30 Day Snap | Almost Did It!

A recap...

 

 

 

I have finally given up on my 30 Day Snap attempt at day 24! It was definitely a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I got a bit behind and then started trying to catch up but never quite got there.

 

I love the idea behind the 30 Day Snap - to try and get us using our camera's and noticing our surroundings, but it's definitely a stretch. I think It would have been easier over summer, rather than the middle of winter!!

 

I hope you enjoyed my little posts - I've got a few post ideas up my sleeve and a few goodies in the next week. I've also started using my partners swanky camera to take my shots and I think they are definitely making my photo's look more professional.

Perfect Winter Treat...

 

 

Mum's homemade pumpkin soup is a perfect treat during winter! Better get my rug out...look like the stormy weathers coming.

New Dress!

 

 

I found this gorgeous material the other day and knew straight away that I wanted to make a maxi dress. I used inspiration from this tutorial from DIY Maternity to make it! Love it. Cannot wait to wear it when we are away next week.

New Toy!

 

 

As I have mentioned previously, my partner got a new swanky camera. Well today his tripod arrived and I have had a bit of a play around with it. I cannot wait to go away next week so we can really test it out and hopefully take some great shots!

Getting Around to Some Unfinished Projects

My Partner and I have finally finished revamping one of our free side tables we were given by a family friend! I think the new version looks great. New post coming soon on how we achieved it!

 

Now on to the next one...

Birthday!

It was my partners birthday yesterday and I decided to bake him an AFL cake! The top photo shows the cake before and the bottom picture shows the aftermath. He blew so hard, the coconut went all over the table and on the floor! He even managed to blow off some of the piped icing!

Winter's Here!

 

I know I am a bit behind with these snaps, but it has been a lot harder to take photos everyday than I thought it would be.

Yesterday my partner and I went down to Victor Harbor for lunch and to also try out his new camera. It was freezing cold but great to get out of the house. I actually took the photo above on my iPhone using my Camera+ app.

Roses are red, violets are blue...

How gorgeous is this flower? This bouquet was sent to work today (unfortunately not for me!) and I couldn't help but capture the vibrant colour of this flower.

Early morning Fog

 

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning before work I do a Yoga session. Coming in to winter, it is harder and harder to get out of bed and this morning it was so cold there was fog on the oval!

New Camera Shots

I know these flowers have featured once before in this 30 Day Snap feature, but I have been trying out my partners camera this weekend and flowers are a great practice tool!

Such a clear picture. I cannot wait to learn more about it and take more amazing shots.

Beach Walks

Beach walks with Benjii, my sisters partners dog, is always a nice addition to the weekend! (Even in Winter)

Ps. My partner finally got his new camera, so will be playing around with it and putting some snaps up with it soon!

Twisted Headbands...

My new favourite winter accessory. They are so cute, and keep your head / ears warm without having to wear a bulky beanie / beret.

I made these myself! You can find my project here and the original project information here. Easy enough for someone who has been knitting for a little while - you will need to have some knowledge of cables though!

NB: I used thinner wool than the project, so I doubled the amount of stitches

I will do a post soon with the different ways to wear these headbands.

I am very excited about my new purchases. All of this cost me less than $26 which is one reason why I love AVON!

Sunday Feast

I love spreads like this, especially on a Sunday when the footy's on! Only problem is I always tend to eat too much because its sooo good and you never realise how much you are eating.

Blog Editing

 

I love changing my blog every so often. They are never massive changes but I think a change is as good as a holiday. I am trying out a few different programs to edit - who knew there were so many out there!!

 

 

 

Perfect job on these chilly nights.
