365 photo challenge - day 7: sensei woo

Aah yes, day 7 and I'm photographing random items because I forgot to take my camera out with me today. Sensei Woo to the rescue!

365 photo challenge - day 6: it's all over for another year

The tree was taken down on New Year's Eve but now it is time to take down and put away the remaining Christmas decorations for another year. The house looks bare, I might just leave the fairy lights up a while longer....

365 photo challenge - day 5: Christmas jam jar

Another photo of my handmade Christmas decorations. This is a variation on my previous Christmas jar here, except this one is in a jam jar.  The same cake decoration deer which has been covered in red micro glitter this time and a tree from a dolls house. The tree was bleached to remove the green colour and then more of the red micro glitter was added.  A random pot of epsom salts was used for the snow and a recycled jam jar.

I love these Christmas jars!

365 photo challenge - day 4: bokeh

I love the bokeh effect (although I have no idea what it actually means, to me it means out of focus blobs of light). I have pinned quite a few over on Pinterest and here is my version: the fairy lights on the banister before they get taken down and put away until next Christmas.

PS. If anyone knows the actual meaning behind the word bokeh, please let me know!

365 photo challenge - day 3: Lego head straw toppers

Another idea from the recent Lego themed party. Print off some Lego heads onto paper or card, cut out and slip onto straws. Easy peasy!

365 photo challenge - day 2: Lego party games

My son had his birthday party on New Year's Eve and we had a few Lego inspired party games. This one was simple: guess the amount of Lego in the jar. I took another empty coffee jar and filled it with Lego, addedd a Lego head and Lego font for decoration. I then enjoyed a peaceful minute whilst the boys decided on their answers.

365 photo challenge

I know I'm heading for a massive fail here but I'm going to have a go at the 365 photo challenge: that is taking a photo a day and posting the results on here.

Here's today's offering. I nearly failed on the first day as I totally forgot about the challenge and didn't take my camera to the beach and my iPhone is playing up so I didn't have my usual backup. It was miserable and grey down there anyway so it would have been a pretty dull photo.

So an indoor shot it was to be. This is my Christmas jar made from a coffee jar, a cake decoration, a tree from a model trainset stall at the market, some lefftover epsom salts and copious amounts of glitter of course! I loved it so much I made another one in red to go in an old jam jar, I'll post a photo of it soon before it gets put in the loft with the Christmas decorations.
