projects :: new and old

I love fresh starts, a brand-spankin’ new white calendar.  I love to plan and fill in what’s going on and get ready for a new year.  This year, I’ve already cleaned up the house and rearranged again.  There is a good feeling I get when I can move some furniture around and the kids start spending time in a new spot and rediscover toys or crafts or books that we’ve had all along.  I’ve got a new schedule all mapped out for us for 2010.  I know from experience it’s not going to last, life will get in the way, but a girl has to have some goals and direction doesn’t she.

I wish I could go back and share all that has happened over the month or two since I last posted, but there’s just too much to cover and I just don’t have the words or time for that matter.  I want to share photos of Christmas presents I made, but I don’t have the pictures.  There were two yoga mat bags, this ball and a Wee Elephant named Peanut, two capes with hoods and a mermaid doll all handmade by me. (photo links are not mine, but found via Google)  Our Christmas break was very nice.  We stayed home a lot, all together and enjoyed an extended holiday with Daddy home to play games with and just be.

Now it’s back to reality for everyone.  It’s cold though.  Too cold to play outside.  Which is a weird thing for us.  I’ve had a fire going most of today and we are expecting really cold temperatures the rest of the week.

I’m starting a new project inspired by my desire to become a better photographer.  It is an idea that I found while reading this blog.

You can check out my new project here:

emerald lane :: 100 PHOTOS

If you want to join me and others to become a better photographer, go to one hundred photos and leave a comment and Toni will add you to the list of participants on her sidebar.  Even if you don’t have a blog, try it and post them to Facebook or to your own album.  It will challenge you.
