Jobs getting done

Its not been an eventful day really, just the usual weekend things you tend to do. We got the carpet fitted in ML room today and it looks great, changes the whole look of the room. I scrubbed kitchen cupboards in and out must of been on a mission i think, housework is not my number 1 favourite.

More cards arrived in the post for my husbands birthday tomorrow, so stashed them away. Ive bought him a new hands free kit the 3rd one, i may add as he seems to have the knack of losing them would you believe. I've told him this is the last one now hahhaha. They dont come cheap either some of them.

Im waiting patiently for my telephoto lens, they have said delivery in 10 days its been 5 so far and counting. In the mean time i have been messing and practising with my maro lens at home and trying it on the tripod too, the effect and quality of the pictures are amazing. Im really getting into this photography lark.
I have lots of books from the library too, to help me along and i've jotted down little notes for when im out and about with my camera.

Here are a few experimental shots with my macro lens:

Brain not in gear

I've been considering for a while to start a blog but just not been brave enough, ive been following a few of them and must say how much i have enjoyed it.
Well i here goes, i have been married to a great bloke for 4 years in August. I have 5 kids, ages ranging from 21 down to 2 years only the youngest two are at home now.
We have moved around alot over the years and have now settled into this area where we have been since October 2007.
I have various hobbies which i enjoy including reading a variety of books, cross stitch, computers, photography, drawing, car boots to name but a few.
My most recent are photography and embroidery embellishment im really enjoying both.


The day seems to have gone soo slow today, my husband went off to work to do some repairs for his company, i did wonder why he went as the weather here was not too great. He text me an hour later saying he was turning back as the roads were getting worse.
After bringing breakfast back with him a latte and sausage and egg muffin(been a while since i had one) we went into town to collect his phone as it had been repaired.

We decided to find somewhere where i could take pictures as recently i have taken my camera with me alot afraid of missing a good shot or 2!! We found a park and had a wander round with our little girl who i will call ML who is 2, she was shouting snow snow.
I got what looked like great pictures and was very pleased with myself we wandered a bit further and L slipped and ended hands first in a muddy, slushy puddle and was black haha, she was drenched therefore or outing was cut short but i did get pictures of a mucky girl too!!!

We got home i was eager to check my pictures out, discovered i had not put my memory card back from when i last transferred my pictures to the pc argggggg. I was soo annoyed and could of kicked myself but hopefully i have learnt a valid lesson today.
