Another Week in the Life

Proud to announce that after a lot of hard work, the website is almost totally up and running! I can't wait to share it all with you. Since we were last all here, I had the chance to do the first of what will be many photo shoots for the site. And I had so much fun. My photographer is a friend from school and church and we hadn't had a chance to really talk or catch up in years. So we just wandered around Downtown Fullerton, joking around and getting to know each better. 

When two up and coming professionals work together for the first time, it often feels like a first date. We get to know each other personally and professionally. And at the end, someone asks the awkward question of getting together again. Everything went fantastically, we work together really well. And when you guise see how wonderful the photographs look, trust me. More shall be happening. Her link is already up on my website. Support local artists and businesses. I can never emphasize that more. We have the passion, the talent and skills, and we're far more ethical. 

Putting together the site with my web developer/lady love has been entertaining. She lives in Vegas now and works graveyards, so trying to find time to work on it or even just talk on the phone to go over the knitty gritty....hilarious. So lots of late nights and early mornings for us both. But she's doing a fantastic job and is learning that working with me means having lots of things be more difficult than they should be. But she's a trooper, and honestly gets all the credit for the site. Right off the bat it was better than I had hoped it would be. 

I'm still putting that nose to the grindstone and churning out the good grades. It's a lot of work, but I love it all and wouldn't give it up for anything. I finally got my reconstructed pattern finished and can cut it out and get the shirt started. 

I really hope it turns out well, cuz I loved the shirt it came from. And I've never made a pattern before, so it was nice to get a better idea on how they work to get what you want. Obviously in basic terms and not very complicated....but still. 

Last Wednesday I, as usual, dressed up for class. It obviously was an attention grabbing outfit as everywhere I walked on campus I had people staring at me. But I looked good and knew it. So I just stared everyone right in the eye until they looked away. They all knew they couldn't have me, and were jelly of my confidence. I'm over not wearing things I want to because I'm afraid of getting attention or that it's too dressy for something. I'm just so over jeans and t shirts. I like to walk the line between adorable and risque. Just enough cuteness that no one can call me a hoe. ;) 

I also went on a nice, long walk between classes and snapped this pic. It was gloriously overcast that day and everything looked so pretty. 

And on that note, I have to leave you dolls again. No rest for the weary, and there's a pile of homework to do. Luckily, I did get an email stating one project's due date was pushed back a week....after I had finished it. XD Until next time. :)
