Yep, I'm still playing along with the photo a day challenge and really enjoying it too. Here are my photos from the third week of February...
February 15 - Phone
I really love my new iphone, it helps me capture memories wherever I go.
February 16 - Something new
My something was a new dress that I designed for my Blythe dolls. This one had sleeves - hard but I love a challenge.
February 17 - Time
I was craving baked veges on this day, so made myself a little baked lunch. It was yummy!! Lunch time...
February 18 - Drink
My favourite drink, a cup of tea, in my favourite mug (from typo).
February 19 - Something you hate to do
Dishes, yep I really don't enjoy dishes one little bit. However, when sharing this photo on instagram, a lovely follower told me that she sees doing dishes as a privilege, she is grateful she has food to feel her family, hands to prepare the meals and she enjoys watching her family in the back garden while doing the dishes. It was the reality check that I needed, I have been reminded my attitude makes all the dishes. I am going to do my very best to switch my attitude and enjoy doing the dishes because I know that I they are a result of taking care of my family.
February 20 - Handwriting
On the morning of the 20th, I headed to the local Op shop to pick up a few vintage books to make the packaging for my etsy dresses. Upon arriving home, I opened one of the books to reveal this special message. I spent the rest of the day wondering who Jack and Madeline might be and what their story is. I confess I might have made up the most romantic story as I went about my work. I chose to honour Jack and Madeline by keeping this vintage book on my bookshelf. I hope to read it one day too. It is called Burnt Sugar by F M Baume. (isn't Madeline's handwriting just beautiful too)
February 21 - A Favourite photo of me
I confess I spent a LONG time going through old photo albums and looking at my online photos trying to find a favourite. I was about to give up when I found this photo. I really love it. This is my Mum and me in 1972, apparently I was about 10 weeks old and my Mum was about 36, so just a few years younger than I am now. It is very special to me.
Are you playing along? If so, please let me know your Instagram name so I can follow along and enjoy your photos too. Have a great week. xx Janelle
