Octopus!

Or as Bibby calls it, Opposusses...

Bubble Blowin' Baby

Hey, nice shoes!

Renzo Gracie Academy

Scott recently had he opportunity to take a UFC trip to New Jersey. He attended a Franks Fight Seminar at the Renzo Gracie Academy and was able to photograph the event. This is a nice group shot he took. He was very happy to be taking the pictures and was able to meet Ottavia and Anthony Bourdain (lucky bastard!). Check out the Flickr set here!

Scott Douglas Hemenway Photography

My dear hubby has been taking pics now for just around a year and is really doing an amazing job! This is one he took yesterday of our oldest, Violett, riding her new big wheels that grandma and poppa got for her. She just loves it and I'm sure she will spend most of her time outside on it this summer.
You can see more of his work here, here, here and here!

Addicted to Instagram

I've been using Instagram a whole bunch lately. I really like using it because the pictures don't necessarily have to be crystal clear to end up looking good and I can post them directly to all my social media accounts at the same time. I think I'll need to take a few of Violett because I've got none of her! She spends most of her day at school and is loving it!

First Bee of the Season!

We came across this big guy on our walk to school this afternoon. He obviously just came out of hibernation because he was very slow. What a pretty bee!

Superman Clutch

I've been doing a fair amount of sewing lately and have ventured into zipper territory. I thought it would be much much harder than its turned out to be.

I whipped up this zippered clutch today with the last remnants of the Superman fabric I bought for the pouches. It looks good, but I think it could use some interfacing to give it some decent body structure. Oh well. Live and learn!

Happy Halloween!

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo. It was dark and rainy. They were Candy Corn Faeries, but Violett kept telling everyone she was a kitty fairy.

Found this post...must've been a kid getting into my phone...

Tangled Hat

I just finished making this Rapunzel hat for a friends daughter. Happy birthday, Amina!

My Best Friend Nolan

They got married last weekend apparently. I'm not sure what to make of that!

First Day of School!

It's a life changing moment! That first morning when you have to get up early and get ready to go to school! She's having a blast and loves to strike a pose. First day of kindergarten, September 4, 2012. And for the record...no, I did not cry!

Candy Corn Gnome Hat

I'm planning on making the girls' costumes early this year and they will be candy corn faeries! Here's the first hat and I'll be ordering some tulle in white, orange and yellow soon to make tutus! How exciting!!!

Emma Lee Farms

We have had cousin Ella staying with us over the weekend and had to return her to my sister today. We met at Emma Lee Farms.
It's a great berry farm and they have tons of varieties. We picked Blueberries!! I picked a big bucket and it was only $13!!

Denim Shark 1 & 2

The gutted shark on top was the first attempt. It looked too much like a whale in the nose area so it gets scrapped.
The darker denim shark is attempt #2. It looks better, but still not quite what I'm looking for. Poor thing will most likely be gutted for its ploy-fil stuffing.
I think I just have to tweak the pattern a bit and hopefully third times a charm!

Denim Whales

Cool whales for the girls! They're made from old jeans I found in the bottom drawer. I've got the link to the original site posted on my Facebook page.

This post didn't show up two days ago for some reason and so I'll try again...

Bunny

Here's the bunny I gave to my mom for her birthday. It's super cool and if you care to know where the pattern came from I posted it on my fb page a while back. I think the creator is called wee ones.
I really like the geometric shapes and the different B&W fabrics.

A New Whale and A New App!

So yes, I just posted about the whales, but this post is testing out the new Blogger Mobile App I just downloaded onto my iPhone. Awesome!!!

Edit: am now wondering where that whale post went!?!? Perhaps I've used the wrong email address again...
