Week 2: The town Library

Hey Guys! It's Thursday again so here is another photo post!!

I have been meaning to go to my towns library fro a few weeks now and I finally got around to going there.
I used to go their on "field trips" in elementary school and I used to think it was sooo big, but going in there now it feels really small. I still love it though!!

I went in looking for the Hunger Games, or Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close but both books were out. That didn't discourage me from looking around though! I actually picked up a book, and some of you might be surprised that I haven't read it yet!

Well I took some pictures of the library I hope you like them!

Here is the Library, It is a little dark but i like the way the sky looks in it, and the hint of sun in the left corner

Here is a lighter picture of it!

here is a close up of the outside doors, I just love it!!

and here is the book I got. I have seen all the movies and loved them! I have never read the books, so here I go! I hope to like them just as much!

So what do you guys think??

Do you still visit your local Library?

Peace & Love Jme

Sew-n-Tell Friday-Infinity Scarf

Hey Everyone!!! 3 posts in one week! I'm on fire!!

I used to do sew-n-tell Fridays all the time, but then I stopped. I don't know why it was such a good motivator for me!

So I am back this week!!

This week I made myself a flannel Infinity scarf. I found the tutorial here via pinterest :) Really easy to follow tutorial, and I can't wait to make some light weight ones for spring!!

I got the Turquoise Hounds-tooth Fabric from Mardens, when I went up to Maine to visit Garrett's mom for Christmas. I love this fabric!!!

Here are some self shots of me wearing the scarf. Did you know that it is really hard to take a picture of your self in the mirror? I don't know if I should be looking through the view finder, or just holding it. So some of these shots with my face in it are pretty funny.

I hope you like it!

 A close up shot. Oh and that's my camera strap slip cover that I also made out of Flannel.

Here is one of those goof head shots. But I like it because you can see all my feather hair extensions!

Please go and check out other Friday finishes over at Amy's Blog!!!

Week 1: A Brisk Morning

Hey Everyone! It is Thursday, and I stated the other day that I would try and post a new picture from the past week every Thursday.

Well here we are week one!

I decided that I better get outside today to snap a picture because I used the ones that I snapped last weekend already in the post earlier this week. OOPS!

I needed to get some exercise in today anyways so I bundled up and took a walk with my camera. I snapped 29 photo's this morning and I am only going to share 2 with you. Oh the joys of learning how to use a DSLR. Well I think it is rather fun and like to see all the different shots even if some are FAR worse the others!

So I had a place in mind when I stepped outside this morning. About a half mile down the road there is this pond, with a great mountain view. And the sun was shining so bright it was a nice warm place to stand still for about 10 minutes! :-)

I started off standing, but didn't really like what I was taking, they looked like typical landscape shots with the sun, so I decided to get down on my knees and take the shot from a different angle.

Here is what I came up with.

I love the sun in this one, with the shadows on the ground, and the little bit of snow we have left!

I also love the sun in this one, It looks like a giant star...which it is haha, and the rock wall in the front looks mysterious. I also like that I put it in black and white!

Other ones that I took were way to bright, and not good. But I got the hang of it. 

One thing I would like to learn more about is my ISO setting. I know the basics about what it means, and everything, but I would like to know more.

I hope you enjoyed my pictures! Hopefully I will be back next week!!

Peace & Love J-me

January

Hey Guys, So I haven't been keeping up with my goal of posting at least once every two weeks. So I'm going to try to do that again! I'm thinking that maybe every Friday I will try and post a favorite photo from the week before.. we will see though!

But  here are some pictures from the month of January, and a few at the end from this weekend on my walk with Garrett. I hope you enjoy them!!!

Garrett and I went to visit Tonia and Big Boy Chase!!! He will be 1 this February!

What a cutie!

Garrett was spray Painting his bike, i thought this shot looked really cool!

Garrett and I used to spend a lot of our time together in the basement at his house. He would do woodworking and I would watch, or help him, He also taught me how to use all his Dad's tools. This is something I did down there when I was bored of watching him, It has been there a while, and every now and then I darken it up again! :)

My family dog Hank, and my sisters cat Mocha, hanging out on the couch together!

This is from my walk today with Garrett, There are a lot of Alpacas down the road from him

A pretty view of the mountain from our walk

A cool tree on his road

I hope you enjoyed the pictures!! More stuff on things I have been working on craft wise to come later this week! Now it is time for sleep... too bad the Pat's didn't win the Superbowl :(

Peace & Love
