May Photo a Day Challenge

Throughout May I took part in a ‘photo a day’ challenge, following the list of prompts above. The best thing about the challenge is it is fun and there are no rules. I got the idea from Chantelle over at ‘Fat Mum Slim’ - She reveals a new list every month so you could play along too if you fancy.
Chantelle says: ”It makes you take a little time each day to stop and take notice of what’s around you, as well as be a little creative.”
I’ve really enjoyed playing along and seeing what others post every day via Instagram, Facebook & Twitter. Some of my friends have been joining in too.

1. I bought this: New beige jodphurs, black boots and chaps ready for horse competitions and shows.
2. Morning Ritual: I can’t leave the house without having breakfast.
3. This is really good! : Drinking wine at my first BBQ of the year.
4. In my cup: Tea from the burger van at a motocross race I went to watch.
5. Paper: My jar that I started filling with happy memories for 2013 to look back on.
6. Broken: A broken-hearted bird house.
7. Something beginning with F: Friends. Couldn’t manage without each and every one of them.
8. Shape: My new range of ‘mushroom shaped bowls’.
9. A Snack: Fruit rolls. Hadn’t had these before but was not very keen on them
10. Stars: This star hangs from my workshop along with a lantern and some wooden wind chimes.
11. Smile: I never stop smiling when I’m with my boyfriend. He’s the best!
12. Mother: Ginger giving my mum kisses

13. Sunrise/Sunset: I took this photo of the sun setting whilst driving back from a birthday party in Maidenhead.
14. Need: This photo was taken of the hunting horses down at the farm when it was baking hot last week, bringing Dizzy in from the field. Need the sunshine back!
15: 7 O’Clock: At my Dads having dinner, his cuckoo clock chimed seven.
16. Mailbox: This sits on the gate to the entrance of the farm where I share a horse. I’ve always wanted to lift up the lid to see whats inside.
17. Season: Summer is my all time fave. Can’t wait to go on holiday and catch some rays, since they seem to be lacking in this country.
18. Want: I’m moving house in a couple of months, the new bedroom is going to be red. I want this duvet set to match my lamps. In king size, naturally.
19. My Favourite View: Between horses ears.
20. Light: I felt as light as a feather when Dizzy flew me over this jump. She’s wicked!
21. I care about this: I try to go to the gym at least three times a week.

22. Change: In October I’ll be travelling to Thailand for 3 and a half weeks. I’m so excited and can’t wait to embark on this adventure which I’m sure will change my life!
23. PJs: Cosy
24. Go: Rain, rain, go away!
25. Us:
26. Fave thing to do on a Sunday: Snuggle up with a DVD and some snacks.
27. Can’t live without: There are lots of things I couldn’t live without but since I spent a couple of hours cleaning her today, thought I’d share my car as one of them. She’s had a busy day of pampering ready for a road trip next week.
28. What you’re doing now: Walking Benji in the rain before making a few vases.
29. Kiss: Dizzy loves kissing the camera!
30. Tool: This is my favourite tool that I use the most out in the workshop. I use it for everything – trimming, carving, cutting, engraving, piercing holes, and even signing the bottom of pieces.

31. Four things: Little clay houses, dandelion dish, ceramic plant markers, natural vase.
Will you play along in June?
