This is probably going to be one of those posts that jumps around quite a bit… well at least it will be if I can remember all the things I keep thinking I should blog about. :)
Did you know that excel has a random number function? Very cool! I used it to pick the two winners of the drawing… Kristi & Cate! If you could both email me with your addresses that would be wonderful.
It snowed last night & a little today for the first time this year… I was actually kind of sad when it first started. Although I suppose it was about time for it to snow here, especially since New Mexico got snow before we did! :) I don’t think I really like winter at all… At least the snow might make for some pretty photos? I took the one above today, while trying to keep my camera covered with a shawl (which was a bit tricky).
Speaking of taking photos… awhile back I mentioned wanting to learn more about some of the adobe photoshop programs. Well I found a book at the library that was all about adobe photoshop lightroom and I have to say I had a lot of fun learning how to use lightroom. Next I am planning on reading a book or two on photoshop elements… Although lightroom does most of what I want it to do without elements. In fact it is better than elements in some ways (at least in my opinion) because I shoot my photos in RAW format and lightroom is meant more for editing this format (with elements you need a special plug-in to edit RAW photos). Anyways it is fun & who would have thought that a program like that could actually be fun! :)
I have lots of ideas right now for projects to work on… One of my ideas is for a holiday skirt for myself, which I think I will probably start working on this week. I have an idea in mind but sort of need to decide on colors for it… I am thinking about making something similar to this L.A.M.B. skirt….
Which I think was from last years line and was over $400, which is obviously way way more than I would ever spend on a skirt! Although maybe I shouldn’t really say it will be all that similar, because I am definitely going to make my own version of it and already the version in my head is a bit different than this… Anyways, colors? Anyone have any suggestions? I am definitely going with black for the tulle part, but can’t decide on what color to go with the black… I’m not sure if I am really a fan of the tan color on the L.A.M.B. skirt though, so I was thinking maybe grey, pink, or black? Hmm, any suggestions? Of course all this depends on if I can actually find the right fabric for it and get a move on working on it because Christmas is not that far away! :)
