Looooky What I Got:)

OMG, I am so excited! I could barely sleep last night!
Ive been wanting this little beauty for sometime now. Ive done ALOT of research on different brands, different features and different prices and chose a Canon Rebel XS.

Meet my baby, ha!




The most important thing for me when choosing a DSLR was how it felt when I was holding it and how heavy it was. The Canon seemed to be the most comfortable in my hand.

It was a big price tag but well worth it because I got 2 lenses, 2 batteries and a camera bag.

Here are 2 pics I took last night, one with my Kodak P&S -





And the same taken with my Canon -




I still have ALOT to learn when it comes to settings and shutter speeds, I'm hoping it will all come to me!

Jas was playing around with water and these are some shots he got -






If you're thinking of a DSLR I definitely recommend the Canon Rebel SX!!

Ive got a bedroom makeover to show in a few days. As soon as we're finished:)

Thrift store finds and new bunnies

Its VERY rare when I walk into a thrift shop and out with something in my hands!
Im serious - its different in NY, there is usually NOTHING! And I look closely!

Saturday I took my handmades into the shop where I am on consigment and we decided to hit a few shops.

I ended up with a breadboard, a wooden tray, a little shelf and a recipe box all for $12.60 (pay no attention to my craft table)






We also hit an antique/junk shop and I picked up this great bowl for $17.90 (a little high I think) candle sticks and a magazine rack.





Then on Sunday Jas asked if I wanted to go to the flea market! I didnt find too much as it was too cold for the vendors to set up outside but I did find 2 sets of round paper mache boxes, large ones for $3 total! Now I get to paint everything:)

After the flea market we stopped at a camera shop so I could learn a little about these DSLR cameras I SO BADLY want! Ive got it narrowed down to a Canon Rebel XSi. Now I just have to shop around and see pricing because I also want to get a Macro lens for it:)

I can tell you one thing, if youre on the market for a DSLR and you like LIVE VIEW, make sure your new camera has this feature. NOT ALL DSLR cameras are equipped with this. If I had not researched yesterday and just went out to buy I would have had NO IDEA about that!!

I also finished up a few bunnies.

This first one is a Chestnut Junction pattern, I think she turned out so cute!



This is Beckys (TRP) free pattern shes offering this month. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy. His ears are bendable and hes actually pretty big:)



And this is another freebie pattern from Sweetpeas Primitives. He is supposed to be a makedo but I didnt have anything to use for a base so I just made him into a sitter.
