On Second Thought

The patterned background was not that great of a choice after all. The yellow silhouette was not defined enough amid the green squares. This made the whole project pointless considering you could barely make out the fine details of Evan's features.

I've replaced the patterned background with a solid green background. The change is remarkable. Now I really am happy with the turnout.

I realize this is a poor excuse for a picture, but I haven't figured out how to take a picture without getting some sort of reflection in the glass. Tips, anyone?

Silhouette Gentille Silhouette

Evan's nursery has been somewhat finished for awhile now. There are certain touches that I've been meaning to make, but just haven't gotten around to - one being the vacant wall space above his changing area.

I decided a few months ago that I was going to make a silhouette of Evan's head, frame it and hang it up above his dresser/changing station. I finally got around to doing it and I really love how it turned out. I'm now not certain that it is large enough to fill that vacant space, but I will definitely find a spot for it.

Here is the picture I used to make the silhouette:

And here is the framed silhouette:

I thought about doing the traditional black silhouette on a white background, but I wanted to add more color to his room and I like the idea of a patterned background.

I laughed when I first looked at the finished silhouette because it looked a lot like my brother, Todd. Genetics are amazing, aren't they?

Fall in Florida

We spent most of yesterday outside enjoying the fall-like weather in Florida. The high was about 70, but with the whipping wind it felt more like 60-65. I ain't gonna lie...we were cold. We're those people you see walking down the street in ski jackets and ear muffs when the temperature drops below 60 degrees. That's what happens when you move to Florida.
