Day 18 – Inside Fun and Games

My husband is not much for board games but I might be able to entice him to play a game of scrabble. He is, however, keen to keep connecting with our kids and one way that we do that is with an App called House Party. We use it mainly to chat but there are games on the site such as trivia and drawing. Our four year old granddaughter particularly likes the drawing game.

Another game I’ve been playing with a friend is WordFeud. It’s a scrabble game that we play on our phones with each other.

Here are some screen shots of my inside games.

Day 17 – Still Life Photography

I thought I knew what ‘still life photography’ was but it seemed from Leanne’s post that there was more to it than just taking a photo of an object.

According to the Format team still life photography is as follows:

In a nutshell, a still life is a work of art that focuses on inanimate subjects. Usually, the subjects are commonplace objects. That can include both manmade objects (such as vases, items of clothing, and consumer products) and natural objects (like plants, food, rocks, and shells).

The major advantage offered by still life is the freedom to arrange the objects any way you want. Still life photography follows the same philosophy. A lot of emphasis is put on the arrangement of the items, the lighting, and the framing.

With that bit of information I’ve been on the hunt for interesting objects around the house to photograph.

One things I have lots of is cups. I drink coffee mostly from mugs but over the years I have inherited numerous teacups from family members.

Today’s theme is ‘from the fruit bowl’.

The bowl was too yellow for my liking so I threw in some tomatoes. Tomatoes, technically, are a fruit.

…I’ve finally caught up….today’s theme is Family

Thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting this fun challenge. Today we are suppose to photograph a family member. Since my husband and I are the only ones in our house right now, besides the dog, I decided to share this photo. I took this on the weekend when I was feeling particularly sad. He brought a smile to my face while he was doing what he loves to do….cook for me.

On day 12 the challenge is to find something abstract at home. I have lots of abstract paintings but I thought that was too simplistic so I chose one abstract painting and two objects with interesting patterns.

Ornament in a Cupboard – Day 9

…thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting 30 Day From Home Challenge

This Easter is so different from other years and because I’m not seeing our granddaughter I hadn’t taken out any of our Easter decorations. This challenge got me thinking that despite the fact that there will be no family here that is not a reason to not decorate the house.

Day 8 – Furniture

When I saw the theme for today I actually cringed because we’re in dire need of new living room furniture but we’ve decided not to purchase anything until our dear Frances is no longer with us. Thinking about it though I decided that it didn’t need to be something from the living room or something that we sit on.

This is probably my most favourite piece of furniture. Some of you might not consider it furniture but it plays a prominent role in the decor of my house.
