Seascape anniversary peace

Julie — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:42:20 +0000

I was thrilled when my friend Paulette asked me if I would paint an ocean scene to coordinate with her bedding in honor of her anniversary. You can’t see it but it has the date she & her husband were married in the bottom right corner. I wanted to go really modern but knowing she has very traditional taste I kept in more of just the impressionism style. Hope you enjoy! This will be my last post for a while, as of yesterday I (for now) have been put on bed-rest so hopefully my sweet little boy won’t arrive too early.

Baby Clanton’s gown & button bum hat & diaper cover

Julie — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 12:56:02 +0000

With plenty of help from my wonderful & most talented Mother I managed to get one of my gowns completed! I love how it turned out, it’s sooo soft! I can’t wait to snuggle my new baby boy in it. The hat & diaper cover are my 3rd attempt at crocheting & turned out a wee bit crooked but I still love it and can’t wait to put him in it for his first pictures with the fabulous Bobbie Brown!!!

my little burst of never ending energy taking a trip back down memory lane in the bouncy gym lol

You are my sunshine

This little ray of sunshine will soon be on it’s way to Chicago (well not this exact one since preggy here forgot to snap a pic but it looks the same just bigger) it is however contained in this adorable owl papered box. Yes, I have a thing for owls! I feel honored to be shipping a piece of my art to a city I’ve always wanted to visit, who knows when I will get to go myself but at least some small piece of me will now reside there!! It is super exciting for me to have my art reaching out past my word of mouth customers I have one more post after this one & it could be a bit before you guys hear anything from me. I have been instructed by my doctor to take it easy as I am showing signs of my second baby boy making an early appearance, we certainly don’t want it to be too early. So the next 10 days to 2 weeks I guess the couch must become my friend but I am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his health and safe delivery.

Crocheted shoes for baby clanton

Julie — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:03:51 +0000

Since I knew this time I was having a boy I have been super stoked to get back into sewing. I did a lot between the age of 10-14 but basically haven’t done anything since other than a pillow or two. Especially since I really like sweet baby boy stuff for when they are young, not only is it hard to find but typically is a price I don’t want to pay. My niece Alaina (8 years old going on 40) comes to stay while her mom works & since she is totally into crocheting I decided to get her to re-teach me the stitches (she also taught me about inertia, this child, wow) she says to me as we are crocheting on the couch “this is so peaceful, it’s cold & rainy, this is so fun AND we are accomplishing something at the same time!” haha anyway, between her & you tube I picked it back up pretty quick. These are the shoes I made for baby boy clanton #2 I made some mistakes & the second one is better than the first but it will be ok. Up next will be some baby gowns, can’t wait!!
