Out takes of a self portrait
Over on the Snappy Friends Blog we were set the Challenge to take a self
portrait. I am so far behind in our challenges I had no intention of
attempting this one.
The sunset and clouds were reflecting in the lake this afternoon so I
ventured out to take a pic.
as I was walking back inside, there I was reflected in the glass door.
hmmmmm, maybe this would work as a self portrait?
I should try and get one with my face showing
a bit far away, if I just zoom in a bit.....
oops, too high.
blurry,
a bit low.
almost!
there I am, shot 25, this will have to be the one!!

snapshots in june.....
I have a little dilemma! We have had a HUGE weekend.
a little friend of ours won her tennis final and there was a whole crowd of us gathered to cheer her on.
my elder daughter, Miss Paradise made her first Holy Communion and she looked beautiful - my totally unbiased opinion of course.
and, my mum turned 70 and I put on a special lunch for her.
So what is the problem you ask? I have made a conscious decision not to post photos of my girls on my blog, now that they are older and they have their own lives. I protect them fiercely as is my right as their mother. BUT as they are the feature of many of my photos, it means I have nothing to show you of our wonderful weekend.
You will just have to take my word for it! So instead I give you a pic of some purple gorgeousness growing in the garden on one of our neighbours.

a little extra.....
I started this project again, my tension was too tight and I couldn't get the crochet hook through my chain! This is for DH, a little belated birthday present. Progress is SLOW!
I have decided there are some important steps in quilting that I really dislike - cutting out the pieces, basting, preparing the binding. With crochet it is the same - the initial chain and the first row! Grrrrr

snapshots in june.......
I have been doing some crafty shopping the last couple of days.
Firstly a scallop oval punch from Stampin' Up from their June sales.
SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES!!!!!!, some quilting pins and some polar fleece. Watch this space, something coming up with these this weekend.
Finally, some white card stock and some chip board stickers. You can never have too much white card stock! (Well I can't anyway!)
