Today's word is "glasses". 1 pair belongs to me, 1 is M's and another belongs to a colleague we mugged for the purposes of art. I really like the lines and reflections within it and the cord from M's glasses.

A creative challenge I've set myself. Can I take a picture every day that says something about me - my life, my art, my friends. Will I last a year or will I lose interest after the first few weeks? There's only one way to find out.
Today sees the start of a new week and another Word a Day. This week it's being supplied by M, who I work with.
She finds my blog fascinating. Although she hasn't actually seen the cyber version, she's often witnessed me taking photos in the dept and was thrilled when I asked her if she'd supply me with my words this week.
Anyway, her word today was "boxes". We have plenty at work so when everyone left this evening, I unleashed my camera. This is what I came up with. The "bokeh" in the foreground is quite deliberate. I took the view that I have this gift, I may as well work it!

Ok this may not look like an exciting photo but it was either this or my over-flowing laundry basket. (My life is so rock 'n' roll1).
Actually this is a shot of my supper. It was fabulous. Cajun salmon, wilted spinach with cous-cous and a glass of white. What more could a girl want? A piece of Tarte au Citron that was dessert! Cajun salmon is my favourite thing to cook and I've often impressed friends with this. Normally after the first couple of mouthfuls it's met with the exclamation "Why are you single Hots when you cook like this?" Because I have very high standards.

I thought I'd share some of my sewing with you today. I wasn't very well today so had a day off work. This afternoon I was feeling a bit brighter so sat in bed with buckets of tea and watched trashy DVDs whilst working on this. It's an on/off piece I've been working on for a while and is based on stars in the sky. I'm not sure what it'll be when it's grown up - probably a wall hanging of some sort - but progress is very very slow so I doubt it's a problem I'll have to concern myself with for a while yet.
