Peisey and dreaming of snowboarding part 1

I was kind of hoping that spring would of sprung by the time I got home from skiing but it doesn't seem to have done - oh well never mind, I don't feel so bad about uploading beautiful wintery France polaroid photos now! There are plenty more of these as well. I won't bore you with them all but I have some films to pick up at lunch - can't wait!!

Catching up and 114 miles

I was away on holiday last week (yay!) having fun snowboarding in France. So I wasn't able to post the latest 114 miles photos. As I am back to reality now (boo!) here they are.

To see whose is whose please visit Ian and my little blog:

I will be back later with some holiday snaps, there is a lot of scanning and developing to be done.

A little while ago I received a Kreative blog award from Pretty Little Thieves (a gorgeous blog full of fab illustrations) thankyou nancy.

You have to reveal 7 things about yourself and then pass it on to 7 other creative blogger types.

Here is my 7........

1. My boyfriend and I have a little house which we are very slowly renovating, He is good at building things (see shelves above) and I am good at painting things.

2. Not really a surprise this one but I am obsessed with photography and cameras, my dream photo shoot would be for a certain gorgeous foody magazine called WFI.

3. I don't know why as I like other types but the only trousers I own are jeans and leggings.

4. I want to live in the Alps again.

5. I like swimming but I'm not a huge fan of running.

6. I'm quite a good cook, mushroom risotto is one of my favourite things.

7. I want a dog, preferably a little whippet.

I pass on this award to:

The Bakers Daughter

Notebook Doodles

Louise Norman

Little Brown Pen

spring colours week - blue

Spring hasn't exactly sprung here so I kind of broke the rules and concentrated on blue rather than spring!

I really love this photo, I took it last year in Macedonia and has been hanging around on my desktop for ages. Thought it deserved more from life than that!

114 miles week 30

To mark reaching 30 weeks of this project we decided to have a themed week. Just in case you can't tell, the theme was self portraits!

cheesy cheesy

I know I know flowers are cheesy cheesy and totally un-cool but they make me feel kind of happy and you can't deny that they are pretty so I don't care!

Green Tuesday

Poppytalk blog is doing a spring inspired colours week. I wanted to join in so I searched my archives for Green Tuesday and this is what I found

Polaroid Emulsion Transfers

I was sorting out my portfolio and I came across these Polaroid Emulsion Transfers. I had completely forgotten about them and I remember at the time of doing them, I wasn't that pleased with how they turned out and concentrated more on Polaroid Lifts. Well I am glad I kept them and glad I found them because I love them now, they look like paintings and are so rich but delicate too. I might try out a few more soon.

114 miles week 29

Wow, its weeks 29! I really like how this project is looking. Ian is on the left and I am on the right.

What is England

I am excited to be taking part in a pretty excellent project called What is England? If you have heard of the 50 States Project you'll know a bit about this one. It is curated by the same guy - Stuart Pilkington and in it each county is represented by a different photographer who has to take photos in their own style to complete a certain number of briefs, the first being 'person' and is published today. Go to the website to see for yourself and also for a better explanation than I have just given! Sorry if all that made no sense what-so-ever! Basically head over here, its good!
