Emergency Chocolate

This doesn't fit the Daily Shoot "red" theme very well...but this great gift just HAD to be my subject for today. My favorite part is where the directions for use say "Alternatively massage into the affected area." Too funny! My mother-in-law bought this for me. I think she loves me!

It's good chocolate, too! Uhoh...I feel a chocolate emergency coming on...

My apologies

I'm sorry there wasn't a post for yesterday. :-( I didn't take any pictures, and I just took the day off of blogging. I actually took the day of the internet for the most part. I do hope you'll forgive me :-). 

It's almost time for a book review...so photos and a book review will be coming soon!

Trying for bokeh

Sandra posted a challenge today to work on bokeh, and the Digital Photography School challenge for the weekend was "dessert." I combined the two challenges in this photo of our York peppermint patties with Christmas light bokeh in the background. 
 

 

Our New Primroses

We found these beauties on sale at WalMart. Caleb loves, loves, loves plants and flowers, so he couldn't choose just one. They were only 62 cents each, so I let him pick 5 for us and 1 for Felice.

The Daily Shoot assignment is "Make a photograph of something that you find amusing today." A bunch of primroses might not be amusing by themselves, but Caleb's excitement about the flowers, and his enjoyment of our basket full of blossoms was VERY amusing.

Coffeeeeeee!

I'm sorry - it isn't as exciting as I'd hoped. I had a terrible backlog of work today, and that got most of my attention. Coffee was my friend today!

Powerless

We were without power for most of the day today. Apparently, our local substation had a fire in the early hours of the day, and judging from what I hear around town the people in charge of fixing it did a great job getting power back on in a timely manner. Kudos to the power people!

That does mean that I didn't take/edit any photos today. I apologize. I will post tomorrow with something worth seeing - I hope. Thanks for stopping in!

Oh - and a note to anyone who owns a lift chair - there's a reason they tell you to put it down each time you get out of it. If the power goes off while it is lifted, you won't be able to use your chair for the entire 18 hours the power is off because it will be lifted too high to sit in. My mother is a wealth of useful information.

I finished up a couple projects this morning

I just had some buttons to put on to finish up these two fun projects. The first one is my first felted project. It's a fun, happy purse that I made for Fancy. I love it!

This one was a very quick little backpack. I can't wait to make more of these! I'm going to try one with some beads, and one with fun yarn...so fast and so cute!
