And Then IT Happened!

And then it happened. Three years of photo's wiped clean of my computer and external hard drive!!!

Just when I was ready to get back at blogging. Right......I never printed any photos. I cried, and now we start again.  This photo is the garden I am working towards, on a much smaller scale. Love it!

Catching up - April 2011

We have had a News Paper route! Three girls, three routes. We lasted 5 months. It was very time consuming, more after school activities were added to our schedule, in the end I delivered to all three routes! On the plus side - We repainted all the white trim work in our house due to black news print finger marks Everywhere!

What the HECK!

Snow - again!

I was hoping to start taking photo of my spring garden, not a winter garden.

Even the poor garden fairy looks exhausted holding that snow.

 This photo (below) was under exposed when I took it, so I quickly beefed it up but I think I went too far too fast - right now SNOW is not my favorite subject - I will now delete this photo from my files.

Kensington Market

Hey Guys, 

I spend today in the city with some photography friends. The 4 of us drove to China town and then walked the streets to Kensington Market. We had a great lunch in a Mexican Restaurant named El Trompo at 277 Augusta Avenue . I tried a drink called "Horcahta (made from rice, vanilla, cinnamon and a bit of milk) ohh it was soo good. Any who here are just a few of the photos I took - I am always learning and my friends were nice enough to try to teach more about taking photos.......so much to learn.

I love all the colours in this small space.

 These bricks are a great back drop

 I love the shadow here.

 Sweet skirts

I can't wait til the next outing.

Am I Crazy?

 Am I Crazy?

This couch is sitting on the neighbour's front porch and....... I love it! 

I love it - I see soo much potential.

Its a beautiful red velvet with wonderful wood detail. Can you imagine it re-upholstered in linen and the wood painted white. It has 4 cushions so I would re-design it to be 3 but keep the the same puckered back (proper terminology ???). I bet it would be a pretty penny to have re-upholstered.

 It looks super long ~ I took the photos from the sidewalk so I haven't had the up close and personal look yet.

 

 I think it could look something like this.

Cake

Let them eat cake.

Looky looky what the girls made, they made their first fondant cake.

It's much like playing with play-doh - so much fun.  

For the first attempt I think it turned out great, a little thick but non the less it's a show stopper.
