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
August 8 - October 28, 2014

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.

Winter Wonderland is gorgeous! Your new fabric stash is lovely. I just finished a Lizzie*Kate kit that included the EEK fabric. Your dogs are so cute. Have fun with your new camera.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric aquisitions.
Enjoy your new camera.
