Photo Creativity

Tuesday...the day after Monday; however at work today it felt a little like a Monday. Anyway, since I'm trying to join the social media band wagon...in an effort to not get stuck in the 80s...ok its not the 80s but the 20 11s, I've decided I need to particiate. I've been looking at different blogs and some are very interesting. I ran across the Baby Makin Machin Blog (visit it) and I really like it. On her blog she has this wonderful section called 365 love letters; where she takes pics of her daughter and puts a letter or script on them. So awesome! Well, I loved her last pic so much I decided to recreate it for my son.

Sunday I took him for a walk around the neighborhood and then took him on this little wooded trail. I just allowed him to explore and walk around while I snapped pictures of him. I was able to get this awesom shot:

I did some editing in lightroom...very little color editing; put it in PS8 and put the words on it and bam! I now have this nice pick to share with my son some day. I think he will love it when he's an adult.  I shared it wth some folks at work and they just loved it....I do too.

This little project took no time and will be a lasting image that CJ will love one day...its crazy to think that his kids might see it one day...how sweet is that!

Crafty Mom

Ok, so its been a while...I've been busy.  First as you can see I've changed my blog's name from Deliciously Cute Photography to Deliciously Cute Creations.  I've started some new hobbies and thought I would like to use the blog to display them. 

Recently, I've started crocheting and making some really cool hats.  From cute adult hats; which my friends at work are calling the Wiz Kahfila...this rap guy who's now married to Amber Rose...Kayne West's ex.  Ok, ok, ok...side tracked; anyway their cute and if I have a pic I'll post.  I've also made these really cute kid character hats...Sock Monkey and Owl. 

The urge to make them came from my obsession with ETSY.  I'm on that site all the time trying to find cute fun things for my son.  I ordered him this Owl hat...you can see in the post from his 1st birthday.  After getting it I thought...I can so make this.  So I used Youtube videos to teach myself some basic stitches (Crochet by Teresa...the bomb) and googled pattern abbreviations and BAM that was all she wrote.  Now I've gotten just about everyone at my job hooked on hooking!  My next hat will be the Angry Bird Hat featured on Teresa's website and newest Youtube post...not because I like or really want to make it but because my husband asked me to make it for him...so I'm going to.  I'll post it when its done.

So as I work on new things I hope to share them here and hopefully you can follow along as well. 

Here are two of my hats:
