come on warmth

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I missed Niko’s hair this long! He begged me at the end of last summer to cut it off. I was pretty much in tears. I got so excited a few weeks ago when he told me he didn’t want it cut short again cause he likes it long…good, me too! It’s starting to look like this again. I love when it falls a little in his face and brushes it over with his hand. His big brown eyes just pop out at you!

Oh and sorry if I bore you, constantly talking about my kids. What would you want me to talk about, work? There is absolutely no entertainment in that subject! It’s so unentertaining that I’ve barely felt motivated about it lately. I bought a new serger over a month and a half ago and haven’t used it yet. I can’t remember when I last designed a sewing pattern. I got my new Canon 7d almost 2 weeks ago and finally used it last night for the first time! I swear I’m scared of that camera. There is just so much more too it than my little old Rebel. It will just take some time to get used to I guess. Hopefully once it warms up and the kids aren’t trapped inside (making me crazy) I’m sure it will get better. I’ll be sewing away and snapping pics like a pro…ok, maybe not quite like a pro. But hey practice makes perfect right?!

DanielDanielOh my gosh, do you ever feel like you’ve totally caught up?  I swear I don’t know what that feels like!  Maybe that means I take on too much…which wouldn’t be too hard to believe.  But really, how do I narrow it down?  There’s stuff I need to do and stuff I want to do.  I need to clean the house, give the kids a bath, answer customer questions, send out orders, take a nap (definitely a need at this point), etc.  I want to play with my new camera :) , design a new pattern, take me boys out so they can drive their powerwheels, take a break from work totally for one whole day.  How do you do it?  How do you run a business alone and take care of your family?  It’s hard wearing all of the hats in a business.  But I also have to admit it’s exciting and fulling knowing that this is all me.  I did this, ME!  Ok, so since I’ve worked so hard I’m going to give myself a pat on the back and a vacation day…here’s one for you too! ;)

Oh, and who is that little cutie above?  That is Daniel, one of my oldest friend’s little boys.  I secretly took pics of him while she was away.  She hadn’t had any profession photos done of him so I thought that she would totally appreciate it.  Finally two weeks after I had taken them I was able to drop them off at her door step.  Man, I wish I could have seen her face when she opened them!  Made me smile though to know that something so simple could mean so much to someone. :)

RAW

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

LukasYay!  This is the first RAW image I ever processed.  I’ve took plenty of RAW pics but couldn’t figure out how it the heck to get them to open on my computer.  Yeah, I’m a dork!  Anyway, I’m excited and hope to start shooting in RAW full time.  I know, I’d better invest in some large memory cards.

Oh and thanks Amanda for reminding me to update my blog…could you do that a few times a week please?! ;)
