I won a blog give-a-way! Woo!
The lovely Juliana from Knittiana sent this all the way from Germany. The Lace Style book along with a beautiful card, gorgeous hand dyed sock yarn from her friend at The Yarn Yard and vintage glass buttons. I feel mighty lucky right now.
In other goodies- look who got a new camera! YEAY! All the photos on this site have been taken using a 5-6 year old 3.2 mpx point-and-shoot and I feel I had stretched that camera to its limit. Plus the thing was heavy enough to cause me to forgo bringing it traveling and out & about. The new one is a Canon Powershot SD750, great for photos of friends and with nice enough options to handle my other photography until I can save up for my real baby- a Nikon D80 hehe.
Playing with the new toy I was amused to discover, after messing with settings, the sound for the 2 second timer delay was a dog howling (countdown) and a bark (for shutter release) much to Aejaz's disquiet.
Dabbling with the Macro function and my flourishing Marigold's (That I grew form seed! I'm disproportionately proud of this).
Now I just need to get around to some actual knitting to photograph, heh.
You got a write up in July's Simply Knitting!!
I would be seriously pleased with myself if I grew that marigold from seed, too! Wow! Congrats on the blog give away, and hte new camera!
Congratulations on the blog give away. Looking forward to seeing what you make from the book.
That's a great haul you won there - I'd love to have any single one of those scrummy things!
Yay for new cameras! They are fun to play around with.
Congrats on the win! What a great prize.
Congratulations on your win and your new camera! New toys are fun.
Congrats on the win and the new camera! I had my eye on one of these babies, too, until I got John's hand-me-down Rebel XT (he bought the newer model).
Congrats on everything! The camera, the blog contest, your gardening skill... I am crazily proud of things that I grow, too. But for your green thumb, that plant wouldn't be there =) By the way, your hair looks great!
