E I E I O

I saw this cute farm fabric and just had to buy it! Whenever I look at it I want to sing "Oh McDonald"! I used the Marike pattern and coordinating fabric for the ruffle hem. This set is currently listed on ebay. Click on the ebay button to see :)

The Sweetheart Dress

My new book is now listed at You Can Make This! The Sweetheart dress has a "sweetheart" bodice and shirred back for fit and comfort. If you don't know what an eBook is..... it's a PDF file that you download to your computer. In the file, I've included step by step instructions plus color photos to help you construct this dress. This ebook pattern is perfect for beginner or seasoned seamstress. Click on the photo to purchase :)

Adagio Bleu Studios: Sis Boom Celebration

It has been fun meeting new people and working on a launch together with all these great guests! We all used Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom line and it was a blast to see the different creations that the designers came up with. Be sure to search ABSD sisboom on ebay for all the wonderful listings!

Walking Down The Tracks

You may think this is an artistic shot (or maybe not), but really it's just Samantha being a diva and not wanting to pose for me. She is such a DIVA sometimes! What kind of monster have I created???

Here Fishy Fishy Fishy...

I can't believe I got my hands on these fun and adorable Heather Ross' Lightenbugs Fabrics!! They are so soft and light and just perfect for making sundresses!! I have another one coming in next month so I can't wait to make something it too!! Click on the ebay button to go to the actual listing!

Artwork by Samantha

My kids love to draw all the time, but they refuse to use a note pad or put it away! Instead of throwing away their wonderful artwork, I've decided to scan them and save them digitally!

SO without further ado, I present "Mommy" by Samantha Cannon

Doing The Happy Dance!!

I got my Canon Rebel XT wednesday and have been practicing with it EVERYDAY!
It is SO fun to play with the settings and the lenses. I have SO much to learn, it's not even funny. I got the bundle with the body, kit lens, spare battery, camera bag and memory card from Adorama.com for $508 with free shipping. Which is the best deal I've seen since I've been shopping around for months! I also got an used 50mm 1.8 lens from a fellow ILPer (ilovephotograph.com). Here is my favorite shot so far! Enjoy :)
