Constructing

Today I'm constructing. I haven't been as diligent as I wanted with my knitting. But I'm trying to make up for lost time. It's a gorgeous day. We just had a little sun shower and now it's back to the warm breeze. Beautiful day to craft.
I'm nearly finished with two, yep two projects and all I need to do it construct them. Then it's on to the fun part...modeling pics! I will stay up all night if I need to to finish this dress by tomorrow. It's long overdue!

I also got my new equipment the end of last week. I'm now a Canon girl. Still Olympus girl at heart too. :) This is the new Canon T3i/600D and I've had a crush on it since I first laid eyes on it. I swear I believe this camera was made with me in mind! Believe it or not, this is the second time I've purchased this exact model. The first time I purchased it, I returned it because I just couldn't let my Olympus go. I love that camera too. My Olympus Pen brought out the creativity in me. However, I'm not really a collector. Something would gather dust. Something very expensive would gather dust. So after a while I remembered why I wanted to switch to this camera and I sold my other system first and then puchased this one. I had no choice now. The other one was off to another good home. I've never missed a camera before. I miss my Pen system, but my new baby is cushioning the blow big time! Trust me. A year from now you will not be getting another post of a new camera that I've purchased. We'll be together for quite some time!

That looks like a great camera! I still just have a point and shoot, but I'd love to have a nice, quality camera like yours. Have fun with it.

Thank you Beverly. It is a very nice camera. I still carry my P&S with me everywhere in my handbag. I will always have a P&S. Point & shoots of today are pretty advanced, quality cameras also.

DSLRs are not for everyone. You really have to be interested in them. It's an expensive investment and a lot of learning. Heck, it's another hobby! LOL! But since you are clearly interested in one, put the word out Beverly. Maybe Santa will bring you one this year. ;)
