All kinds of new!

If you're looking for the One World - One Heart giveaway you'll have to scroll down a few posts!
Okay...

New work, new photos, new CAMERA! I went a little wild the other day and charged a new camera, you know, trying to do my part to stimulate the economy. I didn't really need a new camera but it was calling my name. It's a Canon Powershot G10. I did all sorts of research and it was very highly rated. A lot of pros were saying that they use this camera when they want to have fun and not lug around a bunch of expensive equipment. I have just touched the tip of the iceberg with this thing, it's really amazing. I went from 5 megapixels to 14.7. I said it, 5 to almost 15!

So here's an example, right out of the box, indoors, flash on.



Same photo now look at the close up, you can see the hairs on the cat's tongue and the salivia string! Cool, huh?



There are so many manual features on this camera, it's going to take me awhile to figure it all out. I took several years of photography in high school but it's hard to remember it all again.

So, I was busy yesterday painting and finishing up a few pieces that I started ages ago. My DH had the day off of school since it snowed.
So in honor of Valentine's Day I created a lovely pink painted pony called "Muzzle Nuzzle".



And I finished a wooden box for the EHAG winter challenge with a snow witch out for a chilly sleigh ride with her white cats and horse.
Here's a look at the top on the box...


Both pieces will be on Ebay sometime today. I have the kiddo all to myself this afternoon and she doesn't like me to work on the computer so I have to sneak it in (like right now, shhh!).
