Ho hum…nothing of a stitching or drawing theme for you at the moment, but this is fun. I saw an interesting post on Diane’s always interesting and beautifully written blog, featuring this game. And I saw Debi had picked it up too, and as I admire the work of both these ladies, thought I would have a go. I’m fond of picture collages, and like this one too.
The “game” involves thinking (not too deeply) about the answers to 12 questions and searching Flickr for an image to accompany the answer. The “rules” are shown below. These are the links to the pictures I chose.
1. ‘S’ Curve, Judith River, Montana, 2. Pasta Flower, 3. School Photo, 4. When I’m sleeping, I slow down my breathing…Living in dreams, dreams that come true…thinking of the color blue… ZZZzzzzzz…, 5. Pirates of the Greenock Waterfront, 6. hasselblad summer rain, 7. Farewell India, 8. candy pop land, 9. Sunshine, 10. Fuji-san Sunrise, 11. Artisan lock, 12. My March Take it Further piece

And why is there no stitching? I have spent nearly every available moment out of doors growing things or enjoying things already grown, whilst we have a few days of lovely summer. It may be all there is this year so i can’t bear to let a moment go by without being out in the fresh air. This morning the garden looked like this, just before the sun broke through the early cloud cover. The roses are at their very best and It really feels like a tiny piece of Eden. (click to enlarge as usual)
So pleased to see you “played the game”! I really like your response to #9. Lovely selection of photos for your responses.

Hi Judith, I’m with you on being outdoors. Summer is late in coming, but none the less.. I am out where the air is fresh, & the grass, green! I’m sure you’re getting lots of good inspiration.
lovely garden – i can see why little sticthing is getting done. we are having scads of unseasonal rain (we have dry winters usually) so now garden over-run with weeds – I’ll be gardening summer and winter and get nothing done stitching wise.
Johnny Depp! You’re so stereotypical
Oh, Eden it is, to be sure! I love seeing your garden.
We have been promised an entire long week-end of sunshine, so I hope to provide a garden tour, too….
Hi. Thanks for stopping by again. If I get the job, and it’s a big if, I will keep blogging as it’s only part time. I couldn’t give up blogging now, I am having so much fun!
Wow! Your mosaic looks…”just like you!” Your choices are exquite and I love your narrative about the game and you. Well done, dear! Well done!
