Oh the Possibilities!

Well, trying to get back into the swing of things! Got a sewing machine for Christmas, and was super excited about creating all sorts of things, but instead ended up sick for over a month with various of things. So now that I am getting back into the swing of life again, I am getting excited with loads of projects to come!

With inspiration looming, I decided to spruce my already created photography website. Do check it out if you haven't yet (www.wix.com/tlkcreatives/tlkcreatives). My goal was to make it more appealing and inviting for all to see. I have also been blessed with the request to shoot a wedding in the fall. The wedding is in Illinois, not to far from St. Louis Missouri for a dear, dear, friend from college and her beloved fiance!  I am truly starting to see the blessings role on in. I also contacted a fellow photographer and student about assisting her with some of the jobs she has booked for this summer. My goal is to really start getting my name out there and to gain real experience. I hope that the experience will turn into some of my best work ever once Kerry's wedding roles around in September. She is such a close friend and I wouldn't want nothing but the best for her!

With my photography inching its way back into my life again, I can't help and think about all the other inspirations I have and really want to share. At the beginning of February I was invited to a pre-valentines party. It ended up being a delicious and fun experience for me which I hope enjoy again sometime soon. With this party I said to myself, "what better way to test out my sewing machine then to make simple vday gifts for all the ladies attending the party?" So I did just that! I made each of them  a rice bag to help with the aches and pains of life, as well as simple matching pull bag for trinkets, glasses, or random items you never know what to do with. They ended up being such a hit that some of the men in these ladies lives have requested rice bags of their own! The complements keep coming in about how much they all love them. So here's my thought! I want to continue to create things that make those who either receive them as gifts or choose to buy them, feel that they are truly getting something they can't live without! Not just because its the item itself but because it was made from the heart and made with purpose! The goal is to eventually provide my creations for people to buy because they want something with purpose but don't have a creative bone in their body to do so themselves. Because lets face it, we all have our own gifts and gifts are meant to be shared!

So, until my next post... keep a look out for projects to start appearing with all this inspiration brewing. Photographs are on their way as I can't wait to start sharing my gifts with you!
