This year Sheldyn decided she wanted to be a ghost. Of course I said I would make it. It is now the day before Halloween, and I haven’t even started it. I don’t have a pattern, and I don’t plan on throwing material over her head and cutting out eye holes. So, that means today I need to design and sew up a decent ghost costume. I’m not sure what I’m going to do, or how I will go about doing it. I need to get busy on it, but I have absolutely no creativity going on right now. I’m dry people. I don’t feel like making a damn thing. Wish me luck. Ugh.

I think I’ve uttered one “I really miss taking self portraits!” Since I abruptly gave up in April on Day 297. Today, would have been my very last day of the project. My last self portrait to finish out my 366th day. What a quitter I am! I really wish I would have stuck it out or quit sooner.

Here’s the newest paintings I’ve done. The middle blank canvas will be filled with flowers.

The canvas’ are 6×8.

I got a new camera!!!!!

Isn’t it lovely? The guy shipped it out today, and I should get it on Wednesday. I was hoping that someway, somehow, I’d get it on Saturday. Nope, though. No such luck for me. Makes me wish I’d paid a little bit more for shipping so I could get it in a couple days instead.

I couldn’t sleep last night due to excitement. Well, maybe that 2 hour nap I took from 4-6pm didn’t help either. Anyway, I still laid in bed and thought of all the places I want to go to take pictures. It really sucks that this weekend I won’t have it though. Poop.

This might be a good thing though, because when I have things I don’t want to sit and read things about them. I’ve been reading things and making notes, so I have some sort of idea what ISO does, and shutter speed and all that fun stuff. I also want a new lense already. So, I’ve been looking on eBay for a 50mm lens. I hope I can find one for a good price.

I bought a little notebook today at Target. I am going to transfer all my notes into that, and then right down ideas for pictures, and also places to visit to take pictures.
