It’s been snowy, snowy, snowy this week. It seems like the entire country has been covered in a blanket of the white stuff. Here in our little pit village outside of Durham, it’s been seriously lame. My car was snowed in for the best part of last week. My toddler hates the sledge with a passion; I thought of blogging about our attempted mission for bread and an advent calendar, but frankly I was too traumatised. A kindly old lady had to carry my baby home through the semi-blizzard while I carried a wailing toddler – enough said. Luckily my Dad came and picked us up from the end of the street on Saturday, bringing us back home on Sunday – apart from that I haven’t been further than my street in over a week. It has hardly snowed here for two days now and I’m delighted. I’m even more delighted by the forecast for later in the week – by Thursday it might actually start to melt!
So, given that I’m now thoroughly fed up with the snow (and because I already posted some photos of it way back when I was feeling the snow love), I decided to take some different shots for the White theme for this week’s Gallery. Keeping in mind that I’m stuck in the house, my options were a bit limited! So I give you ‘textures of white’.
So, there we have it. Maybe a little boring, but I tell you what – this week, I’ve been pretty darned bored! I’m off to check out this week’s Gallery. Maybe I’ll see some things that aren’t snow, or if not, I’m sure the snow photos will be so good, I might even start to like it a little again.
Mmm it’s making me look around the house for white stuff lol. I don’t find it boring! But I need to know, what’s the 3rd shot??
It’s a little handbag-sized pot of Nivea – I managed to take a few before the toddler said “lid back on Mummy” and squashed the lid on himself.
That’s not boring at all but different and it’s good to be different! Liking the textures you have used here.
I didn’t do a snow photo either x
Very beautiful and quite warming..which is very welcome! Lovely shots!
Brilliant! White is really hard to take a photo of… I’m stuck this week! x
I agree – I fiddled with the contrast on these to increase the shadows, when things are too white it can easily start to look like a photo of nothing.
I don’t blame you for having had enough of the snow! This is a great alternative 🙂
Now why am I not surprised that you have gone for something different! Love the shawl!
Great take on this weeks prompt, I struggled to find something at first as we’ve not had snow.
Great idea. I really wanted to post a white baby/hospital blanket, well done for being brave and doing so – I really like the flower pattern. Your week sounds a little like mine 🙂
Great pictures, fantastic textures. makes me want to reach out and touch them!
Oooh I really like your pics – I wanted to do something different from snowy pics too!
Good idea. I was thinking along the same lines until i came across an old pic. Love the textures
My littlest one doesn’t like sledging either. Great take on the theme — I went with something other than snow on mine as well. =)
I feel the exact same about the snow as you do, at this stage. I have had enough and I would have put up a blank post rather than post a photo of snow!! Love the textures, a novel take on white 🙂 Jen
It’s funny, when you look around the house what you think is white turns out to be grey or cream (dirt maybe..) but you have found stuff – great idea 🙂
Very clever take on the ‘white’ theme. Love that fabric, so pretty.
Wow, so many comments today, thank you all so much! 🙂
Those liking the fabric – it’s actually a dress. I bought it for my husband’s graduation and have hardly worn it since – as it’s white I can’t wear it for weddings, plus it’s no good for breastfeeding so I haven’t worn it for years. I think maybe I’ll dye it a different colour and wear it to my friend’s wedding in the summer.
Nivea – glad someone asked that question as I hadn’t guessed and yet hand cream is one of my most important ‘Can’t Do Without’ items.
Beautiful fabric you have there.
Bring on the thaw!
