2017 Weekly Photo Challenge

2017 Weekly photo challenge (week 2) Card

~ Making Stitches ~ 7 Comments

I have to admit that on just the second week into this challenge, the word ‘card’ was proving a tricky one to interpret in a photograph. This was a tough one to think of… so here’s a shot of our Christmas cards in front of their final sunset before being taken down.

This is still my favourite Christmas card from this year’s batch. Handmade by a friend of ours, these snowdrops are felted and stitched. 

I couldn’t let the word ‘card’ go past without a few postcards…. you don’t have to go far in Gibraltar to see a shop selling postcards from Gibraltar 🇬🇮;-)

Beautifully framed I thought, complete with scaffolding and a mop bucket 😉

2017 Weekly photo challenge (week 1) Ceiling

This year, I thought I would join in with a weekly photo challenge with fellow blogger Nana Cathy. I have seen her photos each week for the past 12 months and enjoyed seeing how she interpreted the word prompt for each week.

The first word for 2017 is ‘ceiling’. There is one stand out ceiling for me in Gibraltar and that’s the beautifully painted ceiling in Sacred Heart Church. A deep midnight blue colour covered with golden stars. 

I wish I had a better photo – I have only been in for a couple of services and keep meaning to go in for a look when it’s open to the public so I can take some better shots. To my mind it is far and away the most beautiful church in Gibraltar, hidden away in Upper Town and off the beaten track.
