It is a bright foggy morning. A diffused light that makes you squint is coming in through our windows. So I was able to take a few photos with natural light (gasp). I need to find a way to photograph blues and purples. The quilt I have begun is rich blues, purples with a bit of green, but the purples all photograph as dirty blues (sigh). I think my orange dining room, which is so apt for taking photos of my bright oranges, yellows, and reds, doesn't care for these cool colors.
Today the girls and I are going to a friend's 5th birthday party. Will this display of presents and 5 year old fun persuade little e that turning 5 is a good thing? Probably not. We are to bring a used book for a book exchange. In our house, where books are sacred and hoarded, this mean either a trip to the used book store, or an investigation of the Closet... I am glad to say I survived the closet, and have found 2 suitable books. Hurrah!
