cool chickie

This is something I saw at the store and loved. But I really don't have a use or place for it. But by taking a photo of it, I can have this cool image with me!

shoes i don't need

It's been about one week since I saw these flippies at T.J. Maxx and was dying to have them. The black and pink Ralph Lauren's are adorable, not to mention my favorite colors. But I already have so many flippies, black ones, pink ones, I don't need anymore. I'm glad I waited, this delay thing, and getting it out of my system by keeping a photo of it on my iPhone really did the trick!

more things i wanted to buy but shot instead

Here are some more items I have seen in stores and wanted to buy!
I'm really into nests (maybe it's the brown and the pretty blue combination that i love) so when I was at the craft store I took this pic of a nest. also took these other photos of beautiful things and made the floral photos my screensaver on my iPhone.

pretty things

I decided that instead of buying the pretty things I see in the stores, I will just take a photo of them so as not to forget their beauty. And if I really want the item after a few weeks, I will go back and get it. But I'm finding that the photo of the beautiful thing is often enough.

living for beauty

It has been quite a while since i have last written, it"s been a few crazy work weeks since i got the new job, haven"t had much time for anything but lots of work, the weekends are really the only time i get to socialize so instead of doing crafty things, i want out of the house! but i miss my creative stuff so much, i have to find a way to fit it in, the beauty of the things i can create is what gets me out of bed some days, at least today an image of a rain photo that i had in my head got me out of bed, it gave me that spark i needed to move.

testing out my digital expertise with new camera

The camera I got in the mail from my credit card company (for charging enough 'points') probably isn't going to do the job. Like my friend Ashe suggested weeks ago, I should just buy a good camera rather than fiddling with something mediocre. But I get intimidated easily with technological things and I felt like I should start small. For the time being I will upload my craft photos with this camera but I will be on the lookout for a better one...This photo is of a potholder I made for Ashe and his wife for the holidays. It was part of their holiday gift.

my favorite girls with my favorite hats

Okay, so here are even more photos of my hats....these are modeled by Kelsey and Sammi, my two favorite little girls. One of the hats was for Kelsey (left) on her birthday and the other hat was for my cousin Beth for her birthday. But instead of Beth modeling it, her daughter Sammi decided to model it for me.
