Apparently my hat creations come in bursts...I haven't been able to get them out of my mind the past few days. And I am seriously going to have to start selling or giving them away because I don't think Sophie needs one more hat. But then again she does look so cute in them so maybe I am over compensating since she refuses to wear shoes..haha...
We had yet another beautiful day here today and to be honest I am beginning to feel a bit guilty about it considering all the snow that's going on in other states. I don't want to lose it but I wouldn't mind sharing a few rays
I also wanted to say thanks for all the nice comments about my photography. It is really becoming a passion for me. And I think with my recent progress/addiction I have convinced hubby to allow a camera upgrade sometime soon. With the promise that I would start venturing out of our little bubble at home and make some money off of this whole photography thing. I definitely have a long way to go but you gotta start somewhere.
I also wanted to add for those who are curious, I use a basic Nikon D40x with a 50mm 1.8,pretty much my constant lens. The other two I have are kit lenses, not bad but once you use a 50mm it's hard to go back to them haha...
As far as software I use photoshop elements, I really don't do anything crazy fancy, it's mostly colors/contrast etc. I am still pretty clueless when it comes to the fancy stuff elements has to offer. But I have been learning much from blogs like Texas Chicks tons of info there about it and then some.
And of course I can't forget about Picnik, when all else fails I pop over there and play with my photos. I'd say it's the perfect place to get awesome processing with little effort. If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend :)
Oh and I definitely plan on selling this pattern so when I get the sizing thing down I will be on the look out for a few testers so keep an eye out for that request... And with that, I think I am done here :)
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!!

That hat looks so cute! I love your photography skills even though you say you're learning. I wish to be somewhat of a photographer myself but haven't got the right camera, yet. I'll just envy you for now! Thanks for sharing the link to Texas Chicks. Have a great day!
