{october up 'til now...}

Whooaaa... all of October up 'til now has been filled with seasonal goodness, activities, events, long awaited visits, brushing up on and learning new skills and more.- There's so much that has inspired me throughout this time and all these experiences... My trip to visit my sista and bff Kim was much needed for all of us I think.. it was filled with grittiness & creativity, knitting/crocheting, baking & jewelry making... I was also able to attend the creative *SPARK* event just last weekend with best friends and it exceeded my hopes & wishes of what it might be like by far! 

We took classes and worked on creative projects that I can hardly wait to share. I still need to finish a few.. I did finish my vintage flower makeover on a plain shirt and love it! I'm so excited to create & do much more with this skill. 

I also L-O-V-E-D the photography class and have been experimenting with all the different settings on my camera & taking photos outside of "auto." This is so invigorating to me... I really enjoy capturing what's interesting to me & what I see through the lens. 

We learned a technique called "sunflare" that I really like and have been having fun working with.

Sunday, I looked out the window and saw Syd and her little friend Jade out on her front lawn having a picnic on a blanket, listening to music and playing together. It was that perfect time of day for shooting photos and the setting was so natural that I decided to go out and practice and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!
