New Camera

I'll start off this years Project 365 with my new toy. Brian got me a new camera for Christmas. My old one was a PowerShot and I really liked it. This one has a few more bells and whistles and a "superzoom". I'm looking forward to taking some great shots with this.

My Gloves

These are my gloves. I use them for everything from gardening to helping Bri with construction projects. This particular pair is getting very worn and I really need to get a new pair, but they are just right, like an old pair of comfy slippers.

Brian tells me these are not everyday ladies garden gloves, but serious working gloves. I don't know about that, but this "lady" uses them almost everyday.

Canon PowerShot A630

I did not take this pictures, but I wanted to share with everyone my new camera. I am really having fun with it and like it a lot. It is a step up from my old camera, but not a large, really fancy one. It has an articulating LCD screen, which makes it nice for taking odd angle shots. It is easy to use in the AUTO mode, but has some nice manual features that make it fun to play with. I have not been thrilled so far with the software that it uses, but it is very easy to use other programs.

Pretty pots

These two lovely pots were giving to me by my good friend Lisa B. from Maine, for my birthday. Thanks Lisa, I love them and can't wait to put something wonderful and green in them.

They look like teacups put are actually plant pots! I think I'm going to plant some herbs in them and put them on my kitchen window sill!

Day 80 - Teacup

This is the lovely teacup that my secret prayer sister from church gave me this week. I enjoy collecting teacups and this is a very lovely addition to my collection.

Day 68 - "Light" - 3/9

This is my Ott-light. For those of you that don't craft at all, it is a full spectrum light that makes working on any type of hand work easier. My darling husband bought me this light. It has been such a blessing. I love to cross-stitch and this little light makes it so much more comfortable on my eyes to work. As a side note I think the hours I work under it has helped my winter blues. Now perhaps that is because I can work longer doing something I enjoy, but I also think the full spectrum light helps my mood.

Day 62 - "Reading" - 3/3

I have been working very hard on a stitching project the last few weeks, so I haven't had as much time to read in the evenings as I usually do. I've just discovered audio books, well not really just discovered as I obviously knew about them before, but I just thought of the idea. I don't know why I haven't done this before, but I started listening to books on CD while I stitch. It works out perfect, I still get my "reading" in, but can still work on my projects.

This picture is of the audio book section of our little library. We also have access to an extensive audio collection through our regional system. I am really enjoying this!

Day 60 - Willow Tree - 3/1

I love the Willow Tree figurines. This "Garden Angel" sits in my computer "cubby" and was given to me by a secret sister from church. She looks like she is contemplating something deep, maybe the arrival of spring.
