*365* January 12 - Mr. Ducky Says Hello

My photo for yesterday, submitted without comment ('nuf said):

Days 10 and 11 - The 365 Project

Here is my day 10 submission for the 365 photos project: Fresh Socks!

 I love getting new socks. Eventually I will become proficient at knitting my own but until then I love K. Bell socks. They're comfy, come in cool patterns AND have my initials embroidered on the toe (that's a great conversation starter...people actually think that I have that done, lol!)
Now for day 11: Let Sleeping Noahs Lie

I was at home today waiting for the inspector for the city to come and give us the green light to fire up the solar panels we had installed last week. Needless to say both kitties were excited to have human company, Noah especially. At one point he pushed the knitting out of my lap so that he could cuddle up on my chest.  This was a tricky shot to get, had to mute my phone and move very slowly...you can see one of his peepers open with a warning leer.  He was still happy though.

*365* January 9 - I'm Tired!

Last night, it was 8:15 and I was fading fast.  I decided to just give in and go to sleep.  As I lay there I realized that I didn't take my picture for day 9 of my 365 project.  What better way to document the fact that I am a 90-year-old woman than by publicly posting that I was in bed and ready for sleep at 8:47pm!?



So there it is!  My bedtime last night.  Personally, for being a list minute picture, I am IN LOVE with this.  If you have an iPhone (or it might be available on Android now...not sure), you need to check out Instagram.  It's such a cool way to spice up otherwise dull photos!

Project 365 - A year in photos

I tried this a couple years ago, but failed after day 5.  I'm now on day 9 so I think I can publicly commit this year!

The object of this challenge is to sharpen your photography skills: take at least one photo a day for a year.  Mine has no theme other than just "my life." I'm sort of using it as a visual journal to see what was going on throughout the year.

Without further ado here we go!

January 1 - Rusty At Sleeping


This is my friend Punch's cat, Rusty. He's the sort of cat who is anyone's friend.  Poor little guy had just gotten in a fight with the cat next door on New Year's Day and needed some major nap time on my lap.  I was more than happy to offer up my services.

January 2 - Last Day of Vacay


Taken with Instagram (LOVE IT!!) it's my last glass of wine before winter break ended and I had to go back to work.  I savored it!

January 3 - FAIL! (See January 4)

January 4 - From Fail Comes Win!

I realized as I woke up on Wednesday morning I forgot to take a picture on Tuesday....oh well, it became the subject of my next day's picture.  I'm not giving up though!

January 5 - A momentous occasion!

If you look very closely you'll see a black blob on Wino's lap...that is our kitty Margot who has NEVER, I repeat NEVER sat on our laps before in her entire 6 years of existence!  While this isn't the best quality photo, it needed to be documented none-the-less.

January 6 - Friday Nights

A typical Friday night in our house: wine, food, and tv.  (Yes, I still had my Christmas tree up then....we did take it down this past Sunday - Don't Judge ME!)

January 7 - Hexipuffs A-Go-Go

My first ever hexipuff for my Beekeeper's Quilt.  Since Saturday I've knit nearly 3!  I'm aiming for 300 at minimum.

January 8 - Cliche, no?

Yeah, yeah, we set up the work out equipment around new years.....its a resolution of sorts but less to do with the new year and more to do with the "omg-I'm-turning-30-this-year-and-am-freaking-out-because-I-still-haven't-reached-my-weight-loss-goal-yet" thing.

Today's picture will come later tonight...once I take it.  Enjoy!
