Ma petite fille Ivy

It's so cold. Freezing even. I simply do not cope with anything other than warm sunny days where I can roam around in sunfrocks and flip flops..Winter makes me miserable. Even I thought I looked ridiculous last night as I headed to bed in 2 singlets, 2 woolen jumpers, trackpants, wooly socks and even woolier scarfe. I could barely move all night for the ten layers of blankets. I knew I was cold when I even took the fan off high. (You might recall my must-have-the-fan-on-high-no-matter-what quirk.)

It seems it is possible to brave the cold in something much more chic though - Ivy went out shopping with her Daddy and got to try out her new beret and knee socks (Janie and Jack) from Sweet Ms Krysta.



It's been a slightly exhausting week - one of those where you just put one foot after another, with sniffly nose and an endless to-do list, and hope it all works out in the end. The fact that it's now August does not help - Ava's birthday looms and clouds my thoughts, making the days just a little more difficult than usual.

On a happy note, Kate bought me a pinhole camera which makes me smile every time I see it - I can't wait to play with some film, it's been forever. Here's us girls hamming it up in the photo-booth last week.

I also, thanks to Krysta once again (that girl knows how to shop), have developed a Juicy charm fixation. Seriously, these things are SO cute..I can't stop Googling and my list of must haves is growing by the day...

I was very restrained though, here is what I have so far..


Ballet shoes for Ava..

and this mirror 'cause it's sweet. I have a thing for pretty mirrors.

I have no doubt that less here but I can't resist them - I've seen a bluebird and I'm doomed.

I'll be back with client photos tomorrow - I've had some lovely shoots lately.

I 'need' one of those bracelets:)


A quick question Sheye - I am registered to do the evolve course and when that finishes, jump straight into explore (or vice versa - I forget which is beginner and which is advanced) - now that it's booked out will we need to wait til next year to do this?

Ivy is precious!

Sheye - it's so funny that you're so cold! It was close to 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) in Atlanta this week! I would LOVE to be cold right now! (And I'm sure you'd love to be hot!) Right now I'm wearing shorts, a tank top, and bare feet.....)!!

Take care! Always love your blog!

hey, s:)
ivy does look darling in her denim!!! i remember when you ordered that adorable ensamble!!!
as far as being cold goes... i too sleep with the fan on high all year round, but when it's cold i have my electric blanket on high as well:D you should try it... the only down side to it is, you will not want to come out of under the blanket in the mornings!!!
the photos of you and kate are too cute!!! i guess that means she's returned from hong kong safely... YEA!!!
have a lovely sunday, and stay warm...
love,
dani

Me too, hating the cold.
Hubby just asked me what was wrong saying I look depressed about something and I said nothing. "I'm just cold which makes me feel down"

I came here for a bit of cheer and got it seeing smiling Ivy and those happy girly shots.
Lovely!!

Love Kristen

Have Ivy been doing modeling?? :) She is the cutest thing among cute things!!

Enjoy yourself in the cold, it's fantastic here, lets say about 25C, which is plenty enough for me.:)

I was surprised about your woolen clothes- is it really THAT Cold..?!! You must have looked fantastic:)

Love

A cute beret,
a lovely coat,
and red shoes to match,

A little fun,
the sweetest smile,
a glimpse of which we catch.

Oh my lord, Ivy is such an utterly adorable little imp!
I hear you on the cold, I hate it! I am dreaming of summer, watermelons and the beach, bring it on!
And curse at you for showing me more divine stuff, I am off to Google those bracelets, want one:)

It is hard to believe it is so cold there...I am in Arizona and it is WELL over 100 here these days. YUCK!! I am a cool weather kind of girl!!

I'm so glad to have you back and blogging - I missed you! Beautiful pics, Sheye! And I loved seeing the pinhole pics. You and Ivy are both so gorgeous!

I know I missed the Question & Answer blogs by about a month, but if you do any more in the future I have 2 questions for you.

1) How is granddad and what has he been up to?

2) You mentioned in earlier blogs that you are doing renovations to your new home. Have you started and would you be willing to give nosy readers like me a "tour in pictures" or some before and after shots?

Much love and peace to you,
Tami in Nevada, USA
