Working With My New Camera

I used the macro setting to shoot these cups. English Bone China has the best luster.

Dinner After Thanksgiving

Dinner in a pumpkin. Pilgrim style! My sister-in-law made this "pudding" it reminded me of what the Indians offered the Pilgrims for Thanksgiving dinner. Grains, beans, corn, garlic and I don't know where the Indians found the dried mango, but it was in there as well!

Take II

The close-ups are pretty darn clear.

The colors are true.

Getting use to not looking through the view finder.

Harder to hold the camera study when it's not supported by my face!

My New Camera, Take One

Read directions.

Opps, shot # 2!


Hard to take a good tabletop photo.


The camera has panorama capabilities:)

Hallelujah Is Five Months Old

She is such a beautiful girl!

She listens to her owner very intently and tries hard to be the best she can for Sylvia.

A Salt Water Christmas Table

I love the Portmeirion Mistletoe pattern with the sea horses and coral tablecloth. The Elk horn looks like a big piece of coral all by itself!

A Change In The Season

Flipping the store for the holidays is no easy feat! I made four new pillows in green and red to help the seasonal change along.

Staging The Yellow Cottage

Gathered the best ruby red Hydranges!


"Cottage Yellow"

The livingroom reminds me of sunny days, sandy beaches and blue skies.


The owner has a darling duck collection.

The blue and white rug sparked up the kitchen.

Master bedroom turned soothing and serene.

This is a nice spot to snug up in.

A Lake Michigan Bunk House!

It was smooth sailing.

A Beautiful Afternoon

Waiting in line to see what the net fishermen bring in. In the end the porpoises came up from under with mouths wide open. It was a show all by itself.

Steve Paints All The Floors White Duck


I love the chintz on this work chair, I think I'll add a short skirt to hide the legs some. The view out the dining room
window looks out over a jungle! This is the impression I take home with me when I head north.
