Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt

Why haven't I done one of these before? I often wonder what to take photos of, without going somewhere I usually struggle to find inspiration for interesting subjects - so a range of interesting ideas suggested by someone else is ideal. Photo scavenger hunts are the way forward!

For this month, the hunt was hosted by The Gift Shed which I thoroughly recommend for lots of interesting, mostly paper-based crafty stuff.  

Here are my photos for December.

Inspiration:

 Something I Made:

I went on a cooking binge yesterday, it was lovely to have a cooking day. I made lots of things but was particularly pleased with my loaf of bread!






Motif - Geometric:

Colour:

Although my pinwheel was pretty colourful, I think one of the most colourful things about me is usually my socks!




Festive:

We don't have masses of Christmas decorations, but this is my favourite from our tree:
