It's Time to Put My Feet Up!!!




I see this is my first post in over a year.

My excuse: My intention was to start taking photos to inspire my quilting. You will notice the previous posts are 100% quilting. I have completely fallen off the quilting bandwagon. Money (and time) that went into quilting has been diverted to photography. For those of you considering photography I have one warning - It's more expensive than quilting!!

When summer comes, time evaporates and I have precious little of it for anything except company, camping, BBQ's, swimming, mini-vacations to visit friends in various beautiful spots and frantically trying to squeeze work in between the cracks. I confess I look forward to September when the time crunch miraculously disappears.

Tomorrow I am going on a 3 day photo retreat/workshop to Cathedral Lakes with my friend Anita who has just returned from Saudi after a 3 year absence. We haven't had a chance to spend much time together since our last meeting in the Philippines. I think the instructor is focusing on nature photograpy. Secretly I am looking forward to the rocks and I think Anita is just looking forward to a kid free few days. My camera battery is charged and I have 2 empty 8GB memory cards to fill. But for today...work is calling.

Now that I've resurrected this blog maybe I'll start quilting again!!! Or...maybe I'll just post a few of my favourite pics when I don't have time to do the rounds on flickr.
