Emma asked me to pick this month's CPSH topics, and here are my photos...

Inspiration

The view from the bridge approaching Granary Square
and Central St Martins.

Pizza dough. Or the moon...

CPSH October: Topics

I've not done very well at participating in the Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt just recently, but Emma's asked me to host for October so hopefully I'll remember to take some pictures this month...

Anyone can join in, just leave me a comment on this post to let me know you're playing with a link to your blog, then take a picture for each topic and post them at the very end of the month. I'll then do a round up and pick my favourites.

Without further ado, this months topics are:

CPSH August

Huge apologies to Ruth at the Goldhawk Project for being so late with this - I'm not sure how it managed to slip my mind!

With no further delay...

Something I made

I've actually been doing a lot of knitting recently which would be a perfect subject for this photo, but haven't got around to taking a pictures. So it's the greenest of smoothies instead.

Inspiration

Back cover of the current Wrap magazine.

Old

More bits of steam fair.

Surprise

Taking inspiration from Ruth's picture, we were surprised to find this beastie expired in our barbecue. (Nick would probably like me to tell you that's his smallest finger for scale.)

Motif: Hearts

I think I feature this mug on here far more than it deserves, but it seemed apt again and I liked the position of the crack...

Visit Ruth to see all the other contributors this month.

CPSH July

Sally at Diario chose this month's topics, so visit her to see a round of up everyone who's taken part.

The Colour Blue

The best blue thing around at the moment - the sky! (Added topicality: this was at Box Hill on Saturday for the bike race.)

Ladybird

Not actually an actual ladybird, but the current window display in Louis Vuitton on Bond Street made me think of them.

Art Deco

Our side board which I always think is quite deco-y.

Inspiration

Pile of Mollie Makes magazines and Danny Gregory's Everyday Matters.

Something I Made

A little courgette cake. This was actually not a successful recipe, but I don't think I've made much else this month!

CPSH May

Still posting from my phone, which is still very fiddly. So this will be short and sweet!

Emma at The Gift Shed picked this month's topics, so pop and see her for a round-up.

Inspiration: Properly bike-friendly cities.



Graffiti in Seattle



Urban: Seattle again.



Something I Made: Raccoon sketches



Transport: aeroplane!

CPSH April Round-Up

We've had one more entry since I posted on Monday - Ruth at the Goldhawk Project!


And here are my favourites from this month's photos:

Inspiration

This is one of Ruth's. It's just beautiful and makes me want to go on adventures!

Something I Made

I loved Emma's doglets when she first posted them, and they're still just as cute.

Easter

Rachie's Easter breakfast appealed - at least she ate the cereal first!

Re-purpose

Rachie again, just because the thought of her 'emergency binoculars' made me laugh.

Motif: Symmetry

And finally Margot's symmetry from Indonesia felt very peaceful.

Thanks to everyone who took part. Head over to The Gift Shed to see which topics Emma's picked for May.

CPSH April

I chose the topics for this month's Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt, and here are my pictures.

Inspiration

Vintage wedding dresses.

Something I made

Easter egg chocolate cupcakes

Easter

Bunny decoration from my Easter Tree.

Re-purpose

Quilts made from fabic scraps.

Motif: Symmetry

Vintage buttons from this month's Mollie Makes magazine.

Go and visit the other participants this month, and I'll do a round-up and pick my favourites later in the week.

CPSH April: Categories

Kirst at The Leopard Anchor dreamed up the Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt last year, but as she's busy preparing for a very big adventure various other people are guest-hosting for a while and it's my turn.

Everyone and anyone's welcome to join in. You can read about it here, and if you want to take part this month just pop a comment at the end of this post or email me. It would be lovely to have some new participants this month, so please don't be shy!


Without further ado, here are this month's categories:

(I'm aware my handwriting isn't always super-legible, so they are: inspiration, something I made, Easter, re-purpose and the motif is symmetry)

CPSH: March

Emma at The Gift Shed thought up our topics for this month, and should have a round-up if you pop and see her next week.

Inspiration

The National Theatre - always inspirational.

Something I Made

Lots and lots of flowers - secret wedding plans!

Sunlight

Green Park in the sunshine.

Books

My books. I liked this one better than the in-focus version!

Motif: Retro

My beautiful engagement ring  - 1950s so definitely retro.

I'm going to be guest hosting the CPSH for April, so come back on Monday to see what I've thought up and to let me know you want to take part!

CPSH February

This month's topics were thought up by Rachel at The Awesome Lady.

Inspiration

We visited my home town, Salisbury, at the weekend. The Cathedral is a beautiful building, and one that I always find inspiring.

Something I Made

Roasted tomatoes, which I'm mostly proud of because, in making these, I actually did something in real life that I'd pinned on Pinterest!

Leap!

I forgot about this topic when I chose the Week Word for this week... Or possible was subconsciously inspired? Anyway, here's Vince about to leap. Probably onto something that wouldn't take his weight and would result in a lot of crashing.

Found

Salisbury Cathedral again. I was sitting waiting for Nick when I spotted this creature (dog? horse? wolf?) carved into the stone. I'm guessing it's pretty old, as they tend to frown up on people scratching pictures of their pets into cathedrals these days, and I like to wonder who might have done it.

Motif: Leaves

Does this sort of evergreen have leaves, or are they called something else? Anyway, I loved the contrast of the rich greenness against the blue of the sky.
