I haven't yet located photos of my crafts, but I thought I would show off something even more precious to me today - my family!


From left to right: Joshua, Louise, Aimee and Ash.

One of my very favourite photos of Josh with his little sister:


Josh has been completely fascinated with Aimee, and has amazed all of us, considering he is a rather hyperactive two-and-a-half year old, at just how gentle he has been with her.  And I just love the way they are gazing at each other!  It's such a beautiful sight to see that brother-sister bond being created in ones so young, right before our eyes, don't you think?

I guess it is often a sight that is rarely captured in photos, but my daughter has quite a talent for photography.  Though still in the early stages of building up her portfolio, you can see some of her work on her Facebook page for Louise's Lens, if you're interested.

Photography is an art I was interested in at a young age, too, in the days when we used film and dark rooms, and getting into photography then was very expensive! 

I guess it's still not exactly cheap, but not as expensive comparatively speaking, and it is a wonderful creative art where you can hold that finished product in your hands, just like with crochet or knitting, for example.  And with all the special effects that can be used through computer software, I guess it has become even more of an art form than ever!

Another treasured part of my family that I couldn't possibly leave out, is my big fur baby, who seems to look after me more than I look after her - Lexie:


She was only about 15 months old here, and she'll be 5 years old next month, but it's the best photo I've got of her, so I always seem to come back to this one!

Anyway, that's me off for tonight - I have some paperwork to do with a very close deadline, but I have put it off for long enough, and really need to get it done! No more excuses, Diane, get on with it!!!

Does anyone else have to talk themselves into doing the things they really don't want to do, but need to?  Please tell me that I haven't completely lost the plot?  I know I lost my marbles a while back, but I'm sure they'll turn up eventually . . . probably when I'm digging through my yarn stash at some point!!! LOL!

Love . . . Diane x

    1. Thanks, Amy. I hope so!

      And thanks for the comments about my family, too. I think they're beautiful, as well, but then, I am just a tad biased! LOL!
