Why I've Been Too Busy to Post

I realize I have neglected my poor blog shamefully of late... but, behold, I have a host of legitimate excuses.

1. Every moment of spare time last week was spent sewing on my 1912 evening gown, which I finished only hours before I wore it to...

2. Our Titanic Ball. Since this year marked the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, we had a Titanic themed ball and everyone came dressed up in 1912 attire, or as close to it as they were able to achieve. It was lovely. And did not leave time for blogging.

3. I had a birthday. I thought the day would play out that I'd have lunch and shopping with Wendy, and then I could come home and probably sew some more. Instead I was surprised by 10 other friends waiting for me in the restaurant (I love you girls!!). It was a lovely birthday. I could now sell my baby clothes on Etsy as "vintage." (And people say 20 isn't old... *winks*)

4. Lily stayed over with us for almost a week after the ball so we could work on her website, and do fun things like antique shopping.

That brings us to today. I'll leave you with one picture I took of the delightful R. family just before we headed to the ball, in their incredible 1912 ensembles. Their amazingness always amazes me. :-)

Come back soon (hopefully soon, I'll do my best...) for some newborn sweetness!

Puppyness

The fluffball continues to be a frequent photography subject... he'll only be a puppy once, after all, so you've got to take the photos while you can. Already since these photos he's had a haircut and looks less puppy-like.

The World is Coming to Life Again

Though I'm not as crazy about nature photography as I used to be, when spring comes I still usually get the urge to go out and capture plants and flowers as they come back to life. Here are a few of my favorites from this past week or two!
