So I got me a Pentax Optio E80 digital camera for Christmas, and I'm trying it out. This is the first shot I took with it. It's of my progress on a cross-stitch picture I'm working on.

Wow! That firstly sounds like a nice camera, and secondly.. That "project" you're working on.. looks AMAZING! I bet that's taken a lot of time & devotion. Are you a professional? It certainly LOOKS that way!

Thanks. I started it at the beginning of October.

It'll be about 12" x 16". It's based on a painting by Paul Peel.

The camera is a nice seksy black. As for the project, I guess I have done a lot since my last update.

Hey Barbara! Wow! That was your first picture! I'm jealous!
It's perfect! And that piece you are working on is just
exquisite! How large is it? Looks pretty big! Those are some
very intricate stitches you're doing. I wish I had the patience
to do that, but even if I did I can't see that well anymore
to do it!

I wear a pair of dollar store reading glasses over top my regular glasses to sharpen my focus when I'm working on anything smaller than 14-count.
