Holy crap, I can’t believe it’s been over TWO months since I’ve posted here! In my defense, I have been extremely busy the past two months with a bit of a project that will take me around 40 weeks to complete:
Yup, there’s a baby growing in there and we are so excited about this! We can’t wait to meet the kiddo. The due date is April 4, but as babies very rarely show up on their due dates I’m not holding him/her to it. 😉
But that’s not the only thing that’s been keeping me busy the last couple of months (although I have to admit it was a BIG reason why)… here are a few more reasons I’ve been absent from blog-land:
We spent a week in Maine:
It rained… a lot.
We traveled to Europe and visited London:
And then Portugal:
When we got back from Europe I went to Rhinebeck and bought some awesome yarn:
We had a day of snow in October! Freaky stuff!
I’ve been knitting:
And I caught the hexipuff craze (making a play mat for the baby):
I’ve been shooting for clients!
Including a wedding this past Saturday. Seriously, doesn’t she look gorgeous?
In general, though, I’ve been missing the blog, and my blog friends, a lot! I am back for good now and will kick this off with a giveaway in my next post. It was my blogiversary on Nov. 12 and I definitely will be doing a giveaway to celebrate! I hope you all haven’t abandoned me (though I won’t blame you if you did!), and I’m looking forward to catching up with you all now. I promise not to disappear again! 🙂
Congratulations! A hexipuff playmat is an excellent idea.
Congratulations! I’m glad you are returning to blog-land, I enjoy reading your blog so much.
I have missed your posts! I rarely comment, but I always read your entries (i am citizenhappy on ravelry).
Congratulations on the baby! That is very exciting.
And, wow, you’ve traveled a lot. I hope you share all the pictures. 🙂
Congrats and good luck with the new addition to your family.
Congratulations on your WIP! I have missed your posts, glad to see you’re back in the land of the blogging. And grats on doing those shoots! Gorgeous photos!
CONGRATULATIONS! My first was a due date baby. 🙂 You look great.

I sent a congrats message on Ravelry. So sad that I missed meeting up with you at Rhinebeck. 🙁
Congratulations! You look great and I hope you’re feeling well. And wow, you’ve been traveling up a storm. Probably a good thing as traveling with a baby will be a whole other experience for you (all that stuff they need)!
Congratulations! So glad you’re back!
Hey!!! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. I have missed you and your awesome pictures…it sounds like you’ve done some terrific traveling! How fun. I love those little hexapuffs. I think I’ll have to succumb as well. I’m sure the baby will love the texture and puffiness of it. Now..don’t go away for so long again… 🙂

Glad to know that exciting things are happening for the two of you..I think that the hex-puffs will make a great baby mat. Do you know yet if it is a boy or a girl? If not this just means that I’ll have to send you something a little neutral if you are waiting for the baby to arrive and be a total surprise. Welcome back, I knew you werer up to sumthing FABULOUS!!!!!

Hooray for the baby! It was great to see you at Rhinebeck. Are you not finding out the sex or not announcing it? Either way is cool. And yes, please post pictures of Portugal and London…it is lovely to see your pictures if you have time.
A very belated Congratulations!! And I’m jealous of all your travels. I hope all the trips went well and you got to enjoy yourselves.

Your photos are so lovely, as always. 😉
