Baby You Are One



It’s Party time at Our Beautiful World (Week 53)!  OBW is one today.  This week they have asked us to share a photo of when we were about the age of one.  The ladies are celebrating by having a birthday blog hop with prizes


I had to rummage at the back of cupboards and through boxes but I found a photo.  I was worried that I would only find the ones where I am naked on a rug. Fortunately I found a studio photograph. 

I was always amused at the way my hair was done.  When I asked my mother how she got it to sit that way she said “Spit”.  I think she was joking, at least I hope she was.


Happy Birthday OBW!!!

The Postman

The theme this week at Our Beautiful World is Mails. 

I had numerous ideas for this weeks cue but on Monday I popped out at lunch time to pick up some groceries and I saw a postman (mailman) delivering letters.  I decided this was an ideal subject for this week's cue.  So I chased him down the footpath and into an office block car park.  I think he thought I was a mad woman but he very kindly allowed me to take his photo.  You can see the letter boxes behind him.


When my son was a toddler we had a postman who rode a bike and blew a whistle when he delivered the post,  It was great excitement for my son and he would watch out the window waiting for him to come.

Thank you for visiting.

By the Seashore

When I saw the prompt for this week, By the Seasore, on Our Beautiful World  #51, I thought easy.  My office is across the road from the beach so I could pop across one lunch time.  By this morning still no photo so I knew if I didn’t go across the road before work I would miss another week.  I was a tad late for work but I will be able to join in this week


 It may be winter but was a nice morning to be walking on the beach.

Thank you for visiting.

Live Laugh Love

I don’t have a card tonight.  Instead I would like to show you my first attempt at a piece of canvas work. 

My mother has had failing health for some time and now needs constant care. Her room is very clinical so I made a canvas to bright it up a little.



I must admit I kept putting it off because I haven’t done anything like this before.  But time is running out and if I was ever going to make it now was the time.  It isn’t perfect but I am happy that I have been able make it for my mother.   

Thank you for visiting.
