Announcements Are Here!
I've been working on some backgrounds the past couple days for some STUNNING photo announcement options. They are a little bit of everything and I LOVE the way they are turning out.
These are great for graduation or engagement announcements and holiday family portraits.

Beautiful Sunday!
Today was just one of those beautiful days. Husband and I rolled out the grill and spent the evening on the deck, taking photos and waiting for brats and potatoes to grill.

Get It Started!
I want to THANK everyone for their AMAZING support. I am still looking to build my porfolio and would LOVE to take your photograph!
If you have any high school seniors, college graduates, prom attendees, families, kids, or anyone else that should have their photo taken, please let me send them my direction!
I shoot all my photos on location - you pick the place and I'll be there.
Oh, and I have pictures here to view [copy & paste]:

In The Mail
Yesterday, after a fun trip to the city for Chipotle and chocolate, we all got home and tucked in the door was another Quilt for Kids fabric packet. CUTE FABRIC! Again, I'm pretty sure that if I saw this fabric at the store, I'd walk right past it, but it will still make a fabulous blanket for someone that needs it.
I also bought a little bit more fabric for myself. Pictures to come later.
And aside from getting locked out of the house, I had a great time yesterday. Had a great model for some portraits and they turned out fantastically.

Pity Party: Long Post Ahead
Yesterday was a ROUGH day...
Love left early for work, so I started early on my sewing.
I was already feeling alone and depressed; a little to do with being home and constantly working on things, but not really seeing TONS of progress. That and my usual group of people that I talk to everyday have slowly been online less and less, including all the normal blogs I read haven't been updated as frequently lately. So, with no one to talk to and nothing to read, I set myself down with a cup of sweet tea, an old black and white movie and got to sewing. Only to spill the ENTIRE glass of tea on the spare bed as I swooshed fabric around the room. Sad.
So I took apart the bed and started the laundry. And sat back down to sew.
Now, the piece I'm working on now isn't high on the difficulty scale, but it sure is putsy and takes FOREVER. It is slow moving work and after my machine decided to chunk its way through a few seams, I had to stop and pull out the seam-ripper.
Frustrated, I checked back online to see if any blogs had been updated or if anyone was online to talk to. Nope. No changes.
Then, an idea hit me. If I want to really get into the photography biz, I'm going to need somewhere else to print and help organize photos. And then I found it. A company that will sell, print, mail, and deposit photos and money for me. I know, sounds too good to be true, right? I did a lot of research. It is a pretty solid company that has been around for YEARS and while I figured it would cost me something, I wouldn't have to deal with orders or money or CREDIT CARD FEES. WhoOo!
I got really excited about it and REALLY wanted to spill my guts to someone about how excited I was, but remember? No one was online. Love was at work (and had forgotten his phone at home). And so I sat there. Wallowing in my own sadness that no one could be excited with me.
Pity party commence!
I turned back to my project I'm working on, but again, having problems with the needle and the ca-chunk ca-chunk of the machine made me stop. I grabbed my computer and decided to Google solutions while watching some TV.
In case you weren't aware, there is NOTHING on TV on Friday nights. So, with nothing to watch, and nothing to sew, and no one to talk to, I was getting really frustrated.
And somewhere in there, my mind drifted to where I want to take a photography business. What would I like to do and what would I need to start off with. I'm pretty confident with my dSLR, but in my online searching last night, I TOTALLY fell in love with a new lens. Then I thought, "Well, maybe I can convince Love that with some of our tax refund, I could get this new lens and get my photography business off the ground; make some actual money off of it."
And then Love FINALLY came home, but had other things on his mind. So... I find myself still frustrated and dreaming.
But I currently have a few photography gigs lined up, so... that's a bonus. Senior pictures, family portraits and sporting events; here I come.
