Mr Cute and his grandpa are having a serious discussion here about what might be under the Christmas tree for them to investigate
this was taken Christmas morning right after breakfast and just before we started tearing into the packages
this was the "big" present for me this year --
the camera I had been using was two years old and I had taken almost 5500 photos with it
it still worked well, but this beauty has more mega pixels and some very cool built in settings -- including the one that lets you take a picture and it looks like a pencil drawing (yup, that's a PHOTO of my laptop computer) --- I can see lots of quilting design uses for that feature
of course this means I'll be spending some time learning how to use all of this new technology
my sister gave me a copy of a book I had wanted for a couple of years -- Lyric Kinard's Art+Quilt
she wrapped it in fabric so it didn't rattle in the box
24 fat quarters of amazing fabric to be exact
OH WOW!
I've already been thinking about new things to create with this stuff
one of the things my daughter asked me to do for her is to make her an apron that she can wear to do messy projects
since I had made myself one of these a while back, I already owned the pattern
she picked this fabric
so I'll be cutting into this stuff soon -- maybe even this afternoon
and let the 2012 Christmas projects begin!
when we were in the fabric store looking for apron fabric, they had marked this fabric down
and it's flannel
it's been through the washer already and it's stashed away to be made into pjs a little later in the year
time to get busy

You know he really is one of the cutest babies ever. I love that shot with his grandpa.
And that camera sounds like the most perfect one for your work.
