This is not a fairytale. I learned that quite a few months ago. Naively, we went into this thinking "Oh! We want to have a baby now" and expected that it would happen because we wanted it to. And, for some that does work. Not for me - or many others like me. It's hard. It's emotional. It sometimes gets the best of you. So, after over a year of trying to conceive and a PCOS diagnosis, I find myself here - trying to believe.

Some stuff I'm going to be working on.

  1. Making half-apron for my photography junk while shooting. It is mega annoying when you're trying to shoot and your camera bag is falling off your shoulder. Another photographer posted a pic of herself and mentioned that was a waitress apron she was wearing to hold her lenses and stuff. My immediate thought was - Genius. So, I'm going to crochet myself one with custom pockets.
  2. Make pose blueprints for shoots. This idea came to me while browsing Pinterest. I thought - All these great pose ideas and I forget half of them on shoots. So, my idea is to sketch out blueprints of the pose...stick figures will work and maybe a few keywords on some index cards. I'll go through my stack and handpick some for each shoot.
  3. Reupholster 2 junk items I found. This one scares me most. But I didn't pay for the items so nothing is really lost...except maybe my patience in the end.
  4. 500 Fans Contest This is actually going on right now on my Facebook Fan Page. I have 14 people competing for a chance to win 1/2 off their session fee. It ends tomorrow (7/3/11) at 6pm.
I suddenly got really sleepy thinking about all that. Or maybe it's just an after effect of all the BBQ. DH is going to be gone for at least a few days, so I have some projects to keep me busy.
