Pumpkin Patch at the Country Mercantile in Pasco Wa

Meet "Fishy"

Claire and I were running errands all day yesterday. We found ourselves at Best Buy because I've been needing a new hard drive for some time now. After we got what I needed, I was feel extra generous. I've been wanting to get Claire a Beta fish for a while now. Petsmart is only two stores down so we headed there and got $20 worth of fish stuff. Now we have a cute little Beta hanging out on our kitchen counter! Lets hope I don't kill it now.....

What? You don't put a band-aid on your face when you fall?

VIDEO: Do you live in a Yellow Submarine?

Claire has started going to a weekly music class five weeks ago with my mother in law. It's easily her favorite part of the week. Every time she comes home singing new songs. Tuesday night, just before bed she was singing me The Beatles, "Yellow Submarine." It was So sweet!

If you're on a mobile viewing device, here is the direct link to the video so that you can watch it.

I must say that my favorite part of my new camera isn't it's decreased noise sensitivity but the ability to take videos with a 50mm or 85mm f/1.8 lens! This video on DLSRs thing is pretty freaking cool! And I got smart this time and uploaded it to Flickr so that it's viewable on cell phones! lol.

A dress from mommy

On Friday, Claire and I found some wonderful goodies that I managed to upcylce into a beautiful dress that very same day! We came home with two old yellow valences, some black fabric with different colored flowers, some BEAUTIFUL antique lace and three yellow buttons! That afternoon, I started on a pretty sun dress with some wide pleated straps. I spent about 5 hours on this babe but I think it was worth it.  The top fabric has a blue appearance both on camera and off. It reminds me a lot of Snow White.

I just love this photo! I spent much of my child hood next to my mom watching her sew. The serger was always my favorite too.
