I just finished this in time for our Blogi versary Giveaway. Hexies and quilting in variegated pink thread all hand sewn whilst enduring bedrest! I confess I love the way it's turned out. All it needs now is for someone to win it.

Yes, I DID sell him a little more than a month ago... But I've been commissionned for several imp outfits and let's face it, it's easier to sew with the doll!
So, Pips is back, and I must admit I dont regret it ^^

Thanks to Skeletal Mess for the Texture

Our Daughters pet Parrot, a Pineapple Green Cheek Conure. Taken with a 35mm f1.8 g lens, FTZ adapter on the Z50, cropped as not to close, he does not like me, so stayed back a bit ;-)
The 35mm G was as advised by Phil Thach, he has some great Z50 videos on Youtube.
Virtually impossible to catch this dog at full speed, here its only in 1st gear, she's only 8months old.
We enjoyed a lovely falconry experience last weekend.
This is Pip the Kestrel.
The weather has been on and off lately. Today is typically an off day, but a few days ago I shot Pip in bright sunshine. Bright sunlight makes Pip very hard to shoot, so I had to do some PS to get the image right.
This cutie arrived at the end of the year and then came the move. She was packed and ready to move with us to our new place. She's a perfect addition.

So I have just been some images on social media of recent and past portrait images, and I came across this nicely rim lit version of an image that is further down my Photostream of a model named 'Pip'. He's so so cool to work with....really must book him again!
I wanted to get some snow pictures with Pip, but didn't dare go out earlier this week when the snow was actually falling -- my shutter finger doesn't really work when the temperatures are in the single or low double-digits. The snow has been on the ground for 5 days now, so in general it's pretty churned-up and patchy, but I found a spot near the dog park that hadn't been too trampled.
Yup, Pip was on a stay, within sight of the dog park no less. Very serious face, having to concentrate so hard on being good. The sun was just about to go down, so some nice golden light falling on Pip. The snow was already in the shade. If I were better at photoshop I'd try to do something about the snow's color cast, but with simpler tools I wasn't able to fix the blue without messing up the golden light.

There were plenty of long faces as three of GMP’s oldest horses retired yesterday (Thursday, 25 May 2016).
There wasn’t a dry eye at Hough End’s mounted unit as officers said goodbye to their four-legged partners Pip, Countess and Harvey.
Pip - a 16.2 hands-high piebald - galloped into a career with the force in 2005 and has stood his ground at everything from Manchester United home comings to parades, protest marches and riots.
Originally from Lancashire, Pip has taken his time with the force in his stride and has won over Constable Kate Guest in the process.
At the grand old age of 18, he is now due a very well deserved break where he will join Countess and Harvey in putting his hooves up in a grazing field in Goostrey, Cheshire, before eventually going to the Horses Trust in Buckinghamshire.
Countess – a 20-year-old dark bay mare – saddled up for life with GMP in 2004 at just eight years old after coming from Staffordshire. In the past year she has worked with constable Karen Danks.
Last of the trio to trot off into retirement was Harvey – a 19–year-old bright bay from Humberside constabulary who joined Pip and Countess at events across Greater Manchester with the assistance of Constable Aaron Wilson.
All of GMP’s horses are trialled for a number of weeks before they begin a rigorous training process which prepares them for life on the beat. This includes being taken out on the roads and attending smaller events to get used to crowds and traffic before policing large-scale operations.
PC Kate Guest, from GMP’s Mounted Unit, said: “All of our horses have been a huge asset to the mounted unit and their work and bravery is crucial in helping us best protect the public.
“They each have their own personality and characteristics and no two horses are ever the same.
“Pip has been the rock of the unit for so many years and he will always be my favourite. He is nicknamed the stone wall because he is not scared of anything and although I have only been in the team for a year, he has been with me since the start. He has taught me everything I know about being a mounted officer and he has always made me feel safe, no matter what the situation.
“He is the granddad of the group and can be like a grumpy old man, but once he gets to know you he is so soft and sweet and loves being scratched behind the ears. He is a one off and I won’t forget him or the work he has done during his time at GMP.”
