A Little Bit of This A Little Bit of That

As I was scanning through my photos deciding which one would dictate the direction of my blog post I was inspired! I inspired myself oddly enough, my photo album looked like a Pinterest board. There were photographs of food, crafts, sew projects, outdoor activities, photo sessions and so on. I couldn't pick just one so I decided to mish mash(yes spellcheck I know thats not a word) a post together. Here it is, if anyone would like a tutorial or recipe to delve deeper let me know, I'm happy to oblige.

Took in dress, shortened and added details, fit for a princess...

Crustless breakfast quiche, my triangle of meatless quiche....so good!

This picture is awful but this meal divine, recipe will follow because its too good not to share!

A collage I am proud to re-post ;-)

Turquoise toes and a needle felted floor pillow made by yours truly, I'm stoked about the outcome of the felted top but the sewing is lacking. Sewing lessons are on the to do list.

Mixed Media Art

I've collaged as long as I can remember, but I've always had a hard time sharing it with the world around me. Collage and mixed media often feels like cheating or stealing, taking bits and pieces of other people's work and pasting them to yours. Recently however I have come to terms with this and see it more as collective sharing, a bit of me meets a piece of you. It is actually quite beautiful. Happy cutting and pasting people...

TIME!
Whoever has some please share...

Our bundle of sweet joy was born three MOoNs ago on the seventeenth of August, 2012. She is growing before my eyes, literally, I can never put her down dost she protest! I know this time is fleeting so I try not to mind that my shoulders ache, I get kicked all night, I am a personal milk maid and there is never time to take a shower. Ember Quinn our sweet baby, and sweet is an understatement, as long as mommy is holding her or in the same room that is. I am a big believer in letting the child teach you how to mother them( to a point of course), and I am pleased to listen. My two youngest have been so different in their infancy, one thing that remains the same is my utter amazement in their perfection and the knowledge that LoVe is infinite as is our hearts ability to hold it. This child oozes a kindness and a goodness, I am honored she chose me as her mother...

Pregnancy Photos

Ember Quinn
and her Mama...


I am so very ready to meet our little girl, only about two weeks to go!  I am finally settling into the waiting game now that my pre-baby checklist has reached a near completion...deep sigh. I look forward to posting pictures of the completed nursery but until that happens I hope you enjoy my pregnancy pictures taken last week.  I was lucky enough to be able to ask an extended family member to take the pic's and not pay an arm and a leg, she is only fifteen years old and has some great ideas and mad photography skills! Thanks again Sabrina I am beyond pleased with the results, you have a bright artistic future ahead of you. We got most of the ideas from the internet mostly pinterest and some were impromptu decisions made on location or the creativity of Sabrina. Please feel free to pin the ideas and poses from this shoot to re-create of you and your bump!  I do however ask you please link back to me if using any of my personal photos or content for your own blog I like to know where my photos are posted. Thanks! 

Dylan, Ember and Rowan our three little ladies...

This was my favorite re-create from a pin I saw!

Sabrina brought the telephone props, so cute!

Rowan loves her sissy!

The whole family

The resolution in some of these posted a bit funny, seeing as how I am not very computer savvy I am 
leaving it be. Sorry. Hope you enjoyed, we had allot of fun!

Lack of Engagement

I sit here today very frustrated at my sheer lack of engagement with humanity...have I retreated do to this endless pregnancy with its ups and many downs? Or is it something else? I feel so un inspired, not only with this blog as I have obviously not posted in weeks but in almost every area of my life. My body aches, my head hurts I am medicating not only gestational diabetes but high blood pressure...whats next?  I dont usually feel this pessimistic but today I do, I want to feel inspired by life and by those around me.  But as usual it feels as I retreat the people in my life do the same so it seems at times like there is no safety net no point of light to dimly follow no North...I have a propensity to always make it known when I feel any shadows, down moods etc.. that life is not actually the reality in which I feel when down. My life is beautiful and I am so very blessed.  I always feel I risk offending or seeming ungrateful maybe it is the Libra in me, the people pleaser either way it gets sort of annoying to not just complain without adding in the "but"... Yet there always is a light to the other side of the dark and I know I will get there again.  I'm feeling better already after writing this, so thank you for those who took the time to read this.  Hope your day,week, month, life is filled with more ups then it is with downs...


Peace and Love,

Let there be LIGHT!
