Photography and some vent...

Good Sunday, blue sky. Somehow it feels like spring, but I think we will have more snow. To be honest, I am tired of it. Enough snow for me!!
It happens that I am a bit not satisfied with some of my photos. I like the colors very much, but they seem dark, sometimes depressive. Today I will try new ones. Natural light as always and some flowers. My intention is to pass some sort of good feeling (at least for me). I need more light! I was thinking about selling my cameras and purchase a Canon 40 D. I have a Canon EOS Rebel and a Sony Cyber Shot DSC H1. I am not sure what to do, since right now I could get a 60mm macro lens for my Rebel, because I really would like to shoot small things, but I am not sure if this lens works on Canon 40 D ( I guess it does). It's funny that I think my best photos I took when I was 21 years old, while attending photography classes. After 15 years, I just let it go, the camera I had (film - 35mm) got broken and I did not read about it anymore, I don't really practise it much and all I learned in the past, seems to be gone like dust! So...It doesn't feel right to purchase a better camera, if I am not taking the photographs I want (because I am picky, thanks God!) with what I own at the moment. Well, if anyone is interested, I can sell the cameras described above and with the money, I get something better! They are in great conditions, I would take my Canon to clean up the mirrors though. Later I will make a speacil post with the prices.

I've removed all my images from Etsy (my second account for photographs only) to re-edit them, to come back with different ideas (if I get any). It's hard. That shop could work for me as long I do it right and take it seriously. I am thinking about postcards with nice rounded corners, big ones. The Pixie Blossoms shop gets great views, but since I've raised my prices, people look only. Fine. No problem, to be honest, I don't blame people looking for bargains, I do the same sometimes. The economy is bad, the budgets are tight everywhere and if there are people making awesome stuff for 20 dollars, go for it. They are just all right! I enjoy my sewing machine a lot. I've finished some darlings this past week and I just need quiet time to upload them to Etsy. I guess it's time to stop making things to others (for sale) and start thinking about a new home decor for us. As I am not satisfied with my dark photos, the same applies to our home decor. I like my furniture, it's dark wood, but I would like to brighten up a bit. I can't go crazy and bankrupt my husband. This is a long term project. I never thought about my home decor before. I had 2 kids, one after another, I am always busy doing something else and decoration is the last thing I would think. But hey, this is my nest and I think it's time to do something about it!

Here are the photos I did on Friday...
