h is where my next set of numbers come in 23 24 25 the number on our tickets when my mam sister and i went to see costume historian gillian stapleton deliver her jane austen s wardrobe presentation i took photos of these beforehand thinking correctly as it turns out that they d take our tickets off us when we arrived it s almost as if not everyone s a scrapbooker and they just don t understand the importance of keeping this kind of ephemera i really should have asked to keep it shouldn t i 1790s 1820s the time period in costume covered in the presentation picture the scene the beautiful space of the reference library think tiny portion of hogwarts library rows of wooden chairs with monograms carved into the back and with comfy cushions on the seat a room full of ladies of a certain age and an hour long presentation all about history of the kinds of costume worn by jane austen s heroines with readings from austen s novels and letters fashion history is one of my longest standing interests i remember an infant school visit to a museum where i used my spending money to buy a colour in poster of fabulous victorian edwardian outfits and as much as i loved the prose in last year s bbc hollow crown shakespeare adaptations i was just as enraptured with the leather work of the costumes and don t even get me started on the millinery in itv s miss marple but i digress in short it was a perfect afternoon for me thank you jo mam for humouring me and coming along xx chapter 49 the chapter of austen s emma i just had to go and revisit after the presentation i think it was that outfit on the left in the photo above that really gave me the urge to revisit emma and more specifically to wallow in the love declarations of mr knightley which for me are quite simply some of the most romantic words ever i cannot make speeches emma he soon resumed and in a tone of such sincere decided intelligible tenderness as was tolerably convincing if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more and yes i am swooning as i type oh and while we re on the subject of books 4 the number of books i rea d all of which are now linked up on my pinterest board the appropriately numerical eight white nights by andre aciman the manual of detection by jedediah berry if you like jasper fforde this might be for you the silver linings playbook novel by matthew quick the film makers kept pretty faithful to this original story so if you liked the movie you will probably like the novel and the messenger of athens by anne zouroudi 2 miles the approximate distance of the new route i ve been taking on my morning walks i feel like i say this on a near daily basis but i don t have a smartphone which means i don t have any apps that can measure the distance i ve walked or the number of steps i take so i ve had to gauge this distance using google maps and the silly thing for someone who counts things every month is that i haven t kept track of how many times i ve walked the route so i don t know my total and talking of walking 3 the amount i paid for these lovely frilly pink pumps in the sales shown here standing before wording on the floor of the mima gallery and yes i did relax and wonder about carl andre s work for 3 i can even overlook the fact that they kind of nip at my achilles heel a little 4 the number of craft magazine projects i worked on and half of them were brace yourself now for i m about to drop the c word wait for it they were christmas projects it s the same schedule every year and yet every year if feels so very unnatural to have to ho ho ho in june and finally 23 the number of bloggers who linked me up with their may in numbers seems like memory keeping by numbers is getting very popular with people called jo and the number of names on that list that begin with a j is giving even my local crop a run for its money where at any given time we can confusingly have in attendance a jean a jackie a janet a judith two julies a juli a and one of the aforementioned jo s ok so that s my facts and figures for june and now whether or not your name begins with j here s how you can join in with us if you ve never joined in before there s a lot more information on the month in numbers page including a how to guide to inspire you you don t need to follow any guidelines other than those i m about to set out below everything else i ll leave up to

hi again if you want to play along with the summertime photography scavenger hunt then make sure to visit rinda over at gallo organico for all the details so i ve got another item to cross off my list but i m pretty sure you re going to accuse me of cheating and yet here it is anyway i m a rebel like that item no 16 a windmill this is the label inside my gorgeously soft black leather bag the kind of bag of simplistic perfection i d been seeking for a long time and while it may not immediately seem connected to summertime life i promise you it is during the summer i work from home and my days are as flexible as my deadlines and self discipline will allow and on some of those days although far fewer than you might imagine i take myself out on a little shopping trip the kind that doesn t involve bread milk and toilet roll and so after doing a spot of invoicing over breakfast i decided i d worked hard enough over the previous week that a new dress might just be in order so out i went which is what i was doing when i realised that i actually didn t need to go hunting out that windmill and that i had one with me all along i know it s like the ruby slippers of the bag world i was in my car leaning over into the passenger seat rummaging in my bag to check i d put my phone in there when i spotted it note how i d packed the essentials of a british summer in there with my flowery rain mac nestling against my sunglasses and on the outside of the bag another windmill for good measure so that s my case for adding this windmill logo to my list of summertime treasures found i know it s not a real one but then neither were the giants that don quixote thought he d found when he spotted windmills in the distance needless to say if i find a real one a real windmill that is not a real giant i ll snap that too julie p s if you re a month in numbers blogger doer sharer hey we need to work on a better title for us all than that one then just a reminder that we re getting to that time my numbers will be here on sunday but you re welcome to join me anytime afterwards and if you fancy joining in but haven t been counting anything all month don t let that stop you just flip through the photos you ve taken or your diary blog twitter feed facebook timeline instagram anywhere you keep a record of your days and just pick out some facts and figures from there sorted posted by

