Week 15

We went shopping to Cribbs Causeway in Bristol at the weekend. I had ordered a jacket & skirt but didn’t like it when it arrived so off we went to change it! We had a really lovely day together. I loved seeing the hippo & her baby and couldn’t see how on earth I missed them before. Ben says they have been there a long time!!
A party invitation this week! My brother gives great parties and we get to stay the weekend. Last year the weather was wonderful so we spent the evening in the garden. Fingers crossed for a repeat performance.
We have had some fabulous skies over Weston this week with some welcome warmer weather.
Paul bought me a new magazine about close ups photography, I am thinking about a new lens for my camera.
At work this week we made some Easter Bonnets. They were so much appreciated and there was lots of chatter and laughter. It was a lovely lift for me after some difficult days.
I saw a field full of bluebells and cowslips on my travels, it was breathtaking and I found a photoshop freebie for diptych and triptych frames and posted the picture on my blog in the triptych frame. I love playing with photoshop, have I mentioned that before?
I have been having some problems with RSI in my right hand so I am trying out this very beautiful new mouse! It is gorgeous and much kinder to my thumb and index finger.

Texture Tuesday

I am linking up with Kim’s Texture Tuesday again this week. She set us a challenge to use 2 textures; Sweet treat, which I love and a new one to me, Silence.
Since I learnt about textures (from Kim) I look at my photos in a new light, A texture can change a picture completely and give it a whole new feel! and it is such fun to play with photoshop.

Week 13

It hardly seems possible that one quarter of this year has gone! but at last it feels like spring. The garden is coming to life with some beautiful warm sunny days at the beginning of the week.
I made a couple of cards; the first for simply ages. I wanted one for my 150th blog post, which will be in the next couple of weeks.
On Sunday we went to Hazels wedding, it was a lovely day, warm, sunny, very relaxed and happy despite it being ‘a work do’. My colleague & I both wore turquoise!
I am having so much fun with Photoshop at the moment. I made the rainbow for the beautiful double daffodils that Paul bought.
Project 64’s colour is ‘spring green’ this week, I took lots of pictures for it but I liked the cucumber shot, probably because it wasn’t a plant which all the others were!
Ben is in Helsinki with his girlfriend, there is still snow on the ground but he is loving the temperature of a warm(ish) 1 degree! He sent me a photo of his coffee and much loved cinnamon bun! as well as the picture I am using for this.
We are looking forward to seeing him on Sunday morning, and he is looking forward to my roast dinner for mothers day!!! Boys and their stomachs.
1st April brought a beautiful blue sky and a very witty newsletter that Paul wrote about Greyhounds which will go into the book planned for this project. I am not sure that it will find its way onto the blog though.

I am still loving taking a picture every day for this project, I am posting the daily pictures on to Flickr but I am pleased now that I made it a weekly page for the blog.
How are you getting on with yours?

Texture Tuesday

This is my picture with for Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday. Her challenge this week was to use her Warm Sun texture.

Pink lady, warm sun

My Pink Lady is still beautiful, wrinkly but beautiful. She has been in the warm sun on my windowsill for a good few days.
I am reminded of this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
but beautiful old people are works of art.
