As you know, from my last post, I am beginning a new blog called, “In the Art Cupboard“. It is here that I plan to do a 365 day project through the medium of photography.
I am making a point to be armed with my camera more and more as I go out to run errands, shop, or we take a walk through our beloved woods.
This is a small test, dipping my toes in the water to see what I think of doing this project, is it best to leave my photos as they are, do I like the idea of tweaking some of them, do I want them all to have a certain feel, or will that change depending on what I am shooting?
So for the next 4 days I will place one image on my blog in a miniature series of “Lost & Found”. These are all items that I have found out and about while talking a walk. Some still remain where I found them, others have either been taken by someone else or swept away….
You might have noticed recently that I have a new button in my sidebar. It is a link to my new blog. I have decided to take on a 365 day project in conjunction with my new job and if all goes well, I would like to continue taking photographs of a chosen theme for a set amount of time. Sometimes a picture really can say a 1,000 words!
I still have some tweaks to make and cleaning up to do, but the bones are there and the structure is slowly being defined. My new job is a position within a school Art Deparment and my office is literally “In the Art Cupboard”.
It is filled with the most delicious items vintage and new, that are used to set up still lifes or for use in the students personal work. There are tons of old car parts, lanterns, ancient suitcases, doll parts, vintage bottles, old-fashioned typewriters, just to name a few things that are contained within those walls.
I shall begin, with what I hope to be an ongoing project by photographing the items hidden within my cupboard for 365 days. I hope you join me on my journey as I begin to discover what exactly is “In the Art Cupboard”!
Armed with my new camera, a trip into central London this week, meant an excuse to go into Snog and grab a tasty frozen treat! I’ll be honest, at first, I was not sure about their frozen yogurt, but now I think I have been won over. I really enjoyed their chocolate flavour with white chocolate stars, and they were far from skimpy on my toppings!
The walls had wonderful colorful art, like a page out of a storybook. My first Snog treat was on my Birthday day out and I was not expecting the Greek slightly soured tartness to it, I expected it to be more like frozen yogurt from the States, which is sweeter, but little by little, it is growing on me, even if only for the chocolate stars!
* A note, for my non British readers, “snog” is slang for kissing in jolly ol’ England & I like the fact that they have played on that word, because who doesn’t “fancy a snog”?
I have been working hard these last few days. I don’t seem to have gotten very far however, this week has been unbelievably busy. I have been out of the house more than I have been in and trying to do all my sewing in the in-between.
But, tonight I am inside, the dishes are done, the iron is hot and I am just about to make some Jenny Wren tags to sew into little bunny and bear legs. Before I do that, I am going to eat the last slice of this:
The marble cake we made for the Fourth of July has managed to stick around a few days longer than I thought since we have been out so much. So, the last slice, is mine! After all, a girl needs to keep up her strength when sewing so many little creatures together…

Happy Summer Solstice. I am going to enjoy every drop of sunshine on this, the longest day of the year! Here’s to sun-kissed days and starlit nights!

“Hey, I put my new shoes on today and suddenly every-things right!”
That is the song that played in my head this morning as I put my new shoes on! My crystal ball was correct, they did jump onto my feet yesterday afternoon after a glorious day wandering around the Quilt exhibition!
I have so much to share, but for now, I am off to bed, the rain outside is lulling me to sleep on this lazy-dazy Sunday evening!