june 2013 summertime photography scavenger hunt 2013 the mima edition hello hello when i first began typing out this post my hair was still drying out from the rain i got caught in on a very short walk sprint out of the downpour and for the record no that shower proof mac i mentioned last week really isn t deluge proof i refer you to one very damp shirt as evidence but all this rain can mean only one thing that it s summer in england and so let s get on with crossing some more photos off that summertime photography scavenger hunt list if you want to play along with the summertime photography scavenger hunt then make sure to visit rinda over at gallo organico for all the details all of today s items were captured last week when my mam my sister and i went into middlesbrough to attend the jane austen s wardrobe presentation given by costume historian gillian stapleton but before the event we had lunch in and a browse around mima our local modern art gallery and the town square surrounding it which is where i found item no 3 city hall capitol or other similar civic building this is the first of two items i snapped that same afternoon that not only fulfil the brief set by rinda they rather helpfully have their category written on them to prove it so as the sign above the door here suggests here s the civic centre now if only rinda s list had asked for a cyclist doing a wheelie too i d have been ecstatic to have another one to cross off my list at the same time did you spot him item no 9 a photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn t belong this is the mima gallery garden with the 100 year old central library backing on to it so far so what you d anticipate seeing in a town centre but what are those things in the floor there why those are two giant boeing aircraft engines from decommissioned military surveillance planes which have subsequently had anti depressants tucked away inside them by artist roger hiorns in a piece called untitled alliance but you knew that really didn t you you were just teasing item no 10 a bench that is outside don t believe me that this is indeed a bench think that my mother s just been clambering on a modern art installation well think again and read the small print at the bottom of the photo and here it is from the side item no 13 a fence this metal fence that reminds me of church organ pipe surrounds the mima garden and finally for our little trip around mima item no 18 your local pub bar coffee house or tea shop ok so this isn t my local café per se it s a 15 minute drive away but then i ve never been into the pub that s nearest to my house and alas we don t have any cafés or coffee shops nearby either not unless you count those few tables in the fish chip shop and i don t i m afraid café culture hasn t really hit close to our estate just yet and so the mima café which we visit fairly often will have to do but if i visit one closer to home before the end of the hunt i ll share that one too in case you re ever in the area and get the urge for some modern art and a nice cuppa here s the mima website right i ll go and cross these 5 off the list and i ll see you

central square email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 26 june 2013 an art journal page from start to finish no 3 pain has a thousand faces hello hello it s been over a year since i shared one of these photo step by steps there must be a big secret cupboard somewhere where all the time goes because i don t know where it went and so as i ve had a little breathing space this week i felt it was about time i share another my earlier step by steps can be found here an art journal page from start to finish no 1 these new lands and an art journal page from start to finish no 2 too precious to waste and they re some of the most popular most visited and most commented upon posts i ve created so i really hope this new one find the right people once again

has a thousand faces it s always a leap of faith when i decide i m going to take step by step photos of a process as i ve absolutely no plan and no idea as to how the finished thing will turn out my biggest fear is always that after putting in so much time into stopping and starting to take the photos as i build the page that the end result won t be worth it and if i m honest there were a few stages of this page s development where i really just wanted to close the book and forget all about it but i persevered and am fairly happy with it now happy enough to make a full tutorial from it anyway and if nothing else it affords me the opportunity to share my own creative insecurities with you so h...
