Ramblings and Op shop finds...

Ive just been fooling around with the zoom on the new camera. Ive never been able to take great close ups before so this is a real treat.

In other news check out these goodies I found at the local op shop

I love the detail is this little plate.

Have a great day. Im off to craft!

Brown Owls, Something in the post and this is....

A great night was had by all last night at the inaugural brown owls meeting.
We all got busy turning our hand to stitching. While some of the gang were obviously old hands, many of us were new to the craft. Go to the flickr group to check out the pics.
It was also lovely to meet some bloggers face to face. Amongst them retro mummy, loobylu, and curly pops to name a few. Pip & co did a fantastic job of providing a warm, cosy atmosphere for all of us. It was lots of fun and its not to late to join in!


In other news, this arrived in my mailbox late last week. My little purchase from leah's shop. I'm not exactly sure what I'll use it for yet but I have a few ideas running through my head.



And finally this weeks "This is" theme was . . . Me Taking A Picture of Myself In the Mirror With My Favourite Accessory.



So this is me, my new toy (camera) and my ring (Christmas present from Gorgeous hubby). Its not a great shot of the ring (my photography skills still leave alot to be desired - despite new camera!) but trust me its devine.
Have a great week!

Latest Project...

I borrowed the idea from an article in Real Living magazine.
I picked the frame up from a place selling old windows and doors just near Winchelsea.



With a fair bit of sanding and cleaning it became...



I want to fill all the frames but Im waiting to get just the right pictures. I'll update you guys again when its complete.

In other news, this weeks "This is" theme (from one red robin) is proving to be a challenge. Ive never posted a pic of myself before and Im not really sure if Im up to it. Lets see what the next few days brings.

Also the first Brown Owl meeting is not far away... only 3 more sleeps.
Cheers

In other news, I joined Brown Owls today and also dropped over my hearts to Mikes. I was pretty short on time, but it was nice to get up close and personal instead of viewing from afar.

Enjoy your week everyone.
