Picture Catch Up

It is no secret as of lately what my one of my new creative pursuits is, photography. Here I will post my recent train track pictures of stink bone jones. I am having so much fun photographing this little boy! He was over the moon excited while on the train track, Harold, located a real piece of coal! Christian just could not believe that there was a REAL piece of coal on the train track. For some reason, he thinks that every train is a coal train, even though we live in Florida. He does not distinguish passenger train or cargo train, just COAL train. So, to his utter amazement he came in contact with a real piece of coal.

Upon reaching the train tracks, I was so wrapped up in where I would shoot, on which side of the track, what camera settings, etc.. that I hardly noticed my son's intense excitment. Astounded that we were really walking on train tracks, he repeated over and over again, "Real train tracks, real train tracks..." It was too cute when I snapped out of my camera reverie to his cute little words about real train tracks. We did have so much fun and I cannot wait to go back for seconds.

Easter Sneak Peak

Finally, something other than Lollipops. Although there were some lollipop pictures taken. This is just a sneak peak of one of many adorable Easter pictures taken in the park the other day. This is the main reason I have not made one single Easter decoration this year, nor participated in any swaps. I'm too involved with taking and editing these pictures!

I have to say, the day was just beautiful! Perfect weather, low humidity, sunshine, and happy toddlers (for the most part). My friend Kristie is the mommy to these gorgeous girls and a fellow aspiring photographer as well. Although, I think she already is a photographer. She caught such gorgeous pictures of my son which made it into my Easter card. People from around the park stopped to take a peak at our little ones. My son, stink bone jones, thought the tea party thing was a good idea. He has never been to one before.

Oh yes, Lollipop Lollipop

I'm crazy with these lollipops but they are so much fun! And as I've said before, they keep stink bone jones still enough for pictures. This is exercise 3 in "Understanding Exposure". I really do not know what I'm doing still but I do like the way these turned out so light and pastel like. I think it overexposed a bit but creatively I like it. I still can't figure out how to read my EXIF data to figure out what the exposure is on these. Enjoy!

Le Wreath

The newest addition to my Etsy shop is Le Wreath. I really adore this wreath! If I don't sell it, I will keep it all to myself. Made from hotpink tulle and millinery from brandywine it is perfect to hang in a little girl's room or a big girl's too! It took quite sometime to make so I am pleased it is now complete!

More lollipops

Are you all tired of my lollipop pictures? Well, I'm not yet! This is about the only way I can keep stink bone jones still long enough to learn this photography thing. I am having so much FUN! He also sat through a cupcake or maybe 2. Enjoy!

Busy Busy Busy

I've been quite busy lately with my new hobby photography but cannot neglect my old hobbies, crafting! I have been preparing for a birthday party coming up this week and it is rare that we get to go to a girl's birthday party (usually all boys). So, I got to make frilly stuff! I also bought frilly things! I had so much fun crafting for this.

The brooch (in French says, "Am I gorgeous or what? Je suis belle ou quoi?) will be coming to my shop soon with much better pictures to follow. The wreath will be coming too, as soon as I get another one made up. Enjoy! Oh, the antique silver peat pot is in my shop but the other one is not. I plan on making another teal peat pot but with the words, birthday girl. It is a delightful way to give a gift.








Frosting Couture is my new favorite Etsy shop. She made these lovely shoes for the party and I also bought a matching headband. Just click on the link right here in the post to go to Frosting Couture's Etsy Shop.

Lollipop continues!

Still having fun playing with color and cropping. Here are some more lollipop pics of Stink Bone Jones. I've been busy creating new things for my shop and will have pictures by the end of the week.
