Week Two - Focus 52x2 - I am

Week two of Focus 52x2 is I am. This week I could have defined myself as many things - I am stressed, I am busy, I am without internet, I am wearing funky tights, I am feeling huge, I am a mom, wife, teacher, librarian, hopeful, sad, tired, ambitious. So many. Here are a few pictures helping along the description:

I am a failed knitter. I am someone who loves this wool and wool like it. I saw this when I was at the craft store buying more wool for costumes I need.

I am a lover of daisies. So pretty.

I am producing 'Phantom of the Opera'. The Artistic Director gave me this for Christmas. I've rehomed it to my office. It's near the disco ball. This also says something about my office - kids come by to look at it sometimes.

Starfish on the beach on a windy day. I am someone who sometimes feels like this little fallen star. Needing to find the tide to bring me back. Sleep helps.

I am an island girl. It's a cold island in the North Atlantic but it's an island and the ocean is my friend.

Week One - Focus 52x2 - New

And we're back - new focus 52 project! The theme this week was, quite fittingly, new. I put up two pictures:

New in the stores this week it's....

Valentines supplies. No wonder time flies - major holidays and events are so planned out by the time they get here they're boring!

I bought myself a little treat:

My little red ukulele. It makes me happy. I just need to get the strings to relax and stay in tune!! Of course, being a mom, everyone assumes it's for my son. But no - he's using my old one and I have a brand new geeky little one!

Holy Crap it's week 50! And more than that, I took some on theme!!

Sparkle and shine was the theme. And here goes:

My work Holiday tree! It didn't take that long and it's beautiful!! I'm so very proud! Being a book nerd can be fun!

It sparkles. Someone asked me what kind of leaf it was and I said a jewelry leaf. I love how it shines and sparkles.

The lights shine like fireworks.
