looking back on five years of photos

Our camera is not working at the moment, and I've been feeling a little like I can't blog without it.
I realised that so much of what I write about it is because of something I've seen, or want to capture, or when I can't find the right words, I'll use a picture.

Today is the 5th birthday of my blog, and I was going to take some celebration photographs, but instead I found myself pouring over the photo archives.

driftwood

which told me a huge amount about my blogging over the years,

roses

there are a lot of pictures of roses, of quilts and of cake

footprints in the sand
 
of exploring

tissue lantern

and celebrating

socks

and crafting that I've been inspired to make.

friends

but none of it would be there if it weren't for all of you.

thank you.

    Sending you bloggy thoughts of cake and craft and loveliness.
