New Canon Rebel T3i Photo Shoot
I just got a new camera for Christmas, so of course my first model is Theo. It’s a bit tricky to learn, not at all like a point-and-shoot, but the photos are amazing! I have to get the hang of aperture / shutter speed settings. Maybe I’ll update this post when I improve my skills. For now, here are some of my better shots:
I think Theo favors his right side – he always turns it towards the camera!

Post Holiday Organizing
Something about taking down the Christmas tree makes me want to clean and organize everything. After all of the wrapping paper is thrown away and the sparkles from the ornaments are vacuumed up, there is a renewed sense of space. It feels like the right time to start fresh, with a clean slate, and prepare for the New Year. I’ve been searching for new office shelving and a work table so I can spread out all of my work (and so I can stop screen printing t-shirts in the kitchen).
I just came across this DIY work table tutorial on The Ivy Cottage Blog constructed from two doors ($25 each) and four sets of shelves ($16 each):
I have to try this!
And while I’m at it, dreaming up a new office a living room design:
These rooms look like a good way to start the New Year fresh. I’ll have to add these to my to-do list:
1. Get all white furniture for the office and paint the walls a cool grey.
2. Find super cool coffee table for the living room, and place a bowl of rocks on it. Also orchids.
