N is for…

…New fabric from Sew, Mama, Sew! I didn’t really need anymore fabric, I just couldn’t resist these prints. I have had my eye on the raindrop stripe one for quite awhile now and decided I finally had to just order it. Those owls are just way to cute and I love anything owl. The horses are actually a fabric I wasn’t sure if I was going to like or not (I wondered a bit if it would be too kid-ish of a fabric, but I absolutely love it in real life!).

…Nominated.

Karyn and Laurie both nominated me for the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award awhile back. I think I was supposed to pass on the award to a few bloggers that I think rock, but I just can’t pick since you all rock! :) I would say just look at my links page to know what blogs I read and enjoy, but my links page is really out of date… Eventually I am going to get around to updating it, but I really wanted to wait and update my whole site in the process (so it may be awhile:).

O is for…

…the Ocean. I absolutely love going to the ocean! Really I just enjoy being around any large body of water… I grew up on one of the great lakes and so I really miss being near water where we live now. It is a bit weird to just see flat prairie and cornfields everywhere!

…Owls. I love anything with owls on it! I even bought these shoes, that have owls on them, a couple weeks ago… (The shoes were on sale, so I couldn’t resist!)

P is for…

… Photography. I love taking photos and even more so love taking photos with my digital SLR camera. I feel like I have really grown as a photographer this summer. I started the summer with my new camera feeling a bit like I was never going to learn what aperture, iso settings, and shutter speeds were all about. Now at the end of the summer, I feel comfortable setting all of this myself (I never use the auto setting on my camera anymore) and I take all of my photos in RAW (which I never even knew about until this summer). Of course, I still have plenty I want to learn about! At some point, I am going to actually figure photoshop out (I don’t ever use it right now), and I would love to learn more about portrait photography…

… Pounce. Otherwise known as Sir Pouncealot! Pounce is one of our two cute kitties, and his name totally fits him. He is already 2 years old, but he still acts like a kitten and I think he probably will be that way for most his life. I can’t imagine life without him or Axel, they keep me company during the day while Ben is at work and generally make life amusing! :)

Are you on alphabet overload yet? I really want to finish with the alphabet so I might rush through it a bit in the next week or so! :) Actual crafting to resume shortly!
