New photographs

Gerbera I love flower photography, especially macros of fowers. I don’t have a macro lens yet, so I’m just having to make do with my kit lens. But the photos do turn out pretty good even if it’s not a real macro lens :) I’m planning to buy the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. I was planning to buy it in a couple of weeks, cause I’m having some money coming in, but I don’t think I can afford it after all… But there’s no harm in pracitcing with my kit lens for now, so after I went to the gym yesterday I decided to stop by the flower shop on my way home, to see if they had any nice flowers. I found a yellow and red Gerbera and bought it to practice taking flower shots :) I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out, and I’m thinking of making a new layout with them. Not quite yet though, need to set up more of the site and get bored with this layout first.

Snow crystals And today, as the lovely Sunday it is, I went for a walk in the sunshine and took some photos of the cold weather and snow. I have realized that I love Sundays. They are so calm, no shops are open, only cafés, there are no parties to go to, just spend the day relaxing :) I might not be as positive about Sundays if it hadn’t been for the fact that the past three Sundays have had really great sunny weather though  ;)

I’ve also made a new quilt layout! I’m really happy with it, it’s the first time I’ve made such an effort into the layout for my quilt. I’ve usually just had a small pop up window and used one of the free backgrounds offered at the Q*bee. But this time I decided to make a “real” layout :up: I also think I need to find some new smilies, they are really cute, but it’s too difficult to see the different emotions in them…  :dissapoint:

Too embarrassing

This is something I’ve never been able to understand. Talk shows like Oprah sometimes have these “ask the doctor” episodes, nothing wrong with that, you can get answers to some interesting questions. But they always say “ask the questions you’re to embarrased to ask your own doctor”. I mean… “I think this is too embarrassing to discuss with my doctor, so I will ask it on a TV show shown all over the world”, I don’t get the logic here… :?: I don’t mind these shows though, I find it interesting, and I get answers to questions I’d never dare ask my doctor, or things I never really think about.

I’ve uploaded my tutorial on how to vexel skin, so check it out if you wanna learn, try a new technique or get some new tips, or just check it out anyway :p My quilt is also pretty much finished, I’ve uploaded the activities and awards I’ve gotten. There is currently a valentine’s activity going on at the q*bee right now, I’m not sure if I’m gonna participate though, not feeling the romantic/valentine mood these days… But maybe I will join later, and give love to my bee friends instead :cute: I also added the CommentLuv plugin, so when you leave a comment your blog  post will be linked at the bottom :)
