Happy New Year

Here I am again - been a while! I've been busy Yule-ing and Christmas-ing, busy building a puppet theatre for the kidlets, busy playing, busy being on vacation... and now back to work and the regular day-in.

The Puppet Theatre!

Crappy pictures to the sides (taken with a phone) - better pics to follow eventually!

Hubby figures it will be a puppet theatre for about a month, and a fort forever after... meh - s'all good!

In other news:

Courtesy of my friend D at :: this blessed life ::, I'm embarking on a self│52 photo project. You can check out my Flickr stream here. The goal of the project is, in D's words:

As I undergo a year of existential change and growth, reflecting on identity and the notion of self will be an ongoing practice. With that in mind, I'm embarking on my own photo project: self|52. Every week during 2012 I will post a self-portrait I've taken. My aim is to challenge myself both as a burgeoning photographer and philosopher. How will I use this medium to reflect my identity? What is the state of my concept of self and how can I depict that?

 

Want to join? I've created a Flickr group here and I also encourage you to comment and link to your self-portraits, wherever you may be posting them. I'd love to see your reflections on yourself.

 

I've started mine with my favourite self-portrait, taken a few months ago. Next week's will be current, as will all pics thereafter.

 

 

Continuing projects...

 

I had an initial meeting with a Spiritual Director in late November, and will be meeting with her again some time this month. The ever-moving target of my personal spirituality continues to shift and elude me, and my pendulum-swinging between Paganism and Christianity continues to addle my brains. . .
