And for the daily photos click here. Daily Photo Theme

Separate sites

Just a little update on my make something 365 project.

I'll be creating two new separate blogs for the Santa project and the photography project so that I will not be getting them all confused with each other.

It's mostly because the photography project will have loads of images on a single day and it can then get kinda messy as I might use similar images if the themes match.

I'm just going to keep the Star of David project in my original blog as it is a craft blog and already fine for that idea.

Check back later for the new web addresses that I'll post here.

Do Something Everyday

I have decided that I would like to try to make or do something everyday for the next year.

It is an idea that has been around for quite a while and I thought I should give it a go as it can be a great way to help you learn how to organise your life as you need to organise this for a year.  It will also get me posting each day which is a massive move for me as I don't usually post that much, but always want to and I may even have a few extras to post as well so keep an eye out each day.

There are so many different ideas though and it is so hard to choose as I want to do something a little different.  I love the idea of the Stormtroopers365.com as it is just so funny and perfect for a quick photo on the go.  I also love to craft so I would really like to make something everyday too.  And then there is just trying to take as many photos in one day of one particular subject.

So I decided to do three different things a day.

I am going to choose a subject each day and try to get as many photos of that particular subject.  This is a really good one as I can take loads of photos throughout the entire day and I don't have to make or set up anything for it.

Next I'm going to make a Star of David a day.  I love the Star of David as I love the Jews and Israel so I wouldn't want to be making anything else.

Finally, I was wondering what on earth Santa does for the rest of the year, after he has delivered all the presents on Christmas Eve.  Now since Santa likes his secrecy so that none of the big toy companies can steal his ideas, ;-D, I thought that I could imagine what he would do during the year, so I am going to explore this and take a photo of it each day.

Now because I am doing Santa after Christmas Eve I will start this project on Christmas Day and then the photo subject a day I will start on the 1st January and then I will start the Star of David a day on 8th February as this is the New Year for Trees which is celebrated is Israel  on 15th day of Shevat and is called Tu B'Shevat so as this is the beginning of a year this will also be the beginning of a year of Star of Davids.

New Job, New Shop

I have a new shop on etsy.com and I have to admit I love it.  My mum and my great uncle are contributing to it as well so I not only have crochet and craft items, but also knit items, jewellery, digital work and irish blackthorn walking sticks.

It is really good and it gets our items out into the public view.

I have to admit though I just started a new job a few months ago and keeping up with it all is kinda hard, but I have am on top of things at the moment.

You may previously remember me mentioning that I used to work for Creative Ideas, but I have since changed to office work and now am residing in a brilliant little ice cream shop closer to home.  It's called Dolce & Gelato and the owner has a couple of other businesses as well.  It's a great place and the girls and guy (better not forget Jack) or really friendly.  I have only been working there for a couple of weeks, but already I feel like it's been a few years.  There are still a few things I have to get my head around though as this is the first time I have worked in an office, but as I have done most of the work for my own life and also have studied ICT it I can quickly get the hang of it.

They also sell hot food and sandwiches to take away or sit in and there is a lovely courtyard out the back where you can sit under a large umbrella and have of little fun with friends and family.

I'll get an etsy mini on the side of the screen sometime soon so keep an eye out for that and then you can also have a look at the items I have for sale.  In the meantime here is a link to my shop homepage.
