Dreaming of Warmer Weather

I recently contemplated adding another vessal to my ever growing fleet of cameras. Since I am still trying to master my old school twin lens reflex camera I decided that another man on board could cause a conflict and result in serious neglect. If there were more hours in the day however, I would experiment with the lomo camera. It's effect is reminiscent of vintage photographs, saturated colors and just lots of fun. As a sweet compromise I have spent some time playing around with photoshop (after all it's winter and I don't really want to be outside that much) and this is what I came up with, before and after. Here's to waiting for warmer weather...

Not even a month...

Just wondering how the New Year's resolutions are going for everyone else. This cupcake is speaking to me saying "I dare you". But, no, no I'm not going to give in to you, temptation.

That worked until my Mom brought me her chocolate chip cookies...so much better than store bought cupcakes. Ugh (by ugh, I really mean yummm).

Just to give you an idea of how good these are: our Vet will ask for the cookies instead of money!

Taste of Spring

We are busy gearing up for the Spring season. Looking forward to some new fabrics and new bags. Here's a taste of the Sac O'Potatoes, one of our new styles. This great "slouch" bag is perfect for just about anything you need to transport, including a sack of potatoes!

This Year....

new year, new decade, new resolutions::

laugh more
rush less
find beauty in the everyday
send more letters
finish projects that I have started
make more time for family and friends
be more organized
spend more time outdoors
donate more of my time to help others
be happy with the little moments

What are you inspired to do this year? New dreams, new motivations? Try writing them down and refer back periodically. Set goals that are achievable and strive to exceed them. Most of all remember to smile and enjoy the day! Happy New Year to you!

Dreaming

This is one of my favorite pictures of Miss Taylor. I wonder what she's dreaming about? Maybe a huge open field with all the tennis balls she could ever want. Maybe she's dreaming of tonight's dinner and hoping for a serious spill (like the scallops that fell off the plate last night). Or maybe she's thinking about a good long car ride that she can navigate. One thing's for sure, she is standing guard, even in her sleep, so that Clover doesn't steal her toy.
