February Photos - Finale!

Here is the final installment of my February photos - a little later than scheduled, due to a brief but stressful hospital stay for the small girl (she's fine now!)

I know life is always full of lumps and bumps, but I think I'm ready for some plain sailing, for awhile at least!

1. Unicorn! I've been taking product shots for these guys, and FINALLY listing them in my shop Here! Also, the fabric in the background is of my own design: Spoonflower were doing free samples, so I got one for a laugh. Now I want to make more! 

2. I won a competition! This is the lovely painting by the very clever Lily Reilly of  Petal to Petal which I was lucky enough to win in a facebook competition - I've been a fan of her work for awhile now, so I was delighted to have a piece to hang on my walls - now to find the perfect spot! 

3, 4, & 5 : All these are taken on a day trip we took to Cobh with my Mum before she flew back to NZ. Although it wasn't a perfectly lovely day weather wise, it was still lovely to be by the seaside, and it didn't rain for most of the day! Result! 

Especially considering we'd just had this the day before:  

(I figured out how to make GIFs. There is no stopping me now!)

February Photos - Week 2.5

Hello Lovelies!

How has your February been treating you so far? 

This week's photos are a little later than anticipated, due to the enormous storm last Tuesday (Snow! Power cuts! Gale force winds! Rain!) and our house has been in somewhat of an uproar due to the hot water cylinder developing a leak and threatening to flood the house. It's quite amazing how quickly things get out of hand when your water supply has been cut off! 

But rather than photographing wet towels and the waterstains on the ceiling, I have decided to share: 

a) A Yellow Dinosaur ("He's screaming mummy!")

b) Pink Carnation (Not Valentines!)

c) Tulips (Valentines! But more because the supermarket over stocks on flowers and then we get them cheap!)

d) Puppy!

e) Glenville, Co.Cork (I think! We went to Glanmire via. the scenic route which I'm not familar with)

Hope you're all keeping warm.... is Spring here yet??

Feburary Photos - Week 1

Hello! 

Here are some photographs from this week - I've been going through my old photo folders recently, and I realised that I haven't been taking as many photos these days. Couple that with my Daughter's 7th birthday, and the awful realisation that my kids are growing up and one day these photographs are going to be my best bet when it comes to remembering it all.... Well. Let's just say that the camera has been getting a bit of a workout. 

I also want to improve my photography skills, and take pictures of things in my life other than the kids (I asked if I could blog pictures of them - they said no.) 

So here is what we have this week: (from top left, clockwise - just like in the newspaper!)

1. Cloud, by Olly Moss 

2. Something Orange

3. Detail of a chapel at Ardmore, co. Waterford

4. Crows being total geezers

5. Best egg breakfast ever

6. Complete and utter vanity.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!
