A Little More Progress
Remember this…my work in progress… There has been a little progress…my project sitting on top of the yarn in one of my little Ikea baskets. I guess I could have tidied up the yarn a bit before I took this. 😐 Moving right along….although I would have had a little more completed if I didn’t have to pull a few rows out. It is what happens when you try and crochet late at night when you are sleepy. 🙂

Progress Stalled
I began to work on my handbag camera bag when I ran into a snag. It seems the Velcro I had for attaching the dividers was the wrong type for the material I am using. Back to the drawing board….or I should say back to the store to pick up something different. I have all the foam sized and cut for the inside….I have the material cut for the foam covering. I can’t cover the foam until I get the new Velcro because some will have to be sewn on before I cover the foam. Sigh….progress stalled.

As Promised….
I had made myself a promise that I was going to finish various things I have started recently. One being the trunk I bought last year at a garage sale. I really didn’t like the trunk as it was…..one of my daughters thought it was alright….the other had no real opinion. Me ~ I had specific ideas for that trunk when I bought it ~ it has just taken a while for it to come to fruition. It still isn’t quite complete, but moving along. I wanted to show you before and after……. Before…..brown with a yucky plastic liner. I ventured to guess this had been stuck away in some one’s garage for…

HDR Technique ~ I Remembered!
I actually remembered this evening that I had said I would share the HDR technique I discovered earlier this week. See…she can be taught. 🙂 To do this technique, you will need to be able to open your jpeg or raw files in ACR ~ Adobe Camera Raw. This plug-in comes with my version of PSE7….I can’t vouch for other versions though. It is best to try this with landscapes or similar images until you have used it for some time. If opening a jpeg file, you will need to select file>open as>and select your file. Raw files can be opened with file>open. This tutorial is probably more suited for individuals that have some…

Experimenting
I’m fascinated with HDR photos. For those that may not be familiar with what exactly that is…..check out this Flickr group to see some of the many photos posted on there. The definition of HDR as per Wikipedia….. In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminance’s between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.…

Rain Maker….
…..bring us some rain. I made a discovery earlier this week….for a mere $40 I would learn how to make a rain barrel with the barrel and conversion hardware supplied. This is a class provided by the Hampton Master Gardeners and the City of Hampton several times each spring. I signed myself up and off to Bluebird Gap Farm I went. They had a short class prior to barrel making on water conservation and recycling. Afterwards we went outside and proceeded to make our rain barrels….. My 55 gallon olive barrel from Spain with conversion hardware. The holes are pre-drilled prior to our arrival. Using nuts, washers and caulk, the faucet is installed…
