30 Photos Project

My "make something everyday" motto hasn't been going that well. So I thought I'd try a smaller scale project. I stumbled upon this 30 Day Photo Challenge on Pinterest. The challenge is to take a picture everyday in the month of June. There is a list with what your picture should be of for each day. It should be fun!

Tomorrow i'll start with my Self Portrait and share it here. Until then happy Tuesday!

Day 42: Berry Sweet

Everyone seems to be having babies these days. My sister is one of them. She is pregnant with her third (another little girl) and I am throwing her a shower.I have big plans to make a lot of food, sew up some cute decorations, and to design the invites! So far the invites are the only thing I have finished.

I went with a strawberry and gingham design. What do you think? Are you getting a summer vibe?


I can't wait to get these babies printed! Look for a post covering the whole party in August. I will have lots to share!

Day 41: Percy the Sailor Seahorse

Recently I received an order in my etsy store for three of my seahorse tea towels. Usually these guys are pink with blue hats, but per request I made them in teal with coral hats. I have to say I love the color combo! Here is a quick picture I took before I mailed them out.

I haven't embroidered anything in quite a while. It felt good to get out the old hoop and floss and get to work. Perhaps I'll try to make time for it more often.

Day 36: Photo Love

Earlier this month I tagged along with my former boss, Marissa, to help her photograph a wedding! The bride and groom, Christine and Greg, were also former co-workers, so it lead to a very memorable evening. It was great being able to witness such a sweet and personalized ceremony. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to help capture their special day.


This was my first time shooting professionally. I was super nervous, but working with Marissa was great. She was very helpful and easy to work with. My main goals that day were to help her get shots at different angles, learn as much as I could about the process, and to see if I enjoyed the whole idea of shooting a wedding. I have to say I loved it!

Day 40: Succulent Terrariums

I finally got a chance to make my terrariums today! My original plan was to have at least two plants in the larger container, but they didn't fit.  I might pick up a few nick knacks, like small plastic animals or something to add a little more interest, but I'm kinda of liking the simplicity of these right now.

Day 38: Sunset Photos

The weather was lovely yesterday. The boyfriend and I hung out on the porch and just enjoyed the sunset and the nice cool breeze. We have been letting Kitty outside with us lately which has been pretty entertaining. She is strictly an indoor cat so she gets really curious. The wind was really freaking her out. I don't think she understood what was happening when her fur was getting blown all around.

Since the light was so pretty I decided to bring out my camera and snap a few shots of the boyfriend and the cat. Here are a few of my favorites.
