This is it....

Last night, the husband got a new camera. He has wanted a digital SLR for quite some time. He has finally admitted that he wants a hobby, and he wants photography to be it.

I myself only recently became aware of the joys of a hobby. Something that you love to do that is not and never will be work. Something that you want to spend your precious time doing. Something that you are passionate about.

My hobby is sewing. I have always enjoyed building things, and have for a long time been dissapointed that models only come in 'boy' (cars, trains, tanks). One year ago, I used shopping points to get a sewing machine and I have never looked back. I get joy from tuning a pile of stuff into something beautiful, a soft sculpture if you will. 

Every now and then, I also feel the need to make things that do not involve sewing. I like to allow my making to occur without mental restraint.

So the time came to venture into this online world. Here, I hope to combine our fledgling hobbies. To share our journey with the world through my writing and his photography.

Stay tuned, there is plenty more to come...
