lights, camera, ACTION!

i asked my nieces if they'd model some bloomers with wren today, and they agreed, so we had a mini photo shoot. 3 beautiful girls, gorgeous almond trees, & some sassy bloomers.

it was a fun day. the sun was shining but it was still a little chilly out... blossoms were falling off the trees, lincoln was eating dirt clods & wren wanted nothing to do with our modeling (or shooting). awesome, thanks wren. ethan & james directed the photo shoot (and chased lincoln, and wren, and had a few sword fights with branches), while i ran around making sure bloomers were looking just right on each girl. i'm sure from the outside it looked like a photo-op fail. but i think it was pretty fabulous. and after all the running & jumping & laughing, we got donuts. delicious, greasy, glazed donuts.

 we got a total of 3 photos with all 3 girls. not ideal. but at least it's cute.

 little rascal would not stand still. she'd walk as fast as her little legs would take her.

winter?

has it left for good? if you say yes, i may just cry. i am NOT ready for spring, because spring lasts about 3 minutes and then it's the dreaded S U M M E R . however, because the weather really has been so beautiful, i've been INSPIRED. lots of fun colors. lots of fun fabrics.
raspberry
lilac
lavender
aqua
teal
celery
cream
white
dove gray
these are the best colors ever. and that's our spring 2012 collection.

BOOM!

holler-back girl

is anyone reading this dusty old blog anymore? like, seriously. because i know i personally, used to read TONS of blogs. i LOVED it. come to think of it, i'm actually not sure how i read so many blogs back then. {oh wait, i didn't have kids}. when i stopped reading blogs, i stopped BLOGGING. it's a world i haven't been a part of for a loooooong time. and i used to have some good ole faithful readers here, back when it was rae events. but now i find myself wondering if i am typing to myself. {THAT'S always fun. although, i'm not gonna lie, i'm an external processor, so even if this is just to myself, it's therapy. and it's free.}

i'm realizing now, that after billions of days have gone by none-blogging, i may have lost all the (what, 30?) readers that i once had. i also realize that i don't have the time (nor the energy) i once had to read 50 blogs a day, and comment, and all that goes with that, in order to GAIN readers. and if I don't have the time, lord knows you don't either. {although i'm not really sure who "you" is at this moment.....} the point is, if i had a giveaway would there be any readers to enter said giveaway? because if i won a giveaway that i hosted, it may be a little strange.

if you are alive. and breathing. and happen to read this. you can give me a holler-back. and maybe i'll host a giveaway. if not, i'll just keep talking to myself.

{all photos are random. and basically because i like them}

snow? winter?

 is it just me or has it JUST started to feel like winter? i LOVE it. and i'm not gonna lie. there is a slight fear in me that our winter is going to last for all but a week and i'll be stuck with my 37 scarves having only worn 3. plllllease winter, last until june. 

so, while it's been a LITTLE cold, i've been sitting by the fire, crafting up some more wintery bloomers (while my kids throw gold fish & cheerios at me). check out the shoppe to see what's available!
