 Although buying new shoes is always a pick me up.. not that I can get them on with said surgical stockings!

52 Photos.. No 46

..Inside Your Wardrobe...a bit cramped and absolutely no coordination whatsoever! My wardrobe is a bit like my artwork.. one day odd and grungy and the next all clean and neat... at the moment I'm going with 'The anything that fits kind of style'

One thing.. or several things that I have in my wardrobe is moths!... what's that all about, I thought they were a thing of the past.... and try and find mothballs... they don't exist any more either..now it's a little plastic packet of stinky stuff.... I like the idea of mothballs.... reminds me of my Grandmother.

If you would like to join in with 52 Photos then here's ..the list.

52 Photos

....Catching up with the 52 Photos thing.....Number 16, A Good Habit.

A few of us save £2 coins to spend on crafting goodies on our weekends away...the sensible folks take theirs to the bank and change them for notes....not me! I love shopping with a bag full of coins...

 This week was my Birthday...knowing I'm picky about flowers. ( I'm picky about most things! )the Other Half sent me something a little different.....A lot different!
Number 27 Flowers...

If you want to join in then you can find the list here...

... 25,47 and 50...that is Close Up, Something New and Feet in the Grass..(.if you want to join in with 52 photos then hop on over to Scattered Scarlet where you will find the list...)
How's this for the inside of a humongous squash....

This is my new machine..it's less than a week old....I don't have a good track record with new machines and this is no exception.. the needle threader has fallen off.... goodness knows where, so it's back to the retailer

One broken toe...all the fault of piles of stash everywhere during the craftroom makeover... which is done...only now I can't find anything

What misconceptions we have about ourselves.....I always though my feet looked OK....until I saw this picture......how wrong can you be! 

Number 4

...something green...and they're very green, no sign of turning red..

Green tomato chutney anyone?

Catching up....

... this is the second week and  number 34 on the list...
WHAT'S IN THE FRIDGE... a lot! getting ready for a bit of a 'Do'....there's a lot of food but not much drink... that's in the 'beer' fridge elsewhere,,

Alas no beer for me since the A&E incident...

Two down fifty to go....

Honestly......

... you couldn't make it up!.. it's VHS v Betamax all over again..The Pogo arrived.. late!..plugged it in and got ready to print.. Pogo won't print from an iPhone...what's that all about!... so I thought I'll E-mail it to myself and print from the lap top....needed a double ended USB lead... didn't have the right lead!... so I'll bluetooth it.... the lap top does't have bluetooth!... by this time I'm losing the will to live!..

E-Mailed to a different lap top and here we are! I hate having my picture taken.. I think I'm 20 years younger and four stone lighter than I really am!.. If anyone recognizes me from this picture then I'm in trouble!... and I've discovered there's a big difference in the forward and back facing cameras on the iPhone... after trying to resize stuff!..

Anyway I've started.. here's my first page...

The second photo is on it's way...If you want to see what 52 photos is all about the hop on over to the Scattered Scarlet blog..

52 Photos....

.....Last year I undertook two year long projects... Julie's month in Numbers and Photo Friday.. and I completed them both!... this year I decided not to commit to anything.. this was fine at the beginning of the year but we're now halfway through the year ..... and I hate to say it but I miss not having a deadline... I work better under a little pressure but don't tell anyone that! So Jean has a plan..a photo a week.... there will be a list posted shortly on the Scattered Scarlet blog.The subjects don't have to followed in any particular order as long as you document one a week.This is how I'm going to document mine... an easel type flip book so here's the instructions.

Chipboard...2 pieces 11x14 cm, 2 pieces 3x11cm....glue to your paper, fold over the edges and glue down.Take a strip of contrast paper and cover the underside...make sure you press well in the gaps..this needs to form a hinge that will fold without tearing the paper.

Cut one more chipboard piece 11x14.. this will be the front cover.. cover both sides. Cut 26 pages 11x14 from cardstock.

Use a BIA, Cinch or book rings to bind...

Decorate your front cover...

             I'll decorate each page as I add the photograph... hopefully printed on a Pogo...

I know its halfway through the year but you don't have to start new projects in January.
