What's that? It's St Patrick's Day? Have a good time, everybody. I will be staying at home. Possibly drinking but probably not. #StPatricksDay #stpaddysday #stpaddys #maureenohara #thequietman #emeraldisle #itreallyisverygreen #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice https://www.instagram.com/sophievoice/p/BvGoyW2gZ2q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bhgrc11gisk0

Happy birthday to the Queen of Sparkliness. She's 73 today and still fabulous. The woman who wrote the lyric 'life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh' is a constant ray of sunshine. Dolly Parton, I love you and your folksy homilies. #dollyparton #sparkle #loveislikeabutterfly #folksyhomily #sophiesvoice #sophiesvoiceblog https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs1L2q5g2xj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=en282guk1zfv

Day 19 of the March Instagram challenge - 'orange' Blood oranges. Delicious. Caitlyn Van Horn's work with colour is so achingly beautiful that she makes the simplest things look like jewels. #fmsphotoaday #fmspad #fmsmarch #fms_orange #orange #oranges #bloodorange #bloodoranges #juicing #CaitlynVanHorn #foodphotography #foodphotographer #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice

Day 7 of the March Instagram challenge - 'on' Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy by David Hockney., 1970-1. I love many things about this painting but Percy centre stage - perched on the knee of Ossie Clark - is a particular favourite of mine. Although the cat featured is actually Blanche. Hockney thought that Percy was a better name. This painting also reminds me of my parents. My mother wore Celia Birtwell's designs and we had those chairs as I was growing up. It's a comforting image for me because the subjects are so easy to recognise. #fmsphotoaday #fmspad #fms_on #on #davidhockney #mrandmrsclarkandpercy #celiabirtwell #ossieclark #textileart #catsinart #Percy #textileartist #cat #seventiesstyle #maxidress #floralprints #maxidress #ossieclarkforradley #alicepollock #hedonism #divorce #sophiesvoiceblog #sophiesvoice

Day 3 of the February Instagram challenge - 'happy' This picture of a Norwegian Forest cat makes me happy. It's basically a fox / cat hybrid - which is my unicorn. #fmspad #fmsphotoaday #fmsfebruary #fms_happy #happy #norwegianforestcat #forestcat #norwegiancat #gingercat #foxcat #fox #sophiesvoice #sophiesvoiceblog

Day 31 of the March Instagram challenge - 'numbers' Teaching clock and abacus used by my children. Note that the numbers 1 and 2 are missing (of course - it's an expensive wooden toy), although 1 has been replaced with a small dinosaur. Makes sense... #fmsphotoaday #fmspad #fmsmarch #fms_numbers #numbers #clock #teachingclock #learningtotelltime #tellingthetime #practicalmath #mathisfun #girlsinSTEM #rethinkmath #buildingblocks #shapes #countinggames #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice #sophiesvoicehouse

Day 30 of the March Instagram challenge - 'starts with p' Princess Juliela (born Julia Fodor, 1960) is a legendary English DJ and music writer. Also a style icon to me. She's all glamour! #fmsphotoaday #fmspad #fmsmarch #fms_startswithp #startswithp #princessjulia #juliafodor #styleicon #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice

Day 29 of the March Instagram challenge - 'floating' Dead Sea, Israel. The excessive salination that means that the Dead Sea's water allows floatation is clearly evident from salt crystallisation on the smooth stones that surround the water. #fmspad #fmsphotoaday #fmsmarch #fms_floating #floating #deadsea #deadseasalt #seasalt #israel #salination #crystallisation #minerals #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice

Day 28 of the March Instagram challenge - 'sharp' Under the creative direction of my 3 year old daughter, I was asked to take a photo of flowers growing by the pathway - but to catch the dying undergrowth as well. That turned out sharp. #fmsphotoaday #fmspad #fmsmarch #fms_sharp #sharp #instarkfocus #sharpfocus #contrast #undergrowth #urbangarden #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice
