Shooting with Maddox

On dark days, it's too dark to shoot in the house, so I go out on the porch. I have a little helper which is sweet that he wants to be so close to me, it just makes things a little difficult. This way isn't too bad because I can shoot backwards, it just gets really difficult when he blocks all my light! It looks like I set up dinner for him. He's just waiting for the xoxo chocolates.

Oops . . . did I do that

Maddox likes to be part of everything we do. Out of the entire yard, he choose to sit behind my card.

Fabric Flower

Angie taught me how to create these fabric flowers.

Ashley, has also make a ton of these beauties.  She adds clips to the back of them to put in her hair.

Step 1 - Cut 8 3" pieces of fabric
Step 2 - Fold the square in half twice
Step 3 - Fold the triangle in half once more
Step 4 - Fold each side down, like you would an paper airplane
Step 5 - Cut off the tails of the petal
Step 6 - Pull the needle through the petal 
Step 7 - Repeat steps 2-6 for the other 7 petals; keep the folds the same way
Step 8 - Pull the thread tight and tie a knot; cut off the excess string
Step 9 - Add a button to the center of the flower
