Meet Able

“It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that whatever you say to them, they always purr.”

― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There

Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of adding a new member to our little family unit…a little ginger kitten. He’s a rather special kitten because he only has one eye. He was found abandoned in a cardboard box with his brother (who sadly did not survive) and he had a severely ulcerated eye which had to be removed. My youngest, Callum, chose him and named him.

A Weekend Away

A couple of weekends ago, I took a little journey to visit some of my family who live around the Salisbury area. My family are going through a very difficult time – I’m not the only one who has cancer – I wanted to lend my support and visit while I was reasonably healthy. Although the purpose of the trip wasn’t to take photos, unsurprisingly, I did take some – here are some rather random photos – taken with the E-PL1, iPhone and Fujifilm Instax Mini 25!

365 Project – April

April was a frustrating month for me…bogged down with fatigue and medication side effects…but I persevered with my art projects and spring finally arrived. You can see the individual pictures here.

Instax at Hylands

I spent a lovely afternoon at Hylands today. There was a family event on (a dragon hunt) so lots of people and activity, plus the sun was out. I also met a 13 week old puppy called Bomber (see below), and I really wanted to take him home with me. Here are some pictures (scanned), taken with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 25.

Flower Collages

I have been rather tired lately due to my medications so I’ve not been able to get out much, or at least anywhere that warrants taking photographs. Instead I’ve kept myself busy with various art projects – collaging has been one of these projects and I have been preoccupied with making little flower type ones for cards, which I thought I’d share with you today.

The Big Egg Hunt 2013

I was very excited to find out that there was going to be another Big Egg Hunt this year. The first Big Egg Hunt was last year and it took place in London, where over 200 decorated eggs were scattered across the city (you can see some of my photographs from last year on the Click Collective blog). This time, 101 decorated eggs would be travelling across the UK, starting in Covent Garden, London, then Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, and then back down to London. I wasn’t able to follow them all over the country, but I did manage to see them in Covent Garden (twice) and Liverpool.

Squiggles and blobs

I have never seen myself as an artist in the traditional sense of the word, but I have always enjoyed playing around with pens and paint, especially at school and then when my children were small. Although I’ve never really stopped making things, since last Christmas, I have increasingly been incorporating some form of “artwork” into my daily life.

365 Project – March

Ahhh…March has been a weird month weather-wise…spring is definitely dragging her heels this year…we have had mostly snow this month! Here’s my collage of the March pictures…the individual ones can be seen here.

Love and Laughter in Liverpool

“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.”
