winter look book

Now that I've got most of my pictures taken for the store section of my website my main focus is finding a beautiful place between New Jersey and Mass to take some pictures for the look book section. I think my sisters house is a good location because it is right in between us and she has a nice big yard. plus it would be nice to be able to warm up in between pictures if we get cold! It's really easy to get to from the high way and it is right next to the CT wine trail. I'm working 6 days a week again. but usually get Tuesdays off. So hopefully Shamby will be able to meet me half way on a week day. if not i will have to request time off and this is going to take a week later then we wanted too. BUT I'm still being patient and figure everything will sell in time and within 3 years i will have a good size inventory to pick from. i think a lot of the stuff i make this summer will come out a lot nicer then the stuff from last year. im def. going to make everything with the smaller yarn like I did with the shirt Ruby bought. Plus, i just heard word from jes that her and her friend were looking at the web site and they want to buy a few things on there! That makes me super excited and gives me a lil extra to look forward to with all this time I've put in to this.

Fall Photo Shoot

today was one long day of pictures out of 131 pictures 81 came out nice. not bad. cant wait to see which ones shamby picks out of the bunch to put on the website!

leg warmers

im leg warmer crazy right now! i just want to keep on crocheting more they are so cute! the next ones i want to make i want to be yellow!!! mustard yellow!!!  and i want them to be high enough that even all scrunched up they are above my knees! omg i cant wait to start making these! but i dont think i have the color yet. i havent gone into the closet to look just yet. but i was thinking i can do a bunch of different color yellows too if i dont have enough of that color. i dont like settling with the yarns i have when i have something in mind but usually i cant find what my mind thinks of in a store. so im always improvising with my initial plan any way. time to go dig these things up!

prepare

 now that i finished my sweater i feel so much relief .now i can start getting prepared for the photo shoot and im so excited. i found this awesome fabric for the back drop at jo anns but it was like 40 bucks for the amount i was looking for and that was all the money in my pocket so i didnt want to spend it all there. im going to start working on some new leg warmers soon and also start working on a new hat. im unhappy with a lot of the yarn i have right now. which isnt unusual for me. but i dont really have the money to drop on a bunch of heady yard right now. so i have to make due with what i have.

YAY!!

so... i got the hook up and am getting some picture taken of my stuff for free. Hodges from my work said he would help me. im going to buy black fabric one of the next few days coming up to use as a back drop. im super excited to have hodges helping me with this project i totally trust his work (mostly his camera) and i just finished my newest sweater and it came out so good. ive been super motivated again to get this work done. and i figured as long as i got the sweater done i dont have to panic as much about inventory.  and can work on things slowly from here on out.
