Sometimes the more I work at something, the worse it seems to get, until I walk away from it and come back with a fresh perspective. Even then, sometimes I just need to start over from scratch, even though that can be a bummer.

Here are my thoughts. I’m not sure your reasons for using this…Read more

That was helpful. And if you buy refurbished from Amazon then I definitely feel more comfortable about buying from Amazon. 🙂

Now just a follow-up question in my mind. A few years ago somebody bought a sewing machine for me and they did their research and everything and picked out a Janome machine that looked really good. Then, searching around for the best price, they ended up buying it from Walmart. Let’s just say that this machine was…Read more

When I first looked at it I thought “that would make a really cool book cover,” especially making me think of some jungle missionary biography. Anyway, I think what contributes to that is the mood that is created by the colors and the moisture in the air, creating an intriguing and a rather mystical…Read more

We have the most beautiful knock-out roses, but I’ve kind of gotten stuck in a rut with photographing them. Thank you!
