This will my little corner of the www where I will get to share absolute randomness!
PROJECT 52…A photographic journal: A few of my photography friends from near and far are doing either a 365 (a picture everyday) or a 52 (once a week) project.
I thought of doing one last year, but time ran away from me….so this year, one of my New Year’s resolution was to attempt a 52 project!! Hopefully I can keep it up………so here goes!
Week 11/52
As I was hanging this quilt on the clothesline today, I realized it will soon be time for me to take it off the bed and store it for the summer.
This made me slightly sad……sad because my grand-mere and I made this quilt together. The quilt was started in the winter of 1996 and completed the summer of 1997. I cheated and machine sewed all the squares together and she masterfully hand stitched it all together. It has been on my bed every winter since….
In the days before she passed away, the house had been a steady stream of family and friends coming to say their goodbye’s. I didn’t want to leave but I had to return home, so that morning I said my goodbye to her….an hour and a half later, as I was walking through my door, the telephone rang. It was my cousin calling to tell me grand-mere had just passed away. Odd as it may sound, I wanted to be there holding her hand as she took her final breath. I guess she wanted to make sure I made the hour and half drive home safely…
April 27, 2007 is the day my grand-mere died…a little over one year after grand-pere (January 4, 2006).
She died at home in her bed, snuggled in her quilt she had made for her wedding day.
Week 10/52
It’s RRRRRolllll up the RRRRimmmmm to win time at Tim Hortons!
Cawwwfeee, I love my cup o’ jo in the morning! You can pretty much stay clear of me until I’ve had at least 1 sip of my morning java….just so you know…so you can be warned… I’m not addicted to the stuff…really…:)
So what will this rim reveal…..
….maybe the next cup will be a winner
Week 9/52
Sunshine + melting snow + finding a few daylily sprouts in the garden = SPRING IS COMING!!
Last week was full of snowy landscapes and it didn’t seem too promising for spring. So when the sun made a very welcomed appearance this week, I went hunting for signs of green…and found some!! The snow on my walking trail is melting and I was delighted to see my daylilies starting to poke through!
Week 8/52
Looks like winter is still here….I managed to unglue myself from the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and go out and capture an early morning snowfall. The landscape was simply stunning, tree branches sagging with wet, heavy melting snow. By the time I got back home, most of the snow had already melted off the trees.
Ummmmm, is spring almost here….????
Another favorite passtime…
Growing up, I loved to read! I think most my books are still on my bookshelf in my old room at my parents house….
After high school, I guess you could say I temporarily gave up reading for pleasure…reading instead business and accounting “novels”. Then after a few years, traded those in for Anatomy and Physiology and Paramedic textbooks.
Not sure why I waited until about 3 years ago to pick up another novel…but I’m glad I did. Even joined a local book club…we are The Cover to Cover Girls….awesome group of ladies!! :)
These are just a few of my latest novels…I will admit, I never did finish Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake. It didn’t quite “grab” me. Just started Jodi Picoult’s Change of Heart last night and lovin’ it so far. Jodi Picoult is definetely my favorite author so far….
What have you read lately??
Week 6/52
I’m always in awe of the changing seasons…how each one has a unique beauty. This week, I took a few minutes to enjoy Mother Nature!
Week 5/52
Vintage and stormy nights
Week 4/52 part a
PATIENCE
What a week! I’ve been wanting to upgrade my website, give it a new fresh look for awhile now. So, I decided this was the week that I was going to do it!! wow, that was a big job….long story short, 3 attempts total re-edits later of the full website it is now live!! PHEW!
This is my little Angel of Patience. She was given to me as a gift a few years ago by a good friend and she sits nearby. She definately had her work cut out for her yesterday when my website decided to go all crazy on me!
Week 4/52 part b
…….and a glass of my yummy blueberry pomegranate wine!
Week 3/52
RELAXATION
To try and wind down from a long day, you can see me either doing the daily Sudoku or a couple of Lexicon puzzles. LOVE them!!
Week 2/52
Eating healthier this year is another one of my goals…and a BCTC (Bacon or ham slice, cucumber, tomato and cheese) is my favorite sandwich. My work partner, Adam, made some homemade bread and gave me a loaf….so yummy!!!!
Week 1/52
During Christmas time, I realized how busy I had been throughout 2009…not taking time for myself, my furry family members and especially my husband. Even my cherished friends were put on hold…..
New Year’s Resolution….take Samm’s advice and schedule in a lazy day every once in awhile.
