Here she is people....

...and this is the last image you'll need to endure from my old Cannon 2.0 megapixel A40. The new addition to the family is the Fujifilm Fine Pix S5800. She has 8.0 megapixel and 10x optical zoom. I'm off to play!
Have a great weekend.

Hearts for Mirabel

Other exciting news this week
1. I splurged on a new camera - I should take hold of it in the next few days. Will hold back on the details until it arrives.
2. Zoe starts in Grade 1 tommorow.
3. Meg starts 3 y.o kinder on Friday.
4. I started back at work today ( After 6 weeks on "holiday's" with the kids - any break is exciting!)

Ciao
ps Thanks for the lovely comments encouraging me to stay off the dreaded ciggy's. So far so good!

This is ......what scares me

After smoking 25 cigs a day for the past 25 years its hard to know what I'm more fearful of - giving up or not being able to give up!

Anyway I'm into day 4 at the moment - so far so good.

Ive had to post early this week as off to Albury tommorow to visit dear friends for the long weekend.

To see what scares everyone else visit Angela's blog.

Have a good weekend all.

This is....

Ive jumped on the This is... bandwagon. Thanks to Angela for hosting.

This is my favorite cup. Im a tea drinker, but this is not your average tea cup.

Elements of a good cup:

1. It must have a base not much narrower than its top,

2. It must be thin rimmed

3. It should be white on the inside.

Oh and this is what my Cathedral Quilt has become! I added the buttons to cover up my corners (they were no where near as neat as Leah's)

Have a good week everyone.

Fabulous Friday

There's nothing like a little playdough fun on Friday. Meggy loves the stuff. I'm also partial to this jumper she's wearing. Its a gorgeous 'hand me down' from a good friend. The roman blind is completed and just waiting for gorgeous hubby to find the right size piece of wood for the batten. Stay tuned for pics - hopefully this weekend.

Have a great weekend.

Spotlight Specials and Camera Help Wanted!

I had to go to Spotlight on Monday to pick up a couple of bits and pieces for the roman blind Im making. Little did I know it was 20% off store wide. So I couldnt resist the temptation to pick this lot up for @$2.00 p/metre!

Now I just need to find some time to sew!

Btw I found my camera. Now I kinda wish I didnt. I was hoping to upgrade. I have a relatively old Canon Powershot A40. Im really struggling to get crisp images from it. (Perhaps its your photographic skill or lack of it....I hear you say). Perhaps your right. I'd really love to hear what type of digital cameras others have and how they find them. Please post me with your reviews. I hope your having a good week.
