so,

here's that baby picture i was talking about from my last post. the one with the socks on the ears and pants on his head? tee he he. everyone says he will hate me one day for this picture.



oh well, at least at that time i will still be able to laugh at the picture! and you also get a bonus picture today:



that's the hat my mom made for him last winter! it's so adorable. too bad it's too small for him already. that, and it's summer here now. that kinda puts a damper on the hat wearing until november - maybe december.

i bought some new supplies this week. there's this neat blog that i read all the time for inspiration. she does great work. well. come to find out she has started selling supplies too! visit her shop at AdobeSupplies and tell her brandi sentcha. she's on vacation right now though, so if you do order anything - be patient!

that's about it. i got the supplies from her 2 days after i ordered them. talk about fast shipping! also, i ordered some lampwork beads. they're like tiny sculptures...but i probably won't be selling any jewelry with them...i'm stingy. and they're awesome. see:




that's about it for now. maybe i'll post some pictures of stuff i actually made soon. i did make a pair of earrings...

and we have company flying in thursday until monday so you may not hear from me for a while...don't be suprised! have a great week, and if i don't talk to you before then - Happy Mother's Day!

The slightly shocked look on his face was a perfect match to the "head gear," it made me laugh out loud.

Those lamp work beads are amazing.

Do you use photoshop to black out backgrounds? An allium is blooming in my garden and I want a black background for the photo.

(I didn't pay retail for that sequined bag. I didn't recognize the maker so I googled it and found out it was a handmade bridal bag that cost $150! I bought her an over-the-top princess outfit a few months ago and she wears it a lot - even over her sleeper, so she'll love the bag; even while rock climbing.)

depends on the photo i guess - your photoshop question. if you can get a photo with some 'dark stuff' in the background then you can usually darken it out using the 'burn' tool. you just have to be careful. if you get a picture of it with 'dark stuff' in the background, send it my way - i'll play with it.

failing that - have a kid hold up black paper about 2 feet behind it when you take the picture (on an overcast day of course) and that will help. then you can make the black 'blacker' in photoshop :)
