Dragons............
Here is the ceramic dragon Laurence painted today.............my friend Shawna gave them to me for the boys to paint.....I think Laurie did a GREAT job with this.....there are several others to be painted as well as this...Chris started one but didn't do much.....he will finish on Wednesday......
contemplating...............
I am not sure if this style of photography is what I want to do......this style of 'business' is not making me happy. I am losing my love of taking pictures......I do NOT want to do weddings but I also do not really want to do family/ child photography......
What do I want to do? I want to go back to taking my landscape portraits, my sunsets, my pictures of hoar frost on barbed wire......of hay bales in late August.....
But where is the market for that? How do you sell your work like that?
How?????
Should I frame them and sell at farmers markets? Do I try art galleries? I have no idea how to begin with that kind of business...............
But I am NOT happy doing so many family pictures or children......I could still do the occasional one for people who ask......just not advertise.............
I want to find my 'thing'...........my 'niche'........................
I don't know....maybe its because I am ill right now......maybe its the weather.........but I am just not loving this portrait photography.......it isn't my 'thing' and I miss the freedom and creativeness I get from my pictures of flowers and snowy trees and sunsets over lakes..........
I feel a little like I've given up too easily but it just wasn't working for me..........
Thoughts anyone?

Glittery fireworks display................
You put a blob of glue on the paper and then blow through the straw so the glue shoots out in all directions.....and then add glitter :)
Abigail and Susannah really enjoyed this craft today..........
A piggin' cup of tea.....................
Charlie enjoys a nice cup of tea last night.....................and then says hi to Abigail..............
Monday....
My cold is now a sinus infection and is yucky..........still, I am feeling better than last week.....this morning we hada mass craft session....the boys started work on their ceramic dragons....the girls used glue and straws to blow firework shapes on black cardstock....they then sprinkled them with glitter to create amazing firework displays.........Susannah LOVED this and made several which are now decorating the house...this is all based on our Guy Fawkes theme........
Abigail then wanted to paint a dragon so instead of ceramics she painted a picture of a dragon............
Its 1:18pm and I haven't eaten yet today...I really should.
I washed all the floors and soretd a ton of laundry today......that it for chores really but I did do a lot yesterday so the house is clean and tidy....
This afternoon the girls are decorating Christmas cards............the boys are working on various projects.......
I started reading Mitch Alboms book 'For One More Day'........I love the simple way he writes and so far the book is excellent....I loved his other two best sellers too.......
I have no truck today as Lloyd has it....I guess I could use his car to pop somewhere but I won't bother...roads are not great as it snowed all night again.......there was a 27 car pile up on Calgary Trail early this morning.....12 injured no fatalities luckily.......
Lloyd has my truck because he took Rosie to the vets this morning - she has been spayed, had her microchip inserted and had her bloodwork done......Lloyd called them a short while ago and she is sick from the anaesthetic so we have to call at 3pm to see how she is doing and whether she can come home today.....poor little girly.......Amber is feeling lost without her.....I don't think Amber considers Charlie the pig as a good replacement friend lol......
Lunch is calling.........
