Photos of Days

Moments of days, captured using the Photo A Day prompts….

4 November – Table

Met my lovely friend Natalie for lunch. Naturally, we indulged in cake afterwards. 🙂 Cookie pie from Thunderbird Cafe – yum!

5 November – I Collect

Souvenir teaspoons! For a few years, every time I went someplace new, I’d hunt out a teaspoon to add to my collection. The idea being that whenever a friend came over for tea, they could use a teaspoon from their home town.

6 November – Music

Our Little Man loves making music, so we bought him this colourful wooden xylophone while we were in Shanghai. He loves it!

7 November – Yes!

At a conference today, I made myself be brave and actually put my hand up to volunteer an answer to the presenter’s question. (Seriously, this was a very brave moment for me!) They picked me to answer, really liked my answer, and gave me a copy of their book as a thank-you. (Plus, he then came up to me in the break to thank me for the answer I gave, as it was the perfect lead-in to the next part of his talk.) Yes! I was brave! And it felt good. (Now to wait another few years before I’m brave enough to do it again…)

8 November – Someone I Miss

Shallow though it may be, I miss the size/shape I was a couple of summers ago, when I could fit into all my pretty self-made dresses. But I’m nearly back there, and naturally it was all worth it. 😉

9 November – Mine

Fabric-a-brac today, and these were some of my spoils. They’re mine! All mine!!!! Mwahahahaha!

10 November – Book

Browsing through sewing books, trying to decide what to make for the November Monthly Stitch challenge. Perhaps the dress from the BurdaStyle sewing handbook? I quite like Casey’s version, especially if I then make it a shirt-dress style….

11 November – A Memory

This little guy has been travelling around with me ever since I was 13 and bought him at a fair that I went to with my then two best friends – Fiona and Angela. He’s called Fluppy Puppy. (Coz, you know, he’s all fluppy/floppy/soft.)

12 November – Clouds

Up in Auckland for work, walking along Takapuna beach after dinner.
