Baby Blue… like the Colorado Skies…

Blue & Creme tie front jumper

One of my cousins, after years of not hearing from them, has joined facebook and found me – much to my delight. The brilliant thing about this is that we have finally reconnected a bit, and I’m able to see some of the bigger events in life. One of the recent bigger events was that his lovely girlfriend, K was pregnant with their third child. Being an avid crocheter, I had to make sure to send the new baby a gift. I dug into my “completed objects” of Ziploc bags and found a lovely baby sweater that made from debbie bliss yarn in creme and blue.

I recall that this was one of my attempts to modify a lovely newborn dress pattern into a sweater, and it took many tries before I was happy with how it turned out. I think I was saving it because it was such an accomplishment for me to make it. Now, however, is the right time to give it away. As I packed it up, I hoped that the baby would fit the jumper – (something one can never predict) and sent it on its way.

Yesterday, I got the brilliant news that it fits the wee babe beautifully, and the most adorable picture. I am so happy to get them because I rarely get to see what I’ve made “in action” as it were.

Oh! Am I supposed to model this sweater?

Well, I give it two “fists up”. 🙂

Congratulations to C&K on the birth of their third child, and such a beautiful little family! I look forward to hearing and seeing more every day – instead of chatting only over Christmas dinner.

Evening Fog

St. Andreas Church

The damp is coming.
Crisp breezes have begun.
Leaves scuttle at your feet,
and Twilights linger longer
Like the taste of a kiss on your tongue.

Warmth becons
yellow and glowing
from street lamps and windows
asking to be photographed.
Autumn’s Seduction.

Last week, the first signs of autumn started really appearing. The twilights turned the most lovely lingering purple, the leaves are “popping” into bloom and the fog has descended. I’m not sure which is more fun – the knowledge that I have a new tripod, or the fact that I got off early and managed to get some beautiful foggy evening photography around tiny Teltow.

New Blog, Broken Links…

Well, here I am.  I’ve finally broken down and gotten a new website especially so I can try to get something set up to sell some of my artwork, photography and designs.  It’s been a long time coming, and I’m afraid that this is still a work in progress.  As a part of this, I’ve moved my blog off of the old My Space site and to my own personal site.

The problem?

As it imported, most of the photo links to my Flickr site appear to have broken.  They do, however still display (weird eh?).

So, I’ve tried to go through and update the actual links themselves to the flickr sets where available.  (Browse away – and remember – if you see something you like, check my store to purchase prints!)

Otherwise, if you hit some broken photo links from the old entries – I do apologize and hope to not have that problem going forward.

~ All the Best
