Hi Annetta
Your photos are so beautiful. Looking forward to following your adventures and am reading your blog "Hitched with Joy". What a wonderful way to spend a year as a family together. Time flies by so fast and taking time out like this will be a special treasure especially as you son grows up. Believe me he's small one minute and before you know it he is 21 and driving his own car!
Officially Film
I've always loved photography, it's been something that I am good at, something I am naturally drawn too. Over the years I've been shooting digital even though I started out shooting film. As my love for photography deepens I find that going back to the basics, back to where it started, very ins...
Your photos are so gorgeous as always. The red poppies in particular provide such a "pop" of color. Have a great weekend!
Fresh Flower Market Blooms
One of my favorite things to do during the week is go to the market for fresh flowers. I usually have a goal of getting only one bunch of flowers, but always walk away for many more then that. I also LOVE how they get wrapped in the kraft paper. Makes it look like a pretty present just right fo...
Lovely Annetta and thank you for sharing this cross stitch chart. I also love the fact that you keep blogging and sharing great ideas and beautiful photos. Thank you.
Imperfect Love Cross Stitch Pattern
A few months ago I worked on some pretty watercolor geometric hearts for Gatherings Magazine's Blog and ever since then I had a plan to make one of those watercolors into a cross stitch pattern. Today I finally finished perfecting the Imperfect Love cross stitch pattern. This pattern represents...
Thank you for this post and for sharing your story as well as the video. I needed to hear the message today especially. It will keep me going for a little while longer. Thank you!
Note To Self : You Got This!
Gorgeous, Gorgeous photos. The white flowers are breathtaking.
A Winter's Gray
Winter has been gray and rainy in Seattle, but even gray can be harnisted into a creative day spent behind the camera. The results I've gained have been beauitful and I get to share it with you!
This is not only fabulous but it is clever not to mention it features one of my favourite things in life cross stitch! It's a wonderful take on the subject and the rose is divine.
DIY Cross Stitch Wall Art
Today I'd love to share with you a DIY project that I've been working on. I've recently moved into my new studio space that's a whole room of my own. It leaves me with a whole lot of bear walls and space to create. I decided to combine my two loves cross stitching and flowers into a beautiful pi...
Great examples and congratulations on being featured too. I sometimes find it hard to be consistent with my photos because they are all taken on my iPhone and they don't' always look as the photos I take with my camera. I also like taking photos of different things. However, I can certainly learn a lot from you and the other people profiled and will keep practising. :)
Instagram Monday + Consistancy & Themes
Yes, I do know it's not Monday, but Tuesday. My internet decided to go down yesterday and I was left postless. With that being said, welcome to a new blog series about Instagram. Say a big thank you to short days where photographing anything after 2pm is now impossible. In these weekly Monday po...
Happy anniversary! You and your photos are gorgeous. Wishing you many more wonderful years together. x
5 Year Wedding Anniversary
Five years ago I married my husband. He was my first kiss, he was my first everything actually. So I am taking some time today to say thank you! Because within those five years he has encouraged me, loved me and believed in me. The truth is, if it wasn't for my husband I wouldn't be here, inspir...
Love the magazine ! Hope you enjoy the blogging your way e-course. I did it a few years ago and thought about doing it again but am doing other courses right now. Look forward to all your posts and beautiful pictures.
Homebound Magazine + Blogging Your Way E-Course
Homebound Magazine has been out since last week, but I am just getting around to posting about it. It is such a gorgeous issue with romance, diy projects color studies and beautiful inspired homes. The best part is Heather from Post Road Vintage and editor-in-chief of Homebound Magazine opened h...
Thank you for another beautiful post and the most gorgeous photos of flowers. Also love the color palette in your photo. I guess that the roses in your garden are probably getting to the end of their season with Fall upon you. They still look lovely. Amazing to think on the other side of the world in Australia the yellow roses in my garden are only just beginning to bloom as Spring is in the air. What a beautiful gorgeous world we live in.
God Is In The Details
The more I photograph, I notice that God loves details. I get to examine every flower, it's petals, color & beauty that He had created. You can see it in nature if you look at the trees or even the rivers. I enjoy it all! The best part of it all is that the details that God loves is what makes u...
Wow 6 hours for one watercolor that is a long time. You must have lots of patience. The cake is fabulous by the way and your photos as usual gorgeous. Enjoy your weekend :)
Celebrating Life Illustration - Part Two
I've decided to watercolor a cake series titled Celebrate Life. You can find the first cake from this series here. I really enjoy working with watercolor as it's such a pretty form of painting, I'm all about pretty. I hope you enjoy this one as I made sure to spend a good 6 hours on it to make s...
Great reminders all of them. Thank you because sometimes it can be difficult to just keep going.....Take care :)
5 Suggestions To Help You When Giving Up Just Isn’t An Option
What do you do when giving up just isn't an option? I know, a weird question to ask. I ask this question because know it or not you yourself will be faced with this question, I have. In the creative world as an artist, photographer, stylist or whatever it is that you do creatively you will find...
Hello! So glad I found your blog through Instagram. Your blog is gorgeous. Love your paintings and photos. They are all so colorful and beautiful. Can't wait to follow you from now on for more. Thank you!
Celebrating Life Illustration
Sometime it's just a really good reminder that life needs to be celebrated. This weekend while you are out and about or with family take the time to celebrate, time to be thankful. There is too much ugly in the world to not seek out the beautiful in our lives. Be Blessed!
I have been checking your blog regularly every week to see if you had updated it and was so happy to find your gorgeous post and the most beautiful flowers. Thank you very much ! Your flower photographs are breathtaking :)
Updates and Flowers
Hello friends, Sorry I have been missing from this space for so long. I took the summer (and a couple more months) to focus on my family and various other creative projects. I will be back here more regularily now and thought you would enjoy catching up with some of these link...
I have recently rediscovered crochet and am obsessed with it. I love these crochet hair ties they are a fabulous idea. Love the red and white combo as well. Thanks for sharing the pattern too :)
Crochet flower hair ties
I must make some more of these. I have an idea to make a collection of these for when Adelaide has a birthday party. They could secure the lolly bags that are given out at the end of the party. Wouldn't that be a cute idea? Little cellophane bags full of cute lollies with crochet flower hai...
Thank you so much for this information. I am flying to Paris next week for work and only have a few moments to shop. I will definitely visit the shops you have profiled. Hopefully they are all still there. Thanks again ! Love your blog by the way it's beautiful.
Craft shopping in Paris
Put on your walking shoes please. I'd like to take you on a tour of my favourite craft shops in Paris. It seems that craft is primarily a right bank thing. I didn't visit all these stores on foot. I got between B and C by metro, and E on a velib with Will. But here is what I found. (Click ...
