Wordless Wednesday--Motherhood

Nope, not me. (Hey, I did a "not me Monday" and "Wordless Wednesday" in the same post!)

I did a maternity photo shoot this weekend for some friends who are expecting their first baby (a boy!) in April. Thought I'd share some of the cute ones...











I am faaaaarrr from a professional photographer, but I had ALOT of fun and I was pretty proud of how the shots turned out. I ended up keeping about 70 of the 160 I took, which I burned onto a CD for them.


And some shots of the tree in my front yard getting ready to bloom...







Its some sort of maple??? We haven't figured it out still--anyone?




And the last ones...Little Man having a catch with googiedaddy. The boy loves him some baseball.


A miss....




And a catch...


I love the look on his face here!

Such a boy.

New Stuff in the Etsy Shop

I finished another baby name sign last week, and put the pics up in my Etsy store.
It was a last minute rush order, but I think it came out really cute!



The sign was done to match the "Sophie" bedding from Pottery Barn Kids.




Believe it or not it's alot harder to match a sign to a simple bedding set--there's just not a whole lot to work with! And Pottery Barn doesn't offer very good online photos for color matching. I still think it came out adorable.

When the customer called another family member to find out the baby's exact name spelling (it was a shower gift), she found out the baby had been born that day! 4 weeks early! But she was over 5 lbs, and both mom and baby were doing well. :-)

And in other Etsy news....

googiedaddy's getting in on the action!

ummm...I mean, he's selling. Stuff. In the Etsy shop. (and I'm soooo not changing the name. ha.)

A few years back he came up with a design for a jewelry box, which he made me for our anniversary. (awwww, he's so cute like that!)

Its a gorgeous original design, and now he's going to start taking custom orders!





This jewelry box is different than anything we've ever seen, ANYWHERE. You have the choice of mixing and matching four different wood types. (I think a maple/black walnut combo would be stunning...maybe another one for googiemomma? Eh, I don't have enough jewels to justify two jewelry boxes!)

There's more photos and info at the Etsy shop you can find if you clickity click -------this way-------->
(shameless plug, this whole post)

So thats it for now! I have three more signs to do this week, and I'll put up pics of them as soon as they're finished!

Instead...

Went to JoAnne's to get Alice In Wonderland-ish fabric.

found these instead:



one half yard of three different colors...

perfect for three little skirts



one to keep, two to give away to friends...
but all three to be modeled first

such a princess!

yeah, right

hey, what was that you saw?

let's look a little closer, shall we?

googiemomma tags! YAY!
