Foto Friday ~ A six-point star made of hands

A rather lopsided star at that, but hey...



It was quite the family affair. :-)

Black and White Wednesday

I've got windows to the left and right of my computer area and I often look out them when I'm waiting for inspiration to strike when I'm working on a story. I turned to the left this evening and saw the most amazing picture...the sun was shining through the little icicles that are hanging off the pine trees. I ran outside, captured the pictures, and then here they are in Black and White. I'm happy to say I finally get to participate in Black and White Wednesday over on The Long Road to China. :-)





P.S. They look super-cool if you enlarge them (click the picture)

Foto Friday (er, Tuesday) - Valentine's Day

Okay, so it's not technically Friday anymore or even Valentine's Day evening more, but HEY...it's never too late for cute American Girl dolls, wouldn't you say?

Bramblewood Fashion Modest Fashion Week - Day 6

Sorry girls, even worse pictures today than yesterday because it's like the Wizard of Oz movie out there... (Auntie Em! Auntie Em!) ...I had such fun *sarcasm* taking these pictures. The wind's blowing every which way, (you practically get taken out by the flags mounted on our porch when you come up the walk. They're whipping around like crazy and they HURT when you get smacked by one!) hence the reason why my hair is also blowing every which way, along with my skirt. I discovered you can also see the wrinkles in said skirt a lot better outside than you can inside. haha :-) So apologies for that all around.
But anyway.
My outfit for today:




Quick, take the picture a'fore I blow away!



Orange plaid blouse - Von Maur
Black shirt - Kohl's
Black skirt - Kohl's
Awesome brown boots (which are not waterproof, therefore not proper for tromping around in post-melted-snow grass) - Wanted
Earrings - Mom's jewelry box :-)

Rather winded, (:-P)

"We Love Colors" - Tights Giveaway

Bramblewood Fashion is hosting a giveaway for a pair of tights from "We Love Colors". I always dislike the fact that little girls get all the brightly colored tights and for the most part, women are stuck with black, grey and white. Sometimes Target will carry more colorful tights, but I've never seen a selection of womens' tights as rainbow as We Love Colors has. :-)

Bramblewood Fashion Modest Fashion Week - Day 5

Had some trouble deciding what to wear today. I had gotten the brown boots yesterday on sale and I wanted to wear them...so I wanted to wear a shorter skirt so you could see them. Plus it's 60 degrees out today...is it weird to wear boots when you could be wearing sandals?
Umm...no. At least not in my case. Hehe :)
Sorry for the rather lousy pictures. The sun wouldn't cooperate with me.






Brown shirt - Landsend maybe?
Camo green tank top - Justice
Green plaid skirt - Kohl's
Boots - Wanted

Bramblewood Fashion: Modest Fashion Week - Day 4

I'm chiming in a bit late here because I completely forgot all about it and therefore didn't take any pictures of my outfits for the first 3 days. But better late than never. :-)
My outfit for today:





Black shirt - Target
Off-white camisole and plaid blouse - Kohl's
Purple skirt and belt - Hancock Fabrics of all places (But no, I didn't make it!)
Black boots - Sears, I think.

Swap

So you saw what I made for the AG Swap, this is what I got. I am so amazed...it's a three piece outift, and it's all sooo well made. I was drooling.

In which I make some money and have some fun

Not neccessarily in that order. :-) Greta Gothard message-d me on Facebook a couple weeks ago and asked if I'd be interested in designing the graphic for a poster they would sell at their shows. Of course I said YES. We finally started work on this past week. It went pretty fast; faster than I thought. I had to work on a lot of details I wasn't used to because of the fact that it was going to be a bigger poster than I'd ever designed before. But it went well. And I finally got Willow's solo shot (bottom left corner, black and white picture) looking good. it was annoying me to no end, but I finally got it to the point I liked it. Greta and I went back and forth over the email a lot, adjusting details, and she was pleased with it...she's taking it to the printer this week to get them printed up in time for their Valentine's day show. I'm very happy! ;-)

Foto Friday -- An interesting rainbow

This didn't turn out as amazing as I THOUGHT it would...but here it is. Food Coloring Splatter Painting on the snow.



This is what it looked like in it's untouched form...before I swirled it all together and scraped the top snow off down to the ice.



My fingers are quite the rainbow too...actually more blue and green than anything.

Valentine's Day Outfit

This is for the swap at American Girl Fans Message Board. This was not my originial idea...but my grand plans got a little TOO grand and it didn't work out so well; so this I made in all of 2 hours.
