create (a life): creative block

Sometimes projects come together quickly. I can envision them right away, and execute them as soon as I have the time. Done and done. Other times I have to dance with them awhile. And that is how it's been designing the invitations for our Isia's 3rd birthday. I wanted to include her beloved butterflies but all my attempts just kept looking so... cloying. So instead I doctored up a picture of Isia in Photoshop and gave her wings. Because who doesn't want to give their kiddo wings? 

Now for the printing and sending off to family and a few of our little friends. And the deciding what to make her. As I've begun to sew more for her, she's realized that things are either bought or made. So she'll pick out a dress and ask, "Mama sew this or from the store?" And if it's from the store, "Who bought it for me?" She's going to keep me on my toes, this one. Maybe I need some wings too! (smile)
