Gumdrop Slouchy Hat Review

Property of Adria Peaden Photography

I am knocking the dust off of this blog for a while.  My photography has slowed down and I have had sometime to start up some crocheting again.  To begin I wanted to make another hat.  They are usually simple and very satisfying.  I adore those really slouchy beret types of hats so I let [...]

Don't-be-Mean

Over at MCP Actions Blog there is a great discussion on being mean on the internet.  Here is the post where, unfortunately, the owner had to set some ground rules on critiques and comments on her blog and facebook page.  She fosters a learning environment so that all levels of photographers can post images and [...]

Mr. Slug

SLug-4

Gillian has no fear when it comes to creatures outside of our house.  I think it all began when I taught her how to hold a worm.  This past year she discovered the fun of holding lizards and even bonded with one naming her Echo (now they are all called Echo).  Inside creatures are a [...]

I am sitting at my desk cleaning my camera equipment getting ready for a wedding this evening.  So I thought “Maybe I should talk about cleaning your camera”.   Brilliant. Well, anywhoo…. Since I work A LOT on the beach I have to deal with sand.  There are some of us that forget about our cameras and [...]
