Not Much Stitching....

I love having my dh home, but he's really cutting into my stitching time! :) Matthew being sick hasn't really helped matters either. He's been waking up very early around 4 or 5 am crying and coughing. This morning he woke throwing up a little because of all the phlegm. The poor guy. Waking up so early has left me exhausted at night. I've been going to sleep around 9 pm. I do have some good news. My husband checked out my wish list on Amazon and he actually bought me something from it. I was so shocked, I never thought I would get it. It came yesterday and he let me open in early.



It's a Nikon D40. I just can't tell you how much I love this camera and how much I have to learn about it. I've been experimenting with all the different settings. Here are some pictures I took of the kids...







And some pictures of my stitching...



I'm still experimenting with what's the best setting for taking pictures of my stitching. I think good lighting is key. Some of you may notice the fob - I kept one for myself too! :)



Well, I've got to finish getting Bradley ready for school. Write later! Hopefully with some stitching progress to share! :)

  11. Great present from your DH. My DH and I got one at the end of summer this year. It is the first camera we have had that DH can take a picture with without cutting off heads or it being fuzzy. He loves it. Hope you get some stitching time soon.
    Happy stitching,
    Annette
