    T Tuesday: photos edition

    February 5, 2018 - By 

    I finished out my January photo a day with a couple of silly photos trying to fulfill the prompts as best I could.

    30. A secret …secret chocolate stash

    31. Less is more

     

    I decided to stick with the same person for the photo a day challenge this month again.

    Her prompts are mostly good and within my realm of creativity.

    1. Today is… slightly warmer

    2. Play  badminton anyone?

    3. Smell 

    4. Yes!  The man child is 18 today…we have an adult!

    As for art beyond the lens…it didn’t really happen last week. I knitted a few more rows on my hat. Contemplated a crochet hat with a new pattern I was shown along with its accompanied You Tube video. Might be able to follow along better.

    I attended my first archery tournament last weekend. Mini-me was competing. I thought…”oh I’ll bring my camera and take some really cool shots” (no pun intended). Then I learned that silence is required. So no shutter noise, lens servos, etc. So all I got was this artsy shot of arrows in the staging area.

    The usual Tuesday madness is in store for me.

    T stands for Tuesday

    T Tuesday: quick check in edition

    January 30, 2018 - By 

    My life in the petri dish of school has continued. Just as I was feeling better, I was hit with the crud again. I missed Thursday of school last week. UGH!! GERMS EVERYWHERE!!  I feel good now with the exception of a residual cough congestion cough. So frustrating.

    I did start a new project on Friday and finished it up over the weekend. I learned how to use a different kind of knitting loom with a completely different stitch thanks to Pinterest and YouTube. I love all the resources we have at our finger tips these days!loom knit cowl

    I followed this blog post to learn the new stitch. The kind of yarn I’m using doesn’t really show any stitches and I think perhaps in part of it I messed up. Thank you forgiving yarn…no one will never notice it.loom knit cowl

    It’s so soft. I wore it to school yesterday as a snugly edition to my outfit.

    Sorry for the poor photos. I took these after dark last night.

    Speaking of photos…I’m nearly done with January. Here are the next six of the challenge.

    24. begins with s…stickers

    25. my morning view….everyday

    26. thank you for….coffee

    27. in the night….Marvin waits for me to top off his bowl before bed each night

    28. text…dictionary pages covering my ancient fridge

    28. magic….just the tip of the iceberg of the cards we’ve been collecting since 1994

    I’ll need to pick my new challenge for February. These photo a day challenges really keep me stretching my creativity even when I can’t create hands-on.
