I am cheating again this week. For two reasons, I worked all of last week and did not get any time to take photos or blog. Second reason, I love this photo Justin took of my sister's and I and wanted to share it.

Mum has been asking (reading, nagging for almost seven years) for a photo of the three of us together. I finally convinced younger sister to do it for Mum. So here we are, the quickest five minute photo shoot ever. But I think I am just as happy as Mum to have a photo of the three of us together.

Last year Jodi inspired me to pick up my camera and turn the focus inward. This year I have opted to continue with the series as I feel there are still so many family stories to be told through photos. So I will continue to Link up with Jodi  (the artist formerly known as Che & Fidel now Practising Simplicity) for the 52 Project. 

Also linking up with Bron over at Baby Space with the quote a week

PAJAMAS AT THE FOTT HOUSE

Pyjamas. Pajamas. PJs. Jammies.  There is nothing like comfortable pyjamas.

A loose-fitting garment consisting of trousers and a shirt or top, worn for sleeping or lounging. Often used in the plural.

We had dinner last night at my little sister’s house for my big sister’s birthday. Our matching pajamas were worn. I bought the fabric to make myself a pair, and rather than waste the left over fabric, Jarvis scored himself, yet another pair of PJs. This time I put elastic around the ankles of his, that way I could make them extra long to allow for growth, but to stop him tripping over the hem. I also like how they look a little like puffy clown pants. 

It is the first time I have ever drafted a pants pattern. For Jarvis I use a pattern I had on hand. However, for mine, I got out the pencils and paper and created my own pattern. For the next pair I make, I will do a few minor adjustments to the pattern. But over all, I am happy with the fit.

You can see some of my sister’s gorgeous house in these images. Which Tamika and I have named the FOTT House. Also I am super happy that Jarvis and I are in photos together. It is such a rare thing, even if I am embarrassing him by matching him! Yeah I know how daggy.

Now I am about to make Tamika and Jarvis a matching set!! Hmm wonder if I can convince Tamika to do a matching photoshoot with Jarvis?
