Future Fashionista

Posted on April 27, 2011 by BrassyDel

You may be aware that I am not the most innately feminine woman. If you see me looking like a proper lady, it is guaranteed that it is through some personal effort and sheer force of will. Then again, it took quite a bit of cajoling to get my mother to wear pearls with her dress suit on a…

All By Myself! Friday Photo

Posted on April 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

September 2010: I have several photos from this shoot, spanning maybe an hour or so of outdoor play time, which is awesome because it really jogs my memory of the whole thing. For example, I don’t have a photo of it specifically, but I know that before climbing up in that lawn chair all by her tiny little self, Pixie…

The Swimsuit Edition – Photo Friday

Posted on April 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

Blast from the past, looking forward to summer! This was Pixie’s first time “swimming,” and by swimming I really mean “playing in a swimsuit in a plastic tub of water in the backyard”. Regardless, she loved it. This picture kind of kills me now, because she’s pretty much still a baby here. Now she’s my toddler, and becoming a Big…

Before and After, Baby’s Jammies

Posted on April 8, 2011 by BrassyDel

It was clear from how easily Baby Boy got his feet wedged up in my lungs while simultaneously poking my bladder that he was going to be bigger than little Pixie was. I was afraid that he would be too big to ever get to wear my favorite gender-neutral newborn jammies handed down from his big sis, so we took…

Little Chappy

Posted on April 7, 2011 by BrassyDel

When Pixie was born, my water broke before labor got motivated, which meant there wasn’t any question about whether or not we had to go to the hospital. When your water breaks, that’s the sac that’s keeping your little one protected from all of the nasties in the outside world so Baby’s risk of infection if not delivered within 24…

Tank and Matti Go Swimming – Friday Photo

Posted on April 1, 2011 by BrassyDel

It’s almost Summer! I mean, sure, we just officially started Spring, but that’s still closer to Summer than Winter was. One of our favorite dog parks is up in Lafayette because there are usually more conscientious owners (less poorly behaved or aggressive dogs) and they even have a pond. It’s not a huge park, but it’s big enough and fenced…

Sweetheart – Illustrated #Polyvore Set

Posted on March 30, 2011 by BrassyDel

Today’s pic is an illustrated model for a Polyvore fashion set I did up. I first heard about Polyvore through a post by The Pioneer Woman, and it is an addictive little site! I’m no expert fashionista, but it’s still fun to put together outfits. Maybe it’s like paper dolls for grown ups? Except these paper dolls don’t have a…

Early Blooms

Posted on March 28, 2011 by BrassyDel

We’ve had such a mild winter out here in this part of Colorado that the first days of Spring actually feel like Spring. Normally I think of March as being very snowy and I wasn’t expecting my bulbs to start sprouting up until at least April, if not May. Not only have they sprouted, some of the Crocuses are already…
