Skyward

August 25th, 2010:
Today is my friend Sarah's 30th birthday. She lives in Michigan while I'm in Chicago, so sadly, I couldn't take her picture today. Instead I took a picture of the sky in the hopes that the coming years bring only the highest and best that this next phase of her life has to offer. I love you, Sarah!

New Country Dress

August 18th, 2010:
I finished a new dress tonight. Not the best photo, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in the end. :)


It's hard to see in this picture, but I did some interwoven color blocking on the bodice. I've never tried this technique before. I'm totally excited that it actually worked out.

Old Friends Resurface!

August 11th, 2010:
This is Julie. I haven't seen Julie in about ten years. She emailed me out of the blue this week and so I invited her to my weekly karaoke outing. It was great to see her and now she lives in the city. Hopefully there will be more catching up to be had! :)

Birthdays, Bowling and Betsy

August 7th, 2010:
My dad turned 60 on this day. Yay Dad! I couldn't be with him to take his picture so I've posted one I took of him almost a year ago. This is one of my favorites of him.
