Practice makes Perfect.

Since this sweet little family stayed with us a few days for Christmas I asked them if I could do a small family portrait session. I wanted to practice on my camera, and thought they'd enjoy having a few family photos. I know I have a lot to learn and realized after the fact that I used the wrong kind of film. I was feeling a tad ignorant so I studied up on ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Its been since high school that I learned these terms so I certainly have a long way to go. Here's to practice makes perfect! They definitely made it easy since they're all so photogenic. Hope you enjoy these L&P.

Animals For Days. [Part I]

This is an extremely delayed post, but I wanted to wait until some of the pieces got fired so I could show you the finished results. These high school kids really blew me away with their creativity. All these pieces are made from two pinch pots so they are all completely hollow. The students came up with their own design for the animal and after I taught them how to create a hollow 'egg' shape they added all the features. I also couldn't get enough of all the minions. They were the cutest things. More pictures to follow. K

Deep Diamond Tufting.

I'm not sure why I wanted to make a tufted headboard. Maybe I saw one in a film or something but before too long I was combing through every tutorial or YouTube video I could find about it. That was a year ago. So this weekend I put my big girl panties on and summoned the courage to finally build my headboard. My favorite tutorials found here , and here . Mine certainly won't be as good as theirs so I'll keep it brief. I think my total for all materials came to around $85 but then again my math is horrible so... Make sure you take advantage of JoAnn's incredible sales. I think I saved $60 dollars when I went. I scored on my fabric too, only $9 a yard. The most annoying part of this process, as all blogs stated, was the buttons. And I'd have to agree with them. They were so small. The fabric was so thick. The little tool that pushes the button together sucks so... with Mummy's help, my solution was pliers. Just use pliers. It will save your finger...

The Stinnett's.

I absolutely loved taking photographs of the Stinnett family. There were certainly lots of laughs along the way, which made my job easier. A few melt downs (those trains will get you all the time), but nothing this sweet family couldn't recover from. They're such a fun, silly lot and it was my pleasure to capture some moments for them.
