One + Four = Life 16/52

1. I went on a Goodwill Outlet field trip with my friend (who knows the way!) on the train.  I got a few bits and bobs including some snaps of the old St Louis Armory which stands next to the Goodwill building.  Of course I am the person that stands to get photos in a rather dodgy area of the city.  I couldn’t resist this great old building and I was quick!  St Louis seems to be chock full of old impressive buildings which are left to ruin, hopefully this one will be developed without destroying it. 2. While mowing my neighbor’s front grass – yes, it is that time again, mow mow mow – I smelt the lilac before I glanced up and spotted it.  So beautiful, I finished the mow and went home to get my camera to get a snap. 3. ‘Record Store Day’ was Saturday so we headed to The Grove in St Louis, for a coffee and a wander around and while we were wandering I spotted this amazing art …

1. I got a little bit damp early this week when I got caught in a massive thunder storm on the way home from the gym. By the time I got to the covered area at the park, I was so wet, I decided to throw caution to the wind (and rain) and keep going to get home. My umbrella went unused because of the rampant lighting. I decided to take wet over fried! 2. I started The 100 Day Project this week and I am loving it, I hope it doesn’t become a chore when I get into double figures. I am only a week into it, but the ideas are flooding into my brain. For my 100 days, I decided to draw (and make) 100 mandalas. 3. The school held the Art Fair this week and it was a joy to see all of the art created by the kids in one place. 4. Birds on a Wire. I am joining Pip at Meet Me At Mikes for this week’s One+Four=Life.

1. It’s daffodil time!  We always grab a few bunches when we go shopping through Spring. 2. Bright walls and furniture at Yo My Goodness frozen yoghurt. 3. One of my daily lettering challenge pieces, I quite like this one.  Hopefully I am getting better! 4. The first tree on our street to start to bud and flower. 5. – 7. Yesterday we decided to line all of the cars up on the drive.  And a car loving dinosaur! I hope you had a good week and have a lovely week lined up.  We are on Spring Break for a week and it is supposed to be a week of sun, clouds, rain and thunder.  So we have some outdoor plans and some DVDs to watch including ‘Big Hero Six’ and ‘Night at the Museum-Secret of the Tomb’.  Best get some popcorn!

            1. A tree bud in the new snow. 2. My shadow in the snow mixed with a photo of trees using the Diana app. 3. ‘The Slot’ at Pickle Springs Natural Area, Missouri – a walk between rocks and in a temporary stream! 4. Cave detail with ice at Pickle Springs. 5. Hearts on a tree. 6. ‘The Double Arch’ rock formations at Pickle Springs. 7. This was my favourite rock formation of the day, he looks so serene, a sleepy rock. This weekend we went to explore a new hiking area called Pickle Springs and it has some great caves and rock formations.  It was pretty wet and sludgy, but that didn’t deter us! The snow has now melted here, and the temperatures are Springlike!  Hurrah!  I even spotted the crocuses popping out of the grass this afternoon. I hope you have a lovely week!

  1.  I pass these dried Hydrangeas almost every day and I love how they still look so gorgeous even when they are all dry. 2. I snapped the full moon this week.  Look at the mega bright star just above it! 3. We found this walnut shell on the way to school and thought it looked like an owl. 4. I made some ginger molasses cookies. 5. A selection of the smells we will be using to make body balm and solid perfumes.  I can’t wait to get making and testing! 6. I also make pizza for dinner, mine is piled up with onions, mushrooms and kale. 7. I am loving the Tinkerlab February challenge, this one was following the prompt ‘Fairytale’.  I found an old paperback of Hans Christian Andersen tales at an estate sale so I drew in it! Have a wonderful and fantastic week!

            1. A trip to the High Pointe cinema this week to see Mr Turner which is a great film. 2. A dried out Hydrangea.  I am always amazed that they keep their perfect shape even when they are all dry and crispy. 3. Half Street. 4. I thought this car in all of it’s beat up glory was pretty cool. 5. Across the road I spotted these lovely trees. 6. Pint of Guiness in the pub on Sunday with friends! I edited these photos in Snapseed, some just a little crop and some a little vintage or black and white.  What are your favourite apps to edit?  I also like Over for text additions. It still isn’t very wintery here, to be honest I would like to see a drop of snow before the spring.  I hope your weather is treating you well and you are having a lovely Monday.

            1.  I pulled out my lovely stamps and ink pads to make a little stampy art this week. 2.  Eyes on a trash can! 3&4 The creek was frozen. 5.  We found a heart in a rock. 6.  3501.  Numbers found on the Lemp building in St Louis. We have had a cold cold week with a little layer of snow.  No snow days much to the disappointment of my boys!  I have decided to get my stamps and paints out more regularly and get some practice in! I found these cool building numbers while we were out treasure hunting at the weekend. Have a lovely week ahead!  

December Reflections and Weekly Photos 1/52.

  It was the last few days of December Reflections last week and then a return to weekly photos, I have missed posting random snaps, so I am happy to be sharing them again.  End of December and the beginning of a brand new shiny year in one week. 29.  My Smile. 30.  Thank you for.. My friend has a great eye for vintage finds and she gave me this Polaroid Swinger camera case. 31.  My Word For 2015 is… Lambent which means ‘glowing softly from within’.  How cool is that, I want to glow softly throughout 2015. Happy New Year! Back to random weekly photos, we have been out on a few hikes this Christmas break, here are a few things I found while walking and traveling to the parks. 1. Storm shelter at Weldon Springs, MO 2. Lichen circle on a fallen tree at Babler State Park, MO 3. Barn on the way home from Babler State Park. I hope you had a good week seeing in the new year and here’s looking …
