Randomness All Around!

Hey all! I hope everyone is having a fun, safe, and warm winter so far. I'm loving this time of year, fresh off wedding season. It gives me free time to work on projects that have fallen by the way-side... like putting my home office together! I'm almost finished with it. I have a few photo projects I'm working on, as well. I've done a few photoshoots with in the past few weeks I need to post about, not to mention, getting orders completed in time for holiday deadlines! Lots and lots to do! I think a prioritized To-Do list is in order.

Oh! I'm going to be an auntie soon! (I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet!) My sister is preggo with a baby girl, Victoria Rose. She should be here any day now. Her due date is December 28th. I'm hoping she comes before Christmas though. How fun would it be to have a new member of the family just in time for the festivities? I'm super excited. I've never been an aunt before! Which makes me wonder, what does it take to be the fun, cool aunt? I've heard I just have to let her do things her mom won't let her lol. I think that would get me in trouble, fast. I'll be sure to post pictures when she comes. I'm just waiting on that phone call when it's time to head up to the hospital!

Hmm, what else is new? I've decided I want to learn how to make clothes. Ha! I know it is completely ambitious of me and over my head, but with some studying I'm sure I can do it! Project Runway here I come! :P In all seriousness, though, wouldn't it be sweet if I could create my own garments for my photoshoots? Talk about complete creative control! I would LOVE it! I wanted to make a dress for myself for the holidays.
here's the pattern I bought.

Total vintage glam, right?

Considering I do not own a sewing machine, I think it will be difficult to make. With that in mind I decided to buy a dress, but still attempt to make this one on a friend's sewing machine. But now I have no time restraints, which is good! On top of making clothes, I taught myself how to knit... well kind of. I can: cast-on, garter stitch, and bind-off. With the help of a few You-Tube videos, I'm sure I can do more. Aaaand as if learning how to make clothes and knitting weren't enough, I'm learning how to play the guitar (again). I took lessons when I was in high school for a spell, but nothing ever stuck. I've decided now is the time! lol

I think I'm done rambling like a crazy person now! I should probably head to bed so I can wake up early and make that To-Do list. Good night, my lovies.
