingers in left eye

11:20am-stuck head in bowl full of water and opened eyes

11:25am- stuck towel in left eye

11:30am- called mom crying out of both eyes

12:00pm- saw optometrist to go fishing for contact in left eye

1:00pm- got contact out with major scrapes to the eye, pupil dilated, and neon liquid rushing through eye to help with cuts.

After the horrendous morning i went home and slept and woke up with a crusty red and yellow bulging eyeball. I was the worst valentine ever, but i still got to spend the day with my sweet! and fashioned a pretty nice eye-patch:)



I got a bunch of sweet treats and managed to make patrick a nice dinner:)



Happy (late) Valentines Day!

Snow Day*Collections

Hi there! I wanted to share a couple of personal collections Ive acquired over the years. Turns out I have quite a few:)


Ive recently been very into childrens books. There just so cute! I read them when I feel too grown up and need some simple inspiration. I know that this is a less than impressive collection at the moment but just know that it will be growing... and fast.


Fabric. Its a good thing to have around.


My yarn <3 This isnt all of it but as you can see Im loving gray at the moment.
My mini polaroids! I love them oh so much.


and of course, my camera collection. My most prized of all.
Canon 50D, Minolta, Mini Polaroid, Mini Brownie, HVA Zhong, izone (remember those??) and various lovely lenses. ♥ ♥ ♥

Im going to enjoy some coffee with the lovely shannon today and explore some new local shops!
