Stitching and Clicking

2015 Gifted Gorgeousness check-in time

Last months progress on Black Horse Inn:

Not a ton of progress, but I did manage to squeeze in some Gifted Gorgeousness stitching time.  I have been spending much of my time working on Christmas ornaments!

My Halloween exchange arrived from Rosa C.  She did a wonderful job stitching and finishing this ornament.

Stitched by: Rosa C.

The lace and adorable little frog charm are a great added touch! This ornament is a wonderful addition to my Halloween tree Thanks, Rosa.

Now for the clicking

Last Wednesday I attended the 1st of 4 photography classes, which left me spending way too much time reading about DSL photography and taking many test shots (in manual mode).  I will leave you with a few of my homework pictures.

The fall colors are bursting, which has given me endless photographic options…

Foliage

Early morning dew on a pumpkin

I pulled into my garage and saw a colorful reflection in the helmet on the shelf . I grabbed it, brought it outside, positioned it on a large rock, and snapped the foliage ~ interesting view…

I love the reflection

While sitting in my family room I glanced over and witnessed the foliage as a backdrop to my favorite floor lamp; how perfect, a moose in the woods.  

I love the lamp silhouette

Yes, it is true…Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe is offering ANOTHER giveaway. Nancy is truly a very generous blogger!

Thanks for stopping by…
Until next time…

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. And woohoo, you've finished the house!

Love your photographs too, you have a good eye for colour and composition too. I'm more of a point and click person!

I'll bet you are learning a lot in your photography classes, Marie! I took one a long time ago in college and really enjoyed it--I think you see the world in a whole new way when you are seeing it through a lens. Love what you've done so far--very creative and fun!

Nice house building--that is one big mansion! And your little witch from Rosa is very cute, too.

Enjoy those VT colors--I'm jealous!!
