A New Camera, Some Stitchin' and Some Hound Snaps

Gentle Friends, my camera arrived last night at 6:11 pm and I tore into the box like some maniacal crazy person.  I knew the first thing I had to do was get the battery charged and that's what I did, plugged that sucker in......  the camera I chose this time was a larger version of the Elph, a Cannon SX510 PowerShot.  It has many of the same functions and abilities of my last cameras, the main difference is that I can tke much closer shots of things with a lot less trouble.  Here's a snap from the web....

... so I'm basically back up and running.....

I finished up "Winter Wonderland this week and here's a snap...  as you can see I changed the fenestration and the roof lines, I made them all even and more in keeping with the Georgian architecture.....
 "Winter Wonderland" Loose feathers # 39 - Blackbird Designs
Mystery 36ct piece of Linen from stash, and mostly the called for over dyed floss

The mail brought the linen I had ordered from PTP, and they are just lovely and so worth the wait.  Next year (and I'll buy again, I love their linen!!)  I'll just know that it can take a very looong time to arrive....  here they are..
   from l to r - Wren, Relic and Eek!  I already have plans for Eek! next year, and the other two pieces go into the stash heap.

It wouldn't be a Friday if I didn't try and get a snap or two of the hounds......

 .... here's Miss Peach..... and....

... the hounds that rule at my sister's house.... Samson and Lila, two of the sweetest Boxers ever!!

  16. I have to tell you a funny story. When I saw your beautiful stitched "Winter Wonderland" I loved it instantly. I took a break. Went to pull a chart by BBD because I was placing my birthday order and wanted some threads. Guess what? I found my chart of Winter Wonderland!!! I didn't recall that I had it. I was so thrilled and surprised. I did order some fabric & threads for it too! Thank you for sharing your beautiful sampler. I can't wait to get my order:) love Annette
