64/365 New Project

#D453: Sometimes what’s out of focus can make the shot.

Create a photograph today where some/all of your subject isn't in focus.

I found this gorgeous Super Cupcake pattern from Ravelry.com. Ahhh... I just started it last night but I think it will be my next favorite project! It eats up a lot of yarn though... like 750 yards! Definitely NOT a one-skein project. And it's going to be a wonderful "special occasion" present for loved ones!

I tried to photograph the sky at dusk through my bedroom window. It was a quick one as Alyssa had been really contrary today. But I managed to take these.

I like the composition of the trees better in the next photo though...

And lastly, photos of another one of my Valentine candies from hubby...



63/365 It's About Finding Your Creative Space

This is my "normal" creative space. I sat on that chair this afternoon squeezing my brain, thinking about how I was going to do TDS assignments 451 & 452. I had been physically exhausted the past 2 days, not even my brain would function right. And so I sat some more... but this time at my other creative space --- on the floor, right beside that bedroom window --- where I would surround myself with my favorite things, and then I knit and think.

I squeezed my brain some more... and holy crap! What is that by the footboard?!?! Tiny crumbs. PRINGLES!!! I don't regularly give chips to Alyssa (especially not in my room!) but I let her loose with a can of Pringles 2 days ago for #450. Time to bring out my all-time favorite light vacuum. Ahhhhhh, click! And so today's assignment got done :)

#DS452: Change your point of view.

Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.

62/365 This Week's Favorites

#DS451: Make a photograph that features a leading line through it today.

Draw the viewers eye through the image.

I love McDonald's for the little treat Alyssa gets everytime we get a Happy Meal (Yup, other restaurants' toys don't appeal much to her). These ponies are her newest friends. And the fact that they can entertain her for at least 2 hours, make them my friends too!

I found this very colorful yarn at Michael's the other day. Alyssa wants a hat and a potato chip scarf out of it. I just made her 3 scarves and she hasn't even worn any of them outside --- only when she struts around in her heels inside her bedroom. So I'm thinking another special girl should have it. Hmmmm.... :)

61/365 Attack of the Hairbrush

#DS450: We all prepare for things every day.

Illustrate preparedness in a photograph today.

Believe me, she has 6 hairbrushes throughout the entire house and her hair is constantly brushed. And yet, I still get this.

Say hello, my"Pringle Monster"...

60/365 Waiting for Daddy

#DS449: Use a window or a door as a frame for your subject today in a photograph.

I thought I was done with the "window frame" theme 4 days ago? Lol. But ok here's another photograph...

No, I didn't want to take a chance and leave her near the window by herself just because I wanted to do a TDS assignment :P

So I used the window's lines instead to direct the viewer's eyes to the expression of the subject.
