When the kids are too quiet...

you know they're getting into something. And you're not sure whether you want to know what it is...



You have to wonder, what is he thinking in this shot? Is this just an innocent puppy-dog sort of look? Or is he thinking, "Oh crap, she sees me! If I just squat here and look really cute and innocent, maybe she'll just whip out the camera and take pictures instead of punishing me for this horrible green mess I've made."

Boutique Eden and "The Hamptons"

Here's my newest set on ebay for Boutique Eden's launch, "The Hamptons". What would it be like to live in the Hamptons? What would you wear? This is my take...

60's and earthy, with a pop of color...

And, coming very soon!...

SuperMAN!

As I was going to take pictures of some jewelry the other day, my little guy in his Superman uniform hopped in front of the camera and started saying "Picture-uh-me! Picture-uh-me!" And of course, anytime one of my kids willingly stands still in front of the camera, I could never, ever, resist!



It's been awhile since I've listed just jewelry! I've been so busy concentrating on clothes. But when Christine of GenMarie asked me to match her adorable panda set I was more than happy to whip something up!

My newest creation...

My newest set, "Euro Delite", is for the Elite Euro "Serendipity" launch. I joined the launch group just a few days before, but I really wanted to whip something up for this launch! This will be my first season making fall clothes on ebay, and even though we are still in the middle of summer I'm getting really excited to make some cozy fall styles!

I had wanted to make a transitional set that Hailey can wear right now, and still be adorable for fall. I am already envisioning her running around in this outfit with her cute little fur-trimmed boots...

Smores and more practicing...

Today I decided to actually try photographing a moving object. The trick is to get that moving object to stand in the one shady spot of my yard while I play around with my settings.



(Of course a little bribe of smores never hurts!)

This amazingly adorable outfit is one we just got from the very talented Michelle of pixie*couture! LOVE it!!!

I'm ecstatic! I finally took a decent picture all by myself in manual mode! I am still feeling rather clueless when it comes to my camera, there is so much I have to learn. But finally, I am on my way.

And maybe, just maybe, I will get on a roll with this blog, and someone besides me will start reading it ;)

I've been tagged! 7 Random Things About Me...

I've been tagged by Linda, Aida, Michelle, and Chelsea! Here we go... Prepare yourself!

1. I'm half Chinese. My dad's parents came here from China. People are constantly wondering what the heck I am, especially since my last name is no longer Wong. People guess Italian, Hispanic, all sorts of things, but mostly Hawaiian. I went to Maui once many years ago and oh, how I felt right at home! I looked like everyone else, and the slow pace of life there is just heavenly...

2. My hiccups are monstrous! It is absolutely embarrassing when I get a bad case of the hiccups while in public. Either this loud, high-pitched squeak comes out and everyone turns to stare at me... or I try to stifle it and my head jerks back really hard, and everyone stares at me. I guess at least my diaphragm is probably healthy.

3. I used to race snowmobiles. Sno-cross. So much fun!!! Unfortunately I haven't been on one since before I got pregnant with Hailey. Since having kids, I feel guilty doing anything too risky. Not to mention I still have trouble leaving them for more than a few hours at a time.

4. I would secretly love to be a rock star! I really would!!!


5. I am perfectionistic in the most ridiculous little ways. For example... when I go to quickly spiff up the bathroom, more than a few times I've found myself an hour later scrubbing behind the toilet with an old toothbrush. (Who ever looks that closely behind the toilet?) Another example... when I stack Chris' socks (he won't let me fold them--says it stretches them out) they have to be perfect or it will drive me nuts. Well a few days ago, just after I'd stacked them, I noticed that one was lying sloppily on top of the rest. I just stood there staring at it, dumbfounded, wondering how on earth I could have done such a thing. (Stupid, I know!) Well then Chris busts up laughing. He knows how I am so he messed the sock up on purpose to see what I would do. Okay, this is so stupid it's embarrassing!

6. Wow, what else is there... Well, my favorite subject in school was math. I am a geek and I love math.

7. I love to play the piano! I've played since I was 10, and I played some in college too. I find it so soothing and relaxing. A great stress relief!

Now who can I tag??? Everyone's already been tagged! What are the rules? I'm still new to this blogging thing :)

Photo Shoot

This is how our photo shoot went yesterday. I couldn't get Hailey to quit doing her goofy ballerina poses :p But hey, some of them are pretty cute and it's better than the tongue-sticking-out poses!

Ack!!!

Obviously I have a lot to learn, LOL! What is happening to my pictures? They are getting cut off!!

Finally!

I'm finally ready to get this blog going! Seeing all the cool blogs out there, I've really been wanting to do this for awhile now. So... first I'll do some catch-up :)



Here's our family in 2003... just Chris, me and Hailey, before Nathan was born. I really need to scan some family pics of the 4 of us onto the computer. It's about time to do new family pictures again too! I'd like to lose some weight first. My weight has been all over the chart since having these kiddos, and right now it is NOT on the lower end!...
