Here are a few clips I shot around the house yesterday afternoon. I rented a Canon 7D to “test drive” for a few days. Although I decided that I’m not quite ready to upgrade my camera body yet, I sure loved having the ability to shoot video!

I love your comments more than I love chocolate (almost).
What a lovely video! Looks like a nice, relaxing Sunday you had there.
I’ve been wanting to dabble in video too. Thanks for inspiring me.
Beautiful! Where is that tree face? I have a photo of one that looks exactly like it, in a New Orleans cemetery.
The face is on a tree in our backyard. The previous owners had it up, and I told them I liked it so they left it for us. It’s kind of scary in the dark! :)
The camera can definitely do beautiful things – love how you were able to focus in and out on different areas. Was the music with the video the music you were playing?

I wish! :) The music is Perpetuum Mobile by Penguin Café Orchestra.
Most pleasant video! I may just watch that whenever I need a reminder that LIFE IS GOOD! Thanks for that :)
So charming! My poochie never sits still long enough for that kind of close up.:-)
How adorable, I love it!
Sweet how the dogs get the starring role ;)
Lovely sunday (and nice to watch it on Monday at work even more). Thank you )
P.s. You might want to test something like Manfrotto Magig Arm for shooting videos – it makes it look more stable and without any accidental shakes.
Thanks for the tip Lynne! Unfortunately I had to send the camera back to the rental place today, but if I ever get a video-capable camera I will definitely look into that. My tripod was not cutting it!
like! and nice song choice, too – one of my favorites =)
So peaceful and I love your DIY mug!
Whoa, I wish you felt comfortable with upgrading your camera–this video is gorgeous! I could watch it all day for inspiration.
Haha, thanks Mary. Maybe one day. :)
Love it! Is their any artistic area where you aren’t amazing???
Thanks Jenna, you sure know how to make a girl blush!
That video is lovely. If you don’t mind me asking, what website platform do you use? I know the design was customized, but I would really like to find a good web/blog combo. platform.
Hey Bri, my site is running on WordPress.
I LOVE your video, it’s so simple but perfect. You should submit it to the Organic Oscar Oscar’s… its a video contest for dogs (and yours are adorable!). http://www.facebook.com/organicoscarcollection
Super fun video.
That was simply lovely!
aww… that vid was lovely… thanks for including it for us to see. i really like your style so i’m a “fan” of your blog. [i also line in NC, the eastern part]
question: what are the names of the yellow flowers you showed at the beginnig and the adorable “lily-pad-on-a-stem” looking plant? i’m trying to incorporate more plant life into our home…
thanks! lookin’ forward to more loveliness!
They yellow flowers are dried “Billy Buttons” (such a weird name!), and the lily pad looking plant is called a Chinese Money Plant. Isn’t it so cool? I really hope I don’t kill it!
Beautiful! Looks like an amazing Sunday. Love those billy buttons!
Very nice! I like how your Sunday afternoon seemed fulfilling :D
i love this video! How did you edit it??
Thanks! I edited the clips together in iMovie, and added the graphic at the beginning in Adobe After Effects.
Hi!
I really dug your video. What program did you use to generate that cute little text and leaf graphic? Did you make them yourself in a video editing program or was that a template from somewhere?
Thank you!
Thanks Sarah! I drew the branchy things by hand and scanned them in, I added text to them in Adobe Illustrator, and imported the .eps file into Adobe After Effects.
Amazing. I was held still by time.
Please make more!
Can you put your blog on Bloglovin so I can follow it?

Stopping by from your wonderful Etsy feature!
Great video!
…and I love your music choice!!. .but I actually know Avicii’s version! Didn’t know this was the original version!
Such a lovely little video!!! I loved it! Found your site via Pinterest and am most pleased for the introduction! Such a lovely spot you have here. :)
Ah, such a lovely video!
You had a lovely Sunday afternoon. Very nice film :)
Did you draw your 3D letters where is says “Sunday” or is that a font? I love the look, but can’t find anything as pretty.
“Sunday” is a font called NeoRetroDraw. The best part… it’s a FREE font! :) http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/NeoRetroDraw
How to make an ordinary day creative and wonderful ! SO inspiring !
