Spring, a time to renew, start fresh!

My poor blog over here all by itself, lonely and neglected. So many times I popped over quickly but felt so overwhelmed by how far I let things slide.






A couple of new clutches, one made from a vintage linen table cloth! I think these are nice colours for spring. It is hard to not feel spurred on by all the new beginnings around this time of year. Finally I felt compelled to just pick up, dust off and jump back in to where I left off. No sense trying to back track to redo, just pick up where I am now. Simple, but refreshing!

It's that time of year again

Christmas is just around the corner. It seems to come faster every year. Grace is also having her birthday just next week! This means that my blog and other online presense has been very neglected.I'll get back into it soon enough though.

topaz again

This is an unaltered picture out of my camera. Pretty dang good actually considering the horrible lighting in there. That is another story about my new lens. Anyways, This picture does need some cleaning up, there is some noise happening and who doesnt like a little skin smoothing/evening out? This is after runing the picture through a plugin for photoshop called topaz labs. It was one click, all the noise is gone! Click on each picture to see it full size to really see the magic happen! I can hardly wait to see what it can do when I actually read the directions!
