  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

Look what came in the mail on Friday!

I re-caught the fabric bug too late to catch the Flea Market Fancy fabric line, but I was up early enough one morning this week to snatch up this amazing quilt by Ashley of Film in the Fridge.  It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to make for baby/kiddo shoots, so I had to test it out on my little ones this afternoon.

Ellie loves it and I’m pretty sure she begged me to let her call it her own.  I mean, look at those big puppy dog eyes!  So we came to an agreement that if she lets me borrow it for shoots, it can live with her the rest of the time.

Will likes it, too.  For some reason this out-of-focus shot is my fave.

Mom - GORGEOUS!!
