45-51/365

forty five // it took me twenty minutes and an hour in between to put my quilt cover on. i will never understand why it's so hard to make a bed.
forty six // helping with sunday school & coming away with a homemade (churchmade?) bracelet; "GAWWP: God Answers When We Pray"
forty seven // my plant collection is building up. i'm trying to add colour but i definitely think i'm more of a green fan when it comes to plants.
forty eight // it reminds me of something off harry potter. the exposed bulb is my favourite part of this plant.
forty nine // i actually really like my room with bare walls. wanting to purge and only own what i need is something i'm wanting more & i'm embracing it. maybe it's boring, but it makes me feel calm.
fifty // this week has been really bad & it's a bit of a shock as i haven't been that bad in a long time. i haven't left the house since tuesday so my shoes have been unworn this week.
fifty one // i get to dogsit my puppy this weekend and i'm so glad it was this weekend. i was really missing him this week and we've had lots of snuggles to make ourselves feel better.

39-44/365

thirty nine // magazine collection in volume order.
forty // on my string.
forty one // mood light & candlestick.
forty two // i can't justify buying a diptyque for myself so this will just have to do.
forty three // a sleeping dog next to me while i listened to one of the kids i babysit read.
forty four // lazy day & being a valentines scrooge. i've never been one to want to celebrate valentines day.

32-38/365

thirty two // i'm starting to think of lie ins as major day wasters. does that mean i'm getting old? please, no.
thirty three // daffodils & white tulips; two of my favourites. note to self, daffodils will make your tulips wither & die.
thirty four // i love mail days, especially when they come with pretty little trinket boxes.
thirty five // "borrowed" an aloe plant from my mum's collection at home. it's now differing between my string shelf & the windowsill in the kitchen.
thirty six // my favourite dog. he never lets me take pictures of him anymore, it's like he's become a teenager, so i was so happy when he let me get a few snaps of him all sleepy on the couch on my phone & my big camera. he is a stud.
thirty seven // i haven't woken up until i've had my coffee.
thirty eight // i love this quote from william morris. i hate clutter and constantly want to purge, so this is a great reminder not to let it get on top of me. you can get a poster here.

25-31/365

twenty five // trip to the seaside for assignment images. it was so windy i could lean into the wind and it held me up, my hat blew off my head & my mascara ran off with the water streaming from my eyes, hawt.
twenty six // my mum is so beautiful.
twenty seven // books, books, books. my house felt so empty & bare without my books. i still have so many at my parent's, but i have most (including my HP series) of my favourites with me. yay!
twenty eight // i finally saw city & colour after years of just missing him and dang it was amazing. dallas green is something else.
twenty nine // managed to hand my assignment in on time without stressing/getting anxious/panicking for the first time. it's progress.
thirty // constantly changing what's on my shelf & how it's arranged. i don't think i'll ever be happy.
thirty one // i've either forgotten how to take a decent photograph, my camera hates me, or it's so outdated it's refusing to take a picture in focus. i'm hoping it's option three.


happy february, everyone!

18-24/365

eighteen // after months searching for a white moleskine, i finally found one randomly.
nineteen // new shelf & new plant.
twenty // new (and only) light fitting.
twenty one // where i'd rather be on rainy dark mornings.
twenty two // shelf in my bedroom & new cacti.
twenty three // my assignment is due in next wednesday so i have been spending the week taking photographs, putting off researching artists & watching a lot of parks & rec.
twenty four // a couple of colour coordinated books & my mini soft leather bible on the shelf. i really want some bell jars (hurhur 'the bell jar' is there) for the shelves & some nice looking candles to display.

it's the week before my deadline is due so i've spent the week photographing, editing, typing and finally getting microsoft word back on my macbook. i'll share the twenty six images from my assignment when i've submitted it next wednesday. i'm also going on a field trip to the tate on tuesday before going to see city & colour (major flail) in manchester. other than that, i'm preparing myself for a art history essay i'm going to be writing next month.

11-17/365

eleven // mum & dog.
twelve // daily coffee on my new cup & saucer.

sixteen // new blinds & a fixed porch light.
seventeen // coffee & college work.

i tried really hard to take more photographs on my dslr this week, and even though i didn't take every day this week on my dslr, it's better than it has been & i already find myself going to grab it more than i was.

4-10/365

four // dad's birthday consisted of a meal & seeing the secret life of walter mitty. i tried to spend it offline.

seven // first thing hung on the walls in the new house.
eight // current read & a coffee after college.
nine // wilted.
ten // new pillows arrived in the post. learnt two new things on photoshop that make me feel so much more confident about making the images i take look how i imagine in my mind. today i also realised how much i really want this 365 project to be of photographs taken on my dslr, not just a quick snap on my iphone (cough nine of the ten so far).

PROJECT 365 // 1-3/365

this year, i really want to do a photo series project. inspired by so many cute 52 projects i followed during 2013, and hearing about so many 365 projects; i want to do my own and share them weekly (every friday).

one // i found this by chance in waterstones & thought it would be great to have a new daily devotional for 2014.
two // trying to make a house full of boxes of unmade furniture & unfinished floors a home with a bunch of early tulips.
three // moving in earlier than expected. day filled with boxes and flat packed furniture.
