Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

No more pictures at the moment.
It has been ten days since my last post here, so I do hope my regular readers haven't given up on me! I have added quite a few items to my collection, but most of them are too big to scan for photos, so they will have to wait until I get the digital camera working. I actually retrieved it from the back of a cupboard last month, recharged the batteries, and re-read the instruction book. But I am such a sook when it comes to technology. If I can't get the hang of something quickly, I just get frustrated with it and toss it away. I just need someone to sit down with me and go through the workings, then I need to practice. I did use it a couple of times when I first got it, but I found it so complex that a lot of the photos badly out of focus, and instead of persevering, I spat the dummy. Some people never grow up...
I sympathize with your camera angst...I can never seem to get mine going properly. The pictures are always a little out of focus but I'm told this is because I don't have enough light...oh well.
ReplyDeleteGina my camera is a honey! But! if I had to get a new one and start all over I would be horrified to have to do so.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to our visit soon :o)
Heh heh heheh! I have a couple you may just want to pop into the scanner Oops! said too much! lol lol
Best wishes my friend

Ah, technology... What a comfort to see that you're not a natural. I had assumed that you found it all a breeze, with all those blogs and photos. Hope you get the hang of it again soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, glad you posted. Technology can be intimadating. My daughter got me a 'photo shop' program for Christmas and after 2 half-hearted tries, I put it on the shelf. Your post reminded me of that....I need to try again....I guess. Oh the enthusiasm...I can hardly stand it...grin.
