Photo Scavenger Hunt: March
WooHoo! It’s April! And the end of the March Hangover. I was running late all month, and that includes finishing my photos for the March Photo Scavenger Hunt, hosted every month by Kathy. So, here are my shots:
Peeling paint: A window on our house. I paint it every other year, then it peels. Two years ago, we had real painters and Mr. Painter said that whoever painted this trim strip before him didn’t use primer. I begged to differ since it was me. And now? It looks like Mr. Painter didn’t use primer. Joke’s on him. There’s just something weird about this piece of trim — it’s the only spot on the house that must be constantly painted.
A shadow: From my serger thread rack in my sewing room.
Something as old as me: A quilt that MeMum made for me just before I was born. I wish you could see her embroidery up close and personal — it’s gorgeous. Her friend drew the scene — it’s Winken, Blinken and Nod.
An extra close-up photo. Isn’t it cute?
A ring: A little ring that BigDaddy bought me when we visited The Big Pit in Wales. I wear it on my pinkie and I love it.
A rainbow: Not happ’nin here in March. So I made my own.
A lamb: Dorothy, we’re not in Scotland! I don’t know any real lambies around here, so you get my knitting tape measure.
A lion: Well, I would have been perfectly happy to pay the entrance price to our local Children’s Zoo so that I could take a picture of the lions, but they’re closed for the winter. So, since TheEmptyNestChild thinks he’s a lion, I made him wear a homemade mane. Poor Guy.
A fancy gate: Not fancy as in ornate, but fancy as in big.
A collection: This is ThimbleannaLand, after all. This is MeMum’s collection and she was none too happy that I didn’t give her time to polish her thimbles.
Something sentimental: My grandma’s apron hanging in my pantry. She died when I was 17 and I still miss her. I love to wear her apron when I need good cooking karma.
An empty chair: How ’bout a bunch of empty chairs waiting for spring so they can go outside (to be ravaged by nest building squirrels)?
Something green: Our chives are bravely peeking out into the chilly spring air.
You can view all of the other entries for the Photo Scavenger Hunt in the flickr group. I love to see all the different interpretations of the list from all over the world.
Have a great week!
XOXO,
Anna
Oooh, and did you see the google banner today? Celebrating the 119th anniversary of the ice cream sundae. I think it’s adorable!
