My new Pentax K10D


Oh it's an exciting day for me! My new camera arrived on my doorstep a couple of hours ago! I can hardly stand to wait for the batteries to charge so I can start using it. That darn red light just won't go out!
When my batteries finally do charge I will take some pictures of the quilts I recently got back from the quilter. I have the binding sewn on one and just about to start handstitching the next one. I 'still' haven't been spending a whole lot of time down in my sewing room but hope to very soon.
My DH and I spent last weekend visiting friends in Ottawa, ON. All the parents pitched in and looked after the kids while we were gone and I don't think they ever ate out so much! lol We had a wonderful time and did lots of relaxing. I never even thought to look up any quilt shops while we were there. We did go to the Senators vs. Bruins game on saturday night and had a good time (although the Bruins lost). The kids were very excited to have us home on monday and even more excited to see that we bought them a Wii while we were there.
Ok . . . they must be done by now! Gotta go and check . . .

Happy Halloween!

The kids all had a great time last night trick or treating and came home with lots of candy. I'm wondering how I'll get them to eat any 'real food' today. Maybe I should just give in and let them eat it all day and hope they get sick of it. Suppose that would happen?? Probably not!


If I had my camera I would show you the three finished quilts I'm sewing the binding on, and I would show you the scarf that I'm knitting, and I would show you a picture of Megan with her 1st, 4th, and 5th medals she won last weekend (in Highland Dancing) but since I don't . . . you'll just have to take my word that they're all quite beautiful! lol

I'm having a real hard time not having a camera at my fingertips. The camera company gave me a quote of over $600 to fix mine so . . . . probably won't go that route! Now I have to think about a new one. When I do get one I'm sure I'll be taking lots of pictures and posting some here.
