I took a lot of shots yesterday, both at home and at the party.  I'm going to submit four, so you may have to kick one out!

Photo quest #1 - place mats with candle

I wanted to explore some different angles for the pictures that I use to list my Country By Design items on Etsy.  This one is taken from the back of the setting.  The focus on the place mats isn't very good. 

Photo quest #2 - bird's nest

I was using a bird's nest that I found as one of my props.  It isn't big enough to show up in the photos of the place mats, so I took this one of it by itself with rock "eggs".

Photo quest #3 - Little rocker

I took lots of pictures of my grandkids yesterday.  This is one of my favorites.  I love the lighting.  Maybe not exactly Vogue material, but ...

Photo quest #4 - The lookout

My youngest grandson was looking out the window watching the older kids playing.  I shot this looking straight down on the top of his head.  Guess you could say it's an ad for the curtains or the floor vent which is bent because they have to keep a fifteen pound weight on it to keep the kids from playing with it!

Rag knit place mat with bird's nest

I started taking these pictures today to get one of the place mat that I knit with fabric strips, but I ended up just taking pictures of the bird's nest.  I found it this morning on my way to the mail box.  I had blown out of my of our trees.  It must be from last year, because, if you look closely, you can see a piece of purple Easter grass has been carefully woven into the creation.  All my Easter grass this year was green. 

I haven't washed the place mat yet, so the ends will look a bit more raggy when I do that.  I still have to make another one to finish the set. 

I worked on my menus again this morning, too.  I have the menus and order for breakfast for the week finished already. 

My hubby went mushroom hunting yesterday.  I didn't weigh or measure them, but I worked on them steadily from 5:00 til 9:00.  He brought one batch in for me to get started on, then went back out.  I cooked some, frozen some, ate some, and finally just washed and cleaned some and put them in plastic bags in the frig.  I had them spread all over my kitchen table getting dried off a little bit.  I took a picture, but you really can't even tell what they are!  Bet you can guess what we are having for supper tonight!

Bird's nest with rocks and Easter grass

4 comments

Here's the picture of the bird's nest.  I added the rock "eggs".  The purple Easter grass goes all the way around the nest.  I finally figured out how to turn the flash on my camera off.  It is really easy; I just had never read how to do it in my book. 

Tomorrow we are off the help three of our grandkids celebrate their birthdays.  The youngest set of twins were one on April 26th and their big brother will turn three on May 10th.  They are still young enough that mom and dad can get by with one party. 

I'm working on another set of place mats with the homespun strips.  I would like to get one set of two finished tonight.  More pictures later, I promise!  Have a great weekend, everyone!!
