Project 112....

And it's this project that completes my commitment for 112 projects in 2012 with the ravelry group of the same name!
All my projects can be found in my thread http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/112-in-2012/1958126/1-25
I'm quite stoked and it's so fun to keep track of what you've been making throughout the year all in one spot....of course I've heaps more projects that will be finished before the year is out but it's fun to know I made it!!!

Photography....

I love taking pictures with my camera........what started as a way to show others (namely my Grandma) what I had been making or doing has become a fun and interesting way to document my life, children and the smallest things I see as I wander through each day.
I don't have a fancy camera.....nothing special but I guess I'm not really into the complicated side of things more the preservation of a memory and time. When I take photos of my craft and children I may fiddle a little with the pics in photoscape, adding fancy borders or sharpening etc but my nature shots are just as they are - I think that's important! Of course I do have to crop and resize the nature pics and maybe add a simple border but that's it.

One of my fav pics I've taken.........

This little guy lives in a tree near our vege garden

Sunflower - I can't wait til more open and I can show off a sea of yellow....
