52 Fridays - A Self Portait Challenge - Week 3

Week 3 already. Is it too early in the year to admit I am getting cold feet about signing up for this challenge? 52 photos of me? Why Helen? Why?? 48 to go! Let's dive right in....

This weeks theme was to take a photo of part of your body that you like. We tend to immediately point out the things we don't like rather than focus on what makes us feel beautiful. I have always liked my eyes, even though I am short sighted and need to wear my glasses to drive and watch telly. See? There we go! Immediately focusing on the bad things of the good things! They are either a blue or a green or inbetween depending in the light or maybe my mood. See the glint of madness in them today? Today was the official packing day for the move. I hate moving. I like the excitment of a new place but the actual moving, yucko! But don't my eyes look nice though?!

This is only one corner of the house, I am pointing to the box marked "sewing items". Unpacking that box is still a few weeks away!

Thank goodness for removalists, but a pity the packers weren't too smart!

I forgot to say, when we moved back here, as we weren't sure how long it;s take to find, buy and move into our own house, we allocated some boxes as 'deliver immediately'. That included a substantial amount of my quilting stuff, but luckily it was only a few weeks before we had everything anyway.

Good for you for entering that challenge. I was invited, but I'm a bit too old, I think. Who wants to see wrinkles, anyway?

Moving is not my favorite either, but I haven't had to do it much. It looks like you're off to a good start with packing -- and the self portrait challenge :)

That is a sad little photo, you with your sewing stuff captive in a box. A picture paints a thousand words.
