A Newedist Christmas

Merry Christmas!! We received a lovely package on Friday with gifts from Chris and Laura. Laura has made us some fantastic hats and I continue to be blown away with her knit work.

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but the colour of my hat matches my eyes perfectly. I've never seen my eyes "pop" so much with an article of clothing. Robert said it was my best looking hat and that it suited me well. :)

Robert received a lovely black hat with black ribbed detail at the edge. Being a little camera shy, Robert didn't want to have his picture taken so I took a detail shot and one of the back of his head. Laura's work is impeccable. You can find more of her incredible knit work at Newedist.

The Fortnight Challenge

In 2010, I attempted Project 365. The object was to take one photo everyday for an entire year and I failed miserably. This year, I am still determined to pick up the camera to practice my amateur skills, but felt another go at 365 was not doable. I have too much on my plate as it is.

I asked my colleague at work, who is also an avid photographer, if he would be up for a 365 challenge this year. It's an intimidating challenge to take and one he has decided to possibly take on for another time in the future. We did, however, decide to start a bi-weekly challenge. The theme for this challenge was "The Colour Blue" and here are a few examples of my work this weekend.
