ABC Wednesday

AARGH!!! My brain hurts from trying to think of a Z! Eventually I resorted to posting a photo of my still quite new Fujifilm Finepix Z10fd, which is the camera most of my photos are taken on as it's so small and easy to carry around.

For more Z posts, which are bound to be more original than mine, go to Mrs Nesbitt's Place!

ABC Wednesday - Y

ABC Wednesday once again, and this week is the letter Y, which is for yarn. This is some of my yarn stash - some of this yarn is to be used in the projects that featured in my "Unfinished" photo for ABC Wednesday a couple of weeks ago.

ABC Wednesday is upon us again, and this time it's the letter X. I thought I'd struggle for something to illustrate X, then looked around the living room and spotted the display cabinet housing my other half's collection of X-Men mini busts. I didn't think it was likely that I'd better that, so here it is!

ABC Wednesday again, and this time it's W for Wind - I've tried to capture that rather tricky subject by using a tree across the road from our house last weekend.

In case that didn't come out the way I wanted, I also decided to take a picture representing Wednesday as illustrated by my desk calendar! I love this calendar, as I get a different pair of shoes each and every day!

ABC Wednesday - V

I'm posting this early as it's easier than trying to log on first thing from work to do it!

V is for violin - this is my violin from when I was a teenager and having lessons from an irascible old Irish man - he informed me repeatedly that at around 16 I was far too old to start learning and that I'd never be any good! Truth is, fiddle Donegal-style is difficult at any age, and extremely painful to innocent bystanders while you're practicing, which my entire family and many household pets can vouch for!

When I left home, one of the things on my "to do list" was find a violin teacher and learn properly - I had hopes of maybe even getting near Grade 8 - but sadly it's still on the list as I haven't had the time or the money to do anything about it. (I think when I left home I thought life was going to be one long round of doing whatever I wanted - I didn't reckon on having to work for a living!)

Now, I think I'm doing my other half a favour by not attempting it - I'm extremely rusty and he doesn't deserve the agony! Besides, I'd have to cut my fingernails... :-)

ABC Wednesday

Time for ABC Wednesday again, and this time it's U, which is for unfinished, like the various knitting projects in this photo. The red one is a hat for a friend's currently unborn baby, which is on hold while I work on something for my new niece (it won't be needed for a while yet, after all). The yellow thing is the barely started beginnings of a cardigan for myself, while the white and yellow one is something I started making ages ago for a friend's baby before changing my mind and making something else instead. Eventually, I'm sure I'll finish all of them!

ABC Wednesday

T is for Twmpathiau, which is the Welsh translation for "Humps", as seen on the road sign just outside our house, which is just before the junction with a road that has a lot of speed bumps and speed tables. As my other half says, the Black Eyed Peas song wouldn't be quite the same if it was "My Twmpathiau"!

My first attempt at participating in Mrs Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday...

S is for Swarovski, my favourite bling, and here are my two gorgeous Swarovski pendants from my equally lovely other half:

This red heart was a present for my 30th birthday this year

And this silver one was another birthday present two years ago
