How would you like your house to look like this?

Dave and I were off taking pictures of another fabulous makeover performed by Tracy and Wayne over at Blueprint Interiors. Of course it doesn’t help that I am sick of my 20 year old kitchen and I would love to have it redone 😀 .

The very kind owners of the house gave me a demonstration of how smoothly and easily each of the slide out drawers moves in their newly refurbished kitchen. What was even more stunning was that you couldn’t tell they were cupboards so nicely finished and flush with the wall as the work was.

Of course Wayne does not just do kitchens he does bathrooms, laundry’s and purpose built cabinets to fit any space as you can see from the video, enjoy!

Did you have fun at the Capricorn Festival?

Last Saturday was the Capricorn Festival held in Yanchep, Western Australia and we were there with our market stall and covering the event for Capricorn Yanchep.

We had our “Thongy Postcards” on display and they proved to be very popular 🙂

If you were there or if you want to know what you missed out on then watch our video slideshow of the event on youtube:

Photoshop Tip – How to Put the Magic back in your Magic Wand?

The Problem

The other day I was happily Photoshopping away sharpening an image for a new print size when I stumbled across a small problem.

I wanted to select the part of the image so I could apply a different sharpening technique to it, I switched to the trusty Magic Wand tool and clicked on the sky. Imagine my surprise when, instead of selecting the just the white the whole image was selected.

I checked all the obvious solutions:

• Did I have the correct layer selected? – Yes
• Was the Tolerance setting ok? Yup it was set to 10
• Was the other parameters set appropriately? – Yes
• Restart Photoshop – No change
• Try a different image – No change
• Restart PC (getting desperate now) – No change
• Blame the kids – Still no change (only kidding 😀 )
