RED

One of things I find really inspiring is color palettes and how people play off of it. So I decided I wanted to try and find pictures where one color pops. I'm starting with red.

 

The Best of: 365 Challenge Part 1

Remember I mentioned how I wanted to do the 365 photo challenge? At first I thought of posting a picture a day here on this blog, but sometimes I felt like I didn't have anything to share with that image, and it seemed like a waste of space. But then there were a couple of pictures that I just wanted to share so badly, but I felt that they needed a bit more form than just "Here's a cool picture I took! Toodle--loo!" Thus, this post was born. I'll try to make a "Best of" post for my favorite 365 pictures and post them here together. It'll be fun, and my photos won't feel as lonely. (Do photos feel lonely?)

More to come soon, I'm sure!

Three Things: Being Home

I've found it difficult in the past, to really get into different forms of projects around the house. Usually, when I'm home, I go on cleaning sprees and reorganize everything in my mom's kitchen... which drives her nuts when she's looking for something. This year, I've hit a road block in the cleaning/organizing because I can't get my hands on an over the door spice rack. 

I can't find them anywhere. 

So, in order to circumvent going stir crazy looking for this spice rack, I've decided to do some other house projects like painting some terracotta things my mom bought in India. This picture was from when I was still in the middle of of painting it, but it's done now!

I've also taken a new fancy to taking a lot of outdoor shots of New Hampshire as well. This one was taken as I was going into the Michael's near my house. 

I've also been baking a lot! I keep finding myself in baking aisles at Grocery stores and picking up random things, without any idea how to use them! However, I've experimented a lot, and cookies are definitely something that I've really enjoyed playing around with. So far I've made some cinnamon chip cookies, nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies, and a pomegranate dark chocolate chunk cookie! Playing around with ingredients is definitely a lot of fun, and I love playing around with new flavors and foods. I'm going to make a peppermint mocha cookie this weekend, and if all goes well, I think I'll do a week of delicious cookie recipes for you all! 

I hope everyone's been having a great January so far!-- Sheilly

Favorite Pictures of 2012 Part 2

I know my last post about my favorite pictures seemed very final, but as I was gazing through my pictures, I found a couple more that I really wanted to share. So without further adieu...

     

I hope you enjoyed round two of my favorite pictures! :) -- Sheilly

Favorite Pictures of 2012

Really not much to say here. I'm not someone who likes to do posed pictures, but I love catching sunsets and random things that I deem pretty. So this is a collection of small moments that were too beautiful to see once, and have been immortalized. Enjoy! 

And last but not least: My favorite selfie shot this year...

This actually had the funniest story. My brother and I were moving into college again this year, and we had SO MUCH STUFF. We had so many tiny things at the top of everything that every turn my brother took, I was literally ducking my head in fear of getting decapitated. So naturally, I had to post this picture on Facebook, with the words: 

I'm in PERIL.

Although I think this one is a close second:

There's really no way to describe this picture. My roommate and I are the best roommates ever. 

Thanks for looking! -- Sheilly
