Weekly photos 10/52 and Living Arrows

Published by

I am a day late with the weekly round up this week because yesterday was ‘Ten on the 10th’ day.  Never fear though, here is the weekly collective from last week.  It snowed on Monday and we had a snow day off school which is so strange to think about now we are looking at near 80 degrees today.  All seasons in one week! Blue was the colour of the week  and it was the last in the #colorcolour series.  Here is my Blue selection. I made pretzel rolls to have with hot dogs for dinner which were a hit and fun to make.  I used the A Beautiful Mess recipe which I have used a few times and it has not failed me yet. The school art show was this week too and I got a little photo of Mr Y’s ‘Inside my Head’ piece. I went into St Louis for a class headed up by the lovely Lindsay of Heartland Underdog, met some lovely local bloggers and got some snaps of some city …

8/52 Weekly Photos, Living Arrows and Purple

    Purple was the colour of the week last week in the #colorcolour project thanks to the great minds of Hula Seventy and Xanthe Berkeley.  It is amazing what you spot when you are looking out for a specific colour.  I though I would find nothing at all purple, even though I walk past the purple wall at the YMCA nearly every day!  Purple flowers were in my Valentine’s bunch and I love violet sweeties.   I took the photos of Pablo with my Canon and I like the way they have captured him, especially when he kicks up the ground behind him like he is ready to race! I started a granny square using Pip’s beginner video (still not finished it, but I will and I will be sure to share my crochet triumph!) Mr Y and I went out with the metal detector into the deepest woods yesterday looking for treasure.  We found some old rusty nails, a couple of bottle caps and some bugs hiding from the cold.  Better luck next …

This week’s colour for the colour photo challenge from Hula Seventy and Xanthe Berkeley is pink, so above is my pink collection.  Not much in the way of pink around, but I found a few things to snap. I didn’t take a ton of photos this week, snow is only interesting for so long and the novelty has officially worn off!  I long for some little flowers to start peeking out and I want to plant veggies. In the meantime, here are the photos from last week.  I have been doing a ‘Brush Script’ class online with Studio Calico and Kal Barteski and I have been practicing and practicing as you can see by the full floor! We found a massive icicle hanging from the slide one morning on the way to school. And we saw some pelicans visiting the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary. This photo is part of the Living Arrows project hosted by I Heart Snapping, a weekly photo of the children or something relating to them.  Mr.Y has his own arrow, made …

4/52 Weekly Photos

February is only a week away.  Phew hold onto 2014, it is flying by!  Are you managing to keep up? I am keeping up with a few new things which I am pleased about. A new thing I found over at Hula Seventy was the weekly colour photo join-in-along with Xanthe.   Last week was Red, so here are my red photos.  I like red as a highlight colour, red boots, red bracelet or red hair, not so much an all over colour. I don’t like red pens at all, not even as a method of highlighting.  I will only use a red pen if I need to draw a red something, a poppy or a heart.  Never never never for writing or communicating, too aggressive on the page for my liking. Maybe too much of a flashback from school homework marking, red pen all over the place.  Positive or negative, all red pen.  Green pens would have been be a way more pleasant way to communicate especially on kids homework.  I wonder if I …
