thank you

Wow you guys!  I can hardly believe it.  Thank you so much.  I am both flattered and grateful. 

Maybe now I might start to believe I'm a little better than "just ok" with a camera. ;)  Honestly, I still feel like somewhat of a hack.  I only ever took one photography class once ... and that was over 20 years ago!  My favourite blogs are the ones that grab me by the eyeballs and don't let go - I know you know what I mean.  So I try very hard to give you something pretty to feast on in return.  It's very nice to know I'm getting it right.

But to my eye, there is still room for improvement and I will keep trying to get better, so you will keep coming back here to visit me. :)

We all are so proud of you, Kristyne. You inspire us to do a better job on our projects. You are full of good ideas; you helped me with that library program with the English Paper Piecing, which is on hold now.

I started blogging at the end of the summer. And before that, I read over 200 blogs, but followed only ones I thought did a great job at informing, inspiring, teaching and providing great visuals-photography or art. You really deserved this!! I'm very excited for you and can't wait to see what you will do next.

Sew Deerly Giveaway competition. I have made several Christmas presents so far including a set of pieced and quilted placemats, a needlecase, a log carrier, a ballgown for an 18" Journey Girl doll plus evening bag, headdress, wrap, and shoes to go with it (for my youngest granddaughter). I am currently working on tree ornaments for my family which I personalise and decorate elaborately with beads and sequins. A single bed quilt for my youngest grandson is being planned right now!
