Did you have a nice Independence Day? I hope so! Lucy's finally at that age where she's starting to get excited about holidays, which is really fun! I got a new camera over the weekend and have been trying to get the hang of it. It's a Canon Powershot SD1100 IS. I'm completely amazed at the difference. I knew my old camera was bad, but I don't think I knew quite how out of date it was.
Look how nicely this seed pod came out in macro! I'm impressed.
And these:
I'm still trying to figure out a few things, and I need to figure out how to resize pictures because they're coming out huge.
Lucy's Independence Day outfit:
I made her 3 of those little pillowcase dresses last weekend and I just love how they came out!
My two sweeties, at the parade yesterday.
I am so happy with how quickly my new camera can get photos of Lucy when she's in motion! We were having a little photo shoot of her in her dress and I accidentally got a shot of her in mid fall, when her stool tipped over! It wasn't blurry at all. Hopefully I'll be able to post better pictures now.
Unrelated - I have to show off Lucy's vintage stool, it's so cute!



Love the macro shots too!
Lucy is so cute, and that pillowcase dress is the cutest little thing!

Love that sweet 4th of July dress...isn't that the most versatile dress to make? I have even altered the pattern a bit to create a dressy blouse for myself....satin and all! Sounds like you had a great 4th!

Yes! Love those pillowcase dresses. I've been thinking about trying to make myself a top or something because they are just so easy!
