Wordless Wednesday #7

One of my side-projects

I have been meaning to post about this for a while, but just have not gotten around to it. I am a woman of many hobbies. I have my hounds, I do genealogy, I sometimes sew, I sometimes paint, I also play around on photoshop and do some graphic and web design. One of my graphic side projects if Greyhaus. (click on the word, and it will take you to the store). Greyhaus is one of my 2 stores on Zazzle.com. My other one is car, particularly Alfa Romeo, related. Greyhaus is my greyhound project. It started last Christmas as a way for me to label my greyhound-related Christmas gifts, but has turned into more. I only have a few designs now, but with the new camera, it should expand when I have more time, and ideas :). So, check it out. Let me know what you think. I have 2 of the shirts, and the quality is greyt! I was really impressed. It was neat to see my design on a shirt :).

So here is the main design logo (which you can see used many ways at the Greyhaus store:

I love my new camera!

Before I get to that, Birdie got a home. Paddy is still at Lesley's waiting. He is a very stubborn boy. He may be there a while. That's okay. We will find him the right home. :)

It's true, I love my new camera! I had planned on using it at the Play Day this weekend, but we got rained out, but it will be rescheduled. Hopefully, the weather will be better then.

I have been taking pictures in the meantime. They have mostly been the hounds out in the yard. I'll share some here:

Birdie & the camera

We were real busy the last few weeks, hence the lack of posts. Oh well, it happens. Well, Paddywack has finished his few weeks stint at our house and has gone back to Lesley's. We made a swap last Sunday and now we have Birdie, whose race name was Myredfirebird. She is a tiny, barely two year old girl. She turned 2 back on September 11, so she is a youngin'! She is a sweet girl. She plays fetch and likes to play with our hounds. She follows us around the house and will even lay down in the kitchen while we cook. It's kind of cute. She is a good girl. The only issue we are really having with her is her not wanting to go outside without one of us going as well, but we are working on that. She is also learning about keeping her nose off the table and her feet off the counters, typical adjustment stuff. No big deal. So here is a pic of Birdie!

On a side note, this picture was one of the first few I have taken with my new camera. I recently got a Nikon D3000. I am very excited and waited a while to get it. I am looking forward to more, better, hound pictures!

The pictures are in!!!

These are the pics we had taken, by Sisters Pet Pics, for the 2010 GPA-LA/MS Calendar. It's not all the shots we took, just the ones we chose to purchase. If you haven't scheduled a shoot for your hound(s), you should! Enjoy!

Oh, be sure to check out the Sisters blog and subscribe. They have lots of greyt pet pics, including more greyhounds, as well as lots of good photography advice and insight. There blog can be found in my "Greyt Reads" list to the right or here.

Without further ado... here are the pictures!
