Happy Valentine’s Day!

A few days ago, I wrote an article outlining my views on the day of love, February 14th. Mainly, in my opinion, Valentine’s Day should be a day to celebrate love in all its forms: between family, friends, partners, pets… No sense being cynical. Nobody ever said that love can only be between a couple – you’re not alone on Valentine’s, no matter what! You have friends, parents, siblings that love you more than you could ever know. And I love you too! Thanks for always reading along with my blog, I feel so lucky to have so many great people in my life.

You can read the article (and get the recipe for these yummy treats) here.

Project 365: Week 5

Happy Thursday! I love Thursdays, don’t you? Tantalizingly close to the weekend, so everything seems so much brighter and happier. Nothing like Tuesdays!

I love this project, even though it does prove difficult some days. This past week has been stressful, so finding both time and things to photograph has been a challenge. I’m sure this will continue – and hopefully it will force me to be more creative or make more things!

Project 365: Week 3

I enjoyed this week of photos a lot more than the 2nd week – more inspiration! I’ve gotten really into “self-portraits”, because I always think having something that can live and breathe in your photos makes them look more alive. And these days, I spend a lot of time doing readings in my room or going out on fairly desolate walks, and I’m sick of photographing squirrels! I swear, this is my last squirrel ever. So usually I’m the only living/breathing subject that I feel comfortable photographing. I’m sure this will change as my friends and I hibernate less.

The highlights from the past week are the cornflake-crunch-chocolate-marshmallow cookies (!), all the yoga I’ve been doing, and my dark orange scarf that I’ve been knitting away at furiously – it’s hopefully going to turn into a beautiful circle-scarf or should I say “snood”! Hope you’ve been having an absolutely wonderful week.

 

A Few Books I Love

Yesterday, as I was making the new buttons that you see on the sidebar (aren’t they gorgeous? I love them way too much.) I realized I had hardly any good pictures of my favourite books to use as a background image. So I went through and pulled a few tomes from my shelves and snapped some pictures. I realized today that this picture is also an opportunity to share a few of my well-loved books with you! These are books that I have read, enjoyed, and would recommend for a great read.
