my dad went to NYC...

...and all I got was this lousy t-shirt! lol! but I do look pretty darn cute in it.

dog parka

seriously?

telephoto

one of my birthday gifts was a new camera lens. it's a 75-300mm telephoto lens. below (left) is the maximum zoom on my 55mm lens and on the right is the extreme zoom on my new lens. awesome.

and, of course, no photo post is complete without a dog shot.

wrist art

here's the first wrist band i finished earlier in the week. mixed up all the new stitches i learned. added some buttons and presto! i did another, more complicated one but i'll have to add it tomorrow. want to get a good photo in the sunlight.

here it is laying flat. i'm a little disappointed with the picture quality lately of the camera. i usually take photos outside but with the weather being what it is, i've had to resort to indoor photo sessions and the lighting doesn't do anything justice. meaning, it looks way better in person. it probably doesn't help that we've been taking the camera on all our snow excursions. and it's been dropped a few times. i'll have to look into better techniques or invest in a stay-at-home camera.

this week i concentrated on working on a swap where the sendout is monday. yes, i bit the bullet and signed up for one again. it's an owl swap. i finished and mailed everything today. hopefully my partner receives soon so i can post all the "owlie" goodness i made. look for photos early next week.
