flock of birds...

i have been home sweet home!  no better feeling.  i was a bit depressed about getting back to a small town again, but it is all gone now.  i know we lack a lot of things here, such as cultural diversity, but we also have so much!  i have made time to a lot of friends and still many more to see.  wow it seems like i was gone for a year and not 9 weeks.  the house is still standing, kennedy is so grown up and pretty i can't even tell you, even the dog looks great.  papa managed life just fine.  of course my mother-in-law was here to help for most of the time, but still, what a great man i have!  i have been working on some small little projects.  first to show are my new flock of birds.  these will be used in a photo session i have next week.  i will photograph a sweet newborn baby girl and i have some ideas for the little birds.  anyway, i have been busy already with photography sessions and trying to get my life back in order.  my last semester is about to begin and lots of things to do between now and then.  i know i have been oh so boring and taking so long to post, but i'm going to try to do a better job.  i'm thinking of something to give and it will be on a whim, so if i where you, i would leave a comment because you never know how i will decide who wins.  just a heads up!

bird pattern from spool sewing here.  super easy to make!

I have missed your blog this summer! Your posts are just lovely and I can't get enough of your gorgeous photography. You are a wonderfully courageous mom for taking off for 9 weeks to follow your career passions. It is inspirational to see fellow moms following their passions in every arena of life:) Enjoy being home with your loves!

You know I am a huge fan of all of your work, your sewing projects and your photography. I just love these birdies and love that you posted where to find the pattern. I took your advice and am in the middle of my first sewing class - making a tote. that is their most basic class. I can't wait to make little dresses for Chessa.
