Today, my little seven year old was feeling left out as I took pictures of my little four year old modeling for my boutique. So, I took pics of her just to keep her happy. Poor little thing is running a temp tonight and not feeling well, so this one is for you my little sweetheart.

Just love it when my children decide to fly around the house.

K loves it when I let her fly around the house. Her favorite broom is the one that came from Harry Potter. Here is the proof. And if you were wondering, no, it isn't photoshopped.

What is it about black and white photos?

I love the action that I used on these. It is a free action from MCP Actions. Her link is to the right side of my blog. Go check her out.

I don't know what it is about black and white photos, but I just love them. Here are just a couple that I took today.

My Photography story

Way back when I was in high school, and I say way back lightly, (1978) I found myself Intrigued by photography. I took a simple class and learned a little bit about dark rooms and developing film. It was very interesting and since that time I have been drawn to the Art of photography. It wasn't until 1997 that I was to acquire my first SLR camera. (It was a camera with lenses that I could change.) I really did not know much about using it. In fact, I only ever used the automatic modes. It did take some great pictures though, and I was hooked. When the digital cameras came to be, I wanted to have one sooo desperately. They were not cheap though, and the closest thing I could get to having one was to hold it in my hands in the retail store. :-) It wasn't long though before my dear husband purchased my first DSLR camera, and I was just thrilled! He really did not know what he was getting into. He was very much in the dark when it come to the hobby of photography. Well, as time passed, he purchased me four studio lights, several backdrops, photo props, lenses, umbrellas, an even better camera, speedlite, etc. etc. etc. Like I said, he didn't know what he was getting into. So, now I have to practice, practice, practice. I need to give him back just a bit of what he has given me. I need to hone my skills and become the photographer that I want to be. So, practice makes perfect, or at least perfect practice makes perfect. So, I need to do just that. Thank you Jerry for giving me this opportunity! I could not do this without you!

My Sewing Story

I started sewing when I was 10 years old. I watched my mother sew for years. One day, I asked her if she would teach me. She said sure, and after taking me to a local fabric store, I sat down to start my project. I opened the pattern envelope, and asked my mom what I needed to do. She responded with, "You read the directions." That was it. I had to read the directions and figure it out. When I made a mistake, she would tell me to take out the stitches and read the directions again. And that was the beginning of my sewing adventures.
I am now a mother if six children and have been sewing ever since. I sew for my children, and have been selling on ebay for several years now.
