Guess who got a BEAUTIFUL camera for her birthday!?! Me!! I am still learning my way around my Cannon Rebel, but holy amazing — it is so much nicer than a point and shoot camera. I am in love.
I spent a few hours outside this weekend working on my lamp project that I shared yesterday and snapping photos of my pup and our neighbors’ pup. These two are simply hilarious together.
These photos were all shot at f-stop 3.5
These two are the best of friends — it’s always fun when they play together.
I am in a creative rut. I think it is partially because it’s winter, partially because my craft room is a mess (which I am slowly fixing), and partially because I am trying to cook healthier foods, which requires so much freakin’ time. Either way, my creative juices are not flowing. So lame.
Between bathing my stinky dog…
… trying out bread recipes (some good, some disgusting)…
… putting away gifts from Christmas (yes, still working on that in my craft room)…
… and playing with this guy in the snow…
Well, I just haven’t had time to do anything it seems. I guess everyone goes through a rut every once in a while, but boy is it annoying. (Side note… is r-u-t actually how you spell “rut?” Merriam-Webster doesn’t seem to think this word means what I think it means. According to them, rut: an annually recurrent state of sexual excitement in the male deer; broadly : sexual excitement in a mammal especially when periodic. … Interesting.)
In other news, I’ve got a bunch of fun new stuff to work with. I spent a while unravelling thread from some old, wooden spools the other day. I can’t decide what I want to do with them quite yet, but they sure are charming. I am also fully stocked on glitter, as I showed you earlier. That should be fun to work with.
Well, that’s all. I wanted to explain what was going on in my idea-filled-but-inspiration-lacking brain.
Also, is it Spring yet?
Maybe a new post about crafts tomorrow if I can give myself the kick in the butt I need to be creative again.
Guess who got snow last night!?!?! WE DID!
While it wasn’t that much snow, it was the perfect amount to blanket the ground and make our house look so pretty and plenty of snow to make traffic horrendous. But that’s OK.
It was also the perfect amount for SNOW DOG.
Remmy loves the snow. Love. Love. Love. He would have stayed outside all day if I would have let him.
And the best part is when he does come back inside from playing in the snow, it gives him a doggie high and he runs around the house with snow on his muzzle like a crazy man.
Yes, that blur of a dog is my crazy, crazy boy.
Basically, snow is dog crack. Well, for Remmy at least.
He is such a pretty snow dog. And he might be in luck because I think Maryland might be getting some more snow tomorrow! #winning
