Word to Live By Days 7 & 8

Big Picture Class ran their Big Idea Festival, Words to Live By for twelve days during August. Every day there was a word, and a challenge to make a project page or LO about.
I have day Seven and Eight to share with you.

Day Seven was Cherish


This is my family Oh so long ago. The photo was taken in Southern Ireland on one of our many visits there as children. The little girl is me of course with my mother and her mother, and four of ‘the boys’.

Day Eight was Live


This is my photo of Sand bay with Kim Klassen’s textures on.

I put this post together in September and scheduled it for today, 28th October. I have just realised it would have been my mothers birthday today, how spooky is that.

As each year goes by and my life changes this way and that I miss my mother more and more. The pain is less of course, it has been seven years since she passed away but the missing is more.

Orange

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge

I am linking my orange collage to Project Alicia for this weeks orange challenge. I love how orange is so warm at this time of year.

I also have a new recipe to try this weekend which looks kind of orange in the book!

Root vegetable boulangere. I love potatoes done this way so I imagine the winter vegetables with them will be gorgeous.

There are some stunning shades of orange over here this week

Week 31

From our day in the city of Dublin, Molly Malone, aka the Tart with the Cart. Back home, I have been trying to take a few pictures around where I live. My local Sainsbury’s petrol station, the new re-cycling bin at the pub! and some artwork by the bus station for this week. Some fabulous black cherries which I can’t seem to stop eating. A beehive for Rinda’s project Summer Scavenger Hunt and the sky over Weston on 1st August.

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge

I am joining in with Project Alicia, Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. This weeks colour is Yellow. I might even get it linked to Alicia’s blog this week! Ooops, didn’t get that far last week…


I took these pictures this week, but I was looking through my October photo’s and there are so many autumn yellows around, I just couldn’t resist putting them together in another collage!

You will find beautiful Yellow Shades of Autumn over here this week

Journalling reads

From 1 to 21 in the blink of an eye
Where has the time gone?
It seems like only yesterday you helped your daddy put the swing together.
It was the evening before your birthday. We had hoped to get the swing up ready for the following morning but you saw the box and that was the end of a quiet evening before the big day. You helped to open the box, unpack the bits hold the tools tighten a few screws and before I knew it you were high in the sky, I was terrified you would fall but you just laughed, more daddy! more daddy!
Now look at you, in your leathers, you have wanted a motorbike for as long as we can remember. You put yourself through the test and saved your wages to buy your blue Suzuki.
I am still terrified you will fall but it is your dream fulfilled and I am happy for you.
