A pretty little shoe pincushion and a doiley

I made this a couple of years ago
and
have been having lots of fun
taking photos with my new Canon EOS 600D.
These two were taken using the macro setting
and
 then I had fun editing using
PicMonkey.
I made the paper flowers
and
my mum
made
the little crocheted flowers
and
the doiley
underneath
the
Carlton Ware piece.
I'd love to hear from you.
Please leave a comment.

Thanks for visiting.

A new card, something pretty and some old buttons.

I would like to share my latest card
made for some lovely people
who recently showed my family
great hospitality
and
kinsmanship.
They are farmers
and
I think they will like it.
I used a lovely Stampin 'Up set called Times and Seasons
I bought it preloved from eBay recently.
This is the 1st time I've used my new DSLR.
Last night I bought a Canon EOS 600D
**Exciting**
I am so thrilled to have it finally
and
can't wait to get into some great photography.
I plan on doing a photography course of some sort
to further familiarise myself with it.
A pretty miniature mannequin
Some pretty buttons
all vintage
except
for the two big glass ones in the centre.
The pink heart shaped doiley was made by my Mum.
A selection of some of my vintage buttons
just
because
I think you'll enjoy looking at them.
It's a really cold one here today.
It's overcast and drizzly.
So far not much rain but enough to fill the rainwater tanks.
Five layers of cothing seem to be keeping the worst of the cold at bay...LOL
Thanks for visiting
and
I'd LOVE
you
to
leave
a
comment.
Have a great weekend.
