TWiP: The Last Week of the Year ⋆ Polka Dot Cottage

It’s been a merry vacation 🙂

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the microblogging I’ve done on Instagram all week. This includes photos I shot for Project 365 (for the rest of 2018 I’ll be following Tracey Clark’s “Picture the Holidays” prompts: #mypictureholidays2018) and any other extra images I may have posted.

Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S7).

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

Day 27: Sincerely Yours. I'm a day late for this prompt, because I was waiting until I hung all of the cards up on string. But now I've decided not to do that. So here they are in a messy pile instead 😁 #picturetheholidays

I finished #knitting my #pdcfiresidecardigan 😃. I even had time to make some matching #polymerclay buttons. Yay! Pattern coming soon(er or later)! P.S. I also finished the much roomier #pdcfiresidepullover. Scroll to see both versions 😊

Day 30: Something Divine. Those few minutes in the morning when you turn on the tree and enjoy its light before the kids get up and the festivities begin. Merry Christmas! #picturetheholidays

How nice it is to just hang out in a Starbucks on a Thursday morning, sipping blonde roast, listening to Neil Diamond, and reading a @yarnharlot essay. I'm so glad I took these days off 😊

Day 33: Monochrome Magic. I don't like stripping color from an image, especially at this time of year when colorful images seem to be the whole point! But I found this preset on my phone, and it makes me think of old Christmas movies, so that will do, I think. #picturetheholidays

The 18yo and I went for a walk in downtown Summit, because it's a really nice night, and the holiday lights are pretty.
