Orange inspiration

Ever wonder how people get these photographs???

Photography

I stay soooo busy these days with my publishing, teaching, designing, new baby and just pure craziness that I hardly have anytime for MYSELF!!! When I do get a chance to sit...(usually after 9pm when I'm really delirious and dead tired) I like to search the internet for amazing photos and great inspiration. I love finding designer, art and mommy blogs. It is very relaxing and gets my mind off all the chaos. Every now and AGAIN you will see me post random photos because I love photography. Here are some photos I found on the internet just now that are amazing. It's so amazing that a camera can capture such beauty in nature. They are photos done by a Trey Ratcliff, who has a popular site called Stuckincustoms. Truly amazing HDR work.

GOT WEAVE?
If you have any used extension, wigs or hair pieces laying around reuse them to help clean up the oil spill in the Gulf. Hair collects oil, which is why we shampoo it daily. Matter of Trust and Phil McCrory of OTTIMAT have teamed together to make hair booms.
You can mail in hair, fur, wool and salon clippings swept off the floor to be stuffed in donated nylons, tights and knee highs to make the booms.
To donate your hair or volunteer go to www.Matteroftrust.org and sign up!
It's UnbeWEAVEable...

Look at Nora in my tutu onsie! She was my little model for the tutu onsies I've been making. She is was too cute and adorable but goodness it is hard to get babies to pose for pictures. I'm no photographer and it was hard work. This is the best I could do. Me and her mom Ali tried everything!!! She still ended up cute though...Go NORA! Model in training.

Martha Stewart had people send in their most creative craft rooms and there were some really impressive ones. I spent alot of time oooing and ahhhing at all the pics on the site and getting a little jealous because I've recently had to give up my own craft room :( Oh well, it was for the greater good and one day I'll have another. Take a look at this eco friendly organization room. This lady by the name of HandyBrandy took yogurt cups, cereal boxes, and juice boxes, covered them with scrapbook paper and put them on the wall to use as organizing bins for craft supplies. Pretty crafty and very eco friendly!!! To check out more creative craft rooms and get some ideas of your own go to MarthaStewart.com.

Swiffer Mop Cover

I'm in NESTING mode right now and everything is about cleaning or cleaning products. It's so crazy but I found this cute little tutorial for how to make your own swiffer cover. It is a reuseable and reversible knit cover so you can use one side for a mop and the other side as a floor duster. No more buying and throwing away after you use just one swiffer pad. This one you can just throw in the washer. Very eco friendly, cute and best of all the tutorial is free!!!!! Thumbs up to Linda Permann, the lady behind the design of this adorable crocheted reversible swiffer sock.
