Friendly Friday – The Colour Pink
….thanks to Amanda and her guest blogger, Vero for hosting Friendly Friday
Pink was not a colour that I wore as a child. As an adult I discovered that a warm pink was very flattering to my skin tone and I started to purchase and wear pink items. Our granddaughter loves pink.
Visiting From Afar
….every other week we drive to Hamilton for a procedure at McMaster Hospital and then we drive over to our daughter’s house and visit from a socially acceptable distance
This week our trip to Hamilton allowed us to see our granddaughter and daughter from the porch. Winnie proudly showed off her new bicycle. Fortunately is was a beautiful warm day and we were able to sit outside. We also brought her some new art materials and she promptly made us a picture in her new sketchbook.
Soon after she finished her picture she politely excused herself because she had to get things ready for her tea party with her other grandmother, whom she was seeing later that day. At 4 1/2 she seems so mature. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was cradling her in my arms.
A Photo a Week Challenge – Sleeping
…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
I love how babies and animals look when they’re asleep.
Playing
…with my granddaughter
It’s amazing to me what I won’t do for my granddaughter. Getting down at her level is not easy for me. It’s one reason why I want to get into better shape. On Friday my husband and I spent the day in Hamilton to give our daughter some time to work on her at home business. The teachers here are on rotating strikes so we try to help whenever we can. Here are some of the images of our playful day.
A Photo a Week Challenge – Eyes
…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
I’ve probably posted some of these before but they’re my favourite ‘eye’ photos.
Day 20 of the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
….thanks to Rainee for introducing me to the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
I’m a bit behind this week posting all my creativity actiivities. Sometimes to get creative you host other people like we did on Sunday and other times you get creative or are inspired by creativity at work. This week I was inspired by the creativity of my granddaughter’s pizza making skills and the pizza making skills by 14 children at Montgomery’s Inn who were attending an all day workshop where one of the activities involved making and personalizing their own pizzas.
I very much enjoyed helping our granddaughter with making her pizza and walking around on Tuesday and giving guidance to the boys and girls at Montgomery’s Inn.
A Photo a Week Challenge – Three Angles
….thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting this week’s A Photo a Week Challenge
The challenge this week is to photograph one object from three different angles.
30 Day Creativity Challenge – Day 19
…thanks to Rainee for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge\
I’ve been making art with my granddaughter again and making pizza with her. I’ve always loved her free style but she does have a vision and you don’t want to tamper with that. That was clearly evident when she decided to make her pizza in the shape of a ‘stop sign’. The adults kept wanting her to add cheese to her creation but she refused and when they didn’t listen she had a melt down. Oma and Papa to the rescue. Lots of dough left over so we started again. Here are our efforts from last Sunday.
