This could be day 1 of 365 but I'm still deciding whether to commit...or will I end up being committed? I may give it a few days to see how I feel. It is a big commitment to take on when life is so hectic anyway.
I thought I'd kick the year off with a Gloria portrait though as I've had this idea for a while.

Happy New Year to you all from me and Gloria. She's really hoping her hair turns out well...maybe watch this space ;)


Edit: Well, I just hit the join button so I guess I'm crazier than I thought and about to take on my fourth 365

Reasons for joining:
1. Eric www.flickr.com/photos/54515311@N00/ said I was crazy enough to do it.
2. On New Year's Day my osteopath posted on Instagram "Do something that scares you" Well, committing to a 365 is pretty scary!
3. I am hoping it will help with the return of my mojo
4. At least it's not a 366
5. I just want to do it

The theme for this week is introduction.

This is me under the guise of 'Gloria'. I am hoping Gloria will help me out with the 365. She'd had a few glasses of Prosecco on NYE so agreed to this ;)
I am among other things a hairdresser...hence the gear...the hairdryer doesn't get used these days but came in handy for this idea.

I bought a poinsettia just before Christmas and it's been shedding its leaves since I got it. Can't waste them so they had to appear in a photo. Now, I know it's not the third today but I'd added the printers block as there were three leaves and three hearts...and I just wanted to use it.

Day 3/365
Macro Monday - Cotton

These are face scrubbies that I crocheted. They are an eco friendly alternative to cotton pads for makeup removal. We are doing our best to avoid anything single use. HMM

365 weekly theme - Introduction:

I am a maker of various things. Mostly handmade greetings cards so expect to see some of those in my 365. I used to teach card making and scrapbooking to adults but now it's just a hobby.

I finally succumbed to joining the 365 today (my fourth). I managed a photo each day for three days and have set up a flat lay for tomorrow...piece of cake huh? ;)

Day 4: 365
Definitely Dreaming - Man Made

I set this flat lay up yesterday while the idea was fresh in my head.

I bought these printers blocks at a vintage emporium while visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Nottingham. It's a good job it was almost closing time or I could have got really carried away. Arranged with some of my other vintage props and the number 4 (for day 4) along with the little letters bottom left, from my craft stash.
Now to try to think ahead for tomorrow's photo.

Day 5/365:

I had another shot ready for today but then we had an unexpected visit from our little grandson. I can re-do the other photo much more easily than to try to get this one again. He isn't usually very obliging with the camera.
