Many of you know that I have started playing a little with photography....mostly to be able to take some of my photos of my items I make. I have been studying tons of youtube videos and playing endless hours with my camera, as well as tons of time with both Lightroom and Photoshop......I just need some willing victims to photograph now.....Seems everyone is afraid of me pointing a camera at them...LOL. Here are a couple of pics I took yesterday of the little boy I babysit. I wish I had set my camera speed a little faster and maybe I could of caught the water a little better. But overall I liked them, and his gramma (who is raising him) LOVED them......that's all that matters!!

      I am busy, busy, busy, working on some new crochet patterns!! I hope to have some ready to go to the testers in a day or two. As soon as all edits are done, they will be up for sale. It take ten days to get back results from testers.....
     I have also been really busy getting some items ready for twins....they will make their appearance in the world sometime in August. I am excited that I get to photography them. I am also going to be doing photos for my nieces wedding.....I am really nervous about it...I don't want to let her down. I love to take photos but am nowhere near a pro.....YET!!!! For those of you who don't know me....I have loved photography my whole life. But up until recently I could never afford the equipement needed. I received an awesome camera as a present from my brother. I have since saved and bought several lenses, lights, stands, and other accessories to go with it. I save all the money from the crafts I make and the patterns I sell to put into my photography.....YES I am that serious about it . I am also very serious about designing patterns!!
  

Oh where do I start......sorry for not blogging on here much. I really am new to this but I do want to learn and finally figured out the only way to do that.......is to do it!! I went back to work for a few months but am now back home for good. My job kept me traveling away from home for months. I am going to go back to designing patterns. I also have a new hobby, one I have wanted to pursue for many years, photography....I was blessed with a nice DSLR camera from my brother and have invested in some other stuff as well. I have a lot to learn, but I have read, watched, and practiced almost none stop since I got the camera. I will start posting a few pics as I go along....I also am going to work on some patterns and get more published. This evening I will be working on a pair of baby booties that I have in my brain.....now to just get them designed and the pattern on paper.
