Photo A Day Challenge - Day 15 & 16

Day 15: An Ordinary Moment


A familiar sight around our house,
my little Daisy cat on the bed against the pillows (atishoo!!)
...she fell asleep during the (N)ieews:)




I received some lovely comments
on Fat Mum Slim's Facebook page about this one...
"So dreamy" & "Gorgeous cat".



Day 16: Two Things



My vintage copy of "Pride & Prejudice"
& my little mp3 player...something old & something new. 




 This copy of Pride & Prejudice is very special to me.
There is an inscription in the front:
my grandfather's signature; the date: 1943; & the place: Johannesburg. 
It also contains some lovely illustrations inside by C.E. Brock.




 
 Charles Edmund Brock (5 February 1870 – 28 February 1938)
was a widely published English line artist and book illustrator,
who signed his work C. E. Brock.
 He was a very successful illustrator of the books of authors such as
Jonathan Swift, William Thackeray, Jane Austen, and George Eliot.


Well that's that for today...I'm still working on getting my office/studio
ready for the new year. Sorting papers and throwing stuff out...
...purging so to speak.
I didn't have a worktable in here, just a desk
(which is always cluttered)
but now I have a desk and a worktable!! 
The only problem is...3m x 3m rooms can only contain
that many pieces of furniture and art & craft supplies.
So there is major reshuffling of "stuff" going on.



Love & Blessings

Photo A Day Challenge - Day 10: One O'clock

The stars were out at one o'clock this morning...

...time for sleeping soundly...



 I'm sooooo glad I chose one in the MORNING.
We're in the middle of a heatwave
and I didn't have to go traipsing about during the day
looking for photo opportunities for this challenge.
It's actually two photographs I layered on-top of each other,
one of me (pretending) to sleep soundly
and the other of the night sky view from my bedroom window.

Something to think about:




Hope your day was joyful!

Photo A Day Challenge - Day 9: Paper

PAPER BOATS...

...always wanted to float a boat...

...these were fun to make...

... and then even funner to race on our bird bath.

Made me feel like a kid!




 They're drying out so I can play again later...:)


 Love & Blessings

Photo A Day Challenge - Day 6: Mine

Couldn't choose just one...so here's my Fab Four 4 the day:
My Mallow Filled Milk Choc Heart...
...my piece of the sky this morning (oh so selfish)...
...my fur baby Daisy following me around the yard as I search for great pics...
...and my shoes. 
O yes, b4 I forget, my fave colour scheme...red, white and blue:)
(I'm hearing those seagulls in Finding Nemo squawking in my head "mine mine mine mine!!!")



 I quite forgot...my camera reflected in my Mallow Filled Milk Choc Heart...hie hie:)


 Love & Blessings
