Day 6: Someone You Love

Of course my daughter and hubby are also on top of the "people I love" list. I just get a lot more opportunities to photograph Parker, since we are together all day.

I was bored as we drove to my parents house for Thanksgiving so I started taking pictures.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Three

Ahh! I missed a few days, I was trying so hard to not miss any days this challenge.

Day 3: Creativity

I consider myself a pretty creative person. I've always loved making clothes for my kids. This is a picture of a recent outfit I made for my son.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Two

Day 2: Where we sleep

We are currently co-sleeping with Parker. We originally had Parker sleeping in the bassinet that came with the pack n' play, but he outgrew that and we had to find other options for him. Our bed is a queen bed, but Parker rolls all over in his sleep and I was never getting any sleep. So we took off one side of the crib, which is what you do when it's used as the day bed. We put the mattress back up to it's highest setting and it went perfectly flush against our mattress.

We recently purchased the changing table at a consignment shop. We paid a whole .25 cents after the trade we received from selling all the clothes that didn't fit Parker anymore. We were using his dresser as the changing table. We'd just put the pad on top and change him, but as Parker got bigger it didn't work as well. The pad moved around too much on the dresser.

Oh, and yes we need more pictures on the far wall...I never realized how bare it looked until I took this picture.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Documenting the Details

Day 1-My workspace

My sewing has taken up a portion of the kitchen/dining area. My workspace started in our bedroom, after Parker was born we made a few changes and put the sewing area in his room. That didn't work out too well, so it we moved it out to the main room. We don't use the table for eating since you can only sit on one side of the table as there is no room to pull out the other chairs.

The table, shown in the background, is the best part of my workspace. It is very heavy and sturdy. The table I was using for sewing on originally, was wobbly and that does not work with sewing/embroidering. When I would serge, the table would bounce all over the place and cause the threads to "jump" off their designated paths. Unfortunately, this table only fits in this spot in our condo.

I have a love/hate relationship with this table. When we bought the table they had already put it together. That was great because I wasn't looking forward to assembling it. We were loading up the chairs when the seat of one of the chairs came loose and smashed my foot. It was very very painful, a trip to the ER to make sure nothing in my foot was broken and a few weeks later I lost my toenail. My husband noticed that when they had put the chair together they skipped putting in some of the screws to expedite the process.
