Holiday Traditions

Every year we decorate butter cookies. It is my late grandmother's recipe. We would sit around and decorate together. How I miss her so.... This is Bella's first year helping out. We had so much fun.

Some of my favorite things...

Ella's cream puff Ivy's Magnolia

The Rowan Pant

For Christmas this year, I am working hard to give all the kids of my best friends clothing from Bellablu. They support my efforts year round, and always inspire me! Here is what I have come up with so far this year...

Vintage : Memories

Here is my late Grandfather's vintage Canon that my mother gave me. Made in the late 70's. I love the "boxy" style of it, so many things I don't know about this camera. You have to toy with so many settings with it, something that I know nothing about in this age of digital, point and shoot cameras. It has a telephoto lens that goes with it, wish it fit my current SLR!

Experimenting

I am currently working on a boy's clothing line for the shop, just a few items. Here is a prototype of the "Tucker Overalls".

Celebrating this holiday season

Our recent trip to the cabin was wonderful. Bella was in good health, something that has never happened before when we have attempted a trip to paradise.

She will be having her adenoids removed this Tuesday, making it a necessity to close my Etsy shop for awhile. It was so hard to make this decision, but we are in much need of a rest. I am not sure what this small surgery intails as far as healing. If any of you know, I would love some advice!

Here are some pics of our adventure. Thank you all for your support of Bella Blue, we will be back soon with more new items, and possibly a boy's clothing line!
