WIP Wednesday #17

So, apart from the 5 or 6 (or even 7 if I think hard enough), knitting and crochet projects I have going on at the moment, I think my current WIP would have to be my photography. If you're a regular visitor you'll know my photos are quite amateurish and I've often commented on how rubbish they are. I marvel at other people's blogs and their amazing photography. I wonder how their photos are always so bright and colourful and get annoyed that, as I'm at work all day, I can only take rubbishy dark grainy photos in the evenings for my posts.

So when hubby went to Hong Kong on business and asked what I wanted him to bring back for me, I jokingly said 'a digital SLR'.  Now, the last 4 times he's been to HK he has insisted that they are so busy in meetings all day that there is really no time to shop so I normally ask for something a bit ridiculous knowing that it won't happen. He always brings me something back but it's often perfume or jewellery from duty free. I dont mean to sound ungrateful, really I'm not. But my point is that usually he really is too busy to shop.

Imagine my surprise when he came home with a brand new Canon 600D. :) I'm SO lucky, I'm so spoilt. I really have the BEST husband in the world. - If you flick back thro my posts to this one you'll see that we havent been married long. We've been together 7 years but only married since August last year but he really is the best. :)

Anyway, enough gushing.

So I've been practising my photography. Well, taking photos of random things. random stuff round the house.


and here are the results.

 I love this one. The picture on the Telly is really cool.

Now I can't wait for the weather to improve so I can get out and about taking more pictures.

Oh and this is how far I've got with my ripple blanket.....
