  • 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!

Got this photo from Nic and a message as I’m shooting a wedding today: I’m dressing the kids up weird and there’s nothing you can do about it.

In a nod to Uncle E, we have changed the blog’s title to Coconuts.  Will said he was okay with it.  In fact, he couldn’t remember what he named it originally, so he thought Coconuts was hilarious and an awesome idea.

Got a new quilt for the studio.  Ellie let me use her as a model to test it out.

4 years ago.  I realized this week that when Will was Ellie’s age, he was crawling and pulling up.  Ellie looked like she’d crawl early, then decided she was perfectly happy just rolling everywhere.

(And doesn’t this picture totally look like a fat Ellie?!)
