Missed Day (November 23)

Another missed day...sheesh this is hard! Today I was very tired (after going to Black Friday in Plattsburgh). I fell asleep on the couch at 9 and slept for 12 hours!

You have to look closely at the tree to see that it's personalized

I finished working on the projects for my far-away friend. Since it was a beautiful day we decided to head out to the deck to get some shots outdoors and take advantage of the beautiful autumn weather.

Why you should pre-wash fabric (November 14)

This is why you should pre-wash burlap fabric
I spent hours ripping out the stitches 

Missed day (November 13)

The challenge is a photo a day for a year...and I already missed a day. I could cheat and put a photo in this place, but I think I'll leave it blank...it was a busy day. We had play group, lunch with friends and then a lawyer's meeting about the adoption. The day got away from me.

Pit stop in Venice ( November 11)

Sunset in Venise en Quebec

On the drive home from Vermont, we stopped 

in Venise en Quebec. The sunset was spectacular! 

I especially loved the black of the trees against the sunset

happy anniversary to us (November 10)

My Love 

Me

My Love and I took advantage of our anniversary weekend. We've had Nicolas for 14 months now and so we decided to go away for the first time since last September. We had a nice time in Burlington. We did a lot of shopping then headed to Sweetwaters for dinner. Sweetwaters makes a mean Long Island Iced Tea...it was a good thing that our hotel was in walking distance of the restaurant. 

We determined that we need to do this more often

The Red Mitten (November 5)

On the cusp of our 13th anniversary, 

we bought a new camera and 

our challenge to ourselves is one photo a day for a year. 

Today we had our first snow of the year, 

Nicolas, you were so excited! 

You asked Gram-Gram to put some snow 

in your hand so that you could show it to Mama!
