new project in the new year?

These videos totally have me wanting to make a time lapse video. Maybe that should be one of my goals for 2010. I wanted to be able to do video with my Lensbaby….since I don’t have a dSLR with video capability – this will be the next best thing. And it is so cool looking – check it out

merry christmas from piqulette!

There wasn’t a plan for a Christmas post, but how could I resist when I got this picture? We had a blast with the Lensbaby and the nice shiny ornaments on this tree.

Â My scan through the description didn’t actually process anything through my brain at that early hour one day except “not spam”. Â A few days later, I clicked on someone’s blog post on Twitter. Â Emily Porter‘s to be exact. Â I read through the post and I loved it. Â Maybe it just takes more than 140 characters for me to realize awesomeness. Â
