my creative space

This week I had four creative spaces aside from my usual sewing room. One was this beach location for an impromtu photoshoot. My model is Lily,  daughter of a friend who has been patiently waiting on her size to be made by me. She took both of these dresses home to be worn to death (which may come sooner if she doesnt stop riding the motorbike on her country property at breakneck speed) even though she too had sworn to not like pink very much before today. My clothes have this effect on people, including me, which im a bit proud of. 


I couldnt do anything wrong with this gorgeous old pier as a back drop.

Lily, thankyou.
You are such a natural beauty. In the few short minutes we were here I had taken thirty something photos, all of them able to be used apart from the one where you are trying to remove the pricetag from your armpit!

The other spaces I inhabited this week were a friends home to sew for the day
the shop I have just placed some things in creating another photoshoot (announcing the location officially tomorrow if I dont get too distracted),
 I showed a young up and coming sewer how to finish off her first quilt,
and the Mr and I have been doing some much anticipated art piece framing. His and mine, yay!
Definitely a full week of creativity even for the likes of me, who thinks they sew all the time but apparently not so much.

In other news we joined a gym. Together. The same one. Very, very weird development for us as we were doing our thing seperately but from now on will be working out side by side. Kick boxing here I come!

I took the couch potato shopping and had fun for the first time because I decided to.
I think I may have giggled once or twice.

Im moving the studio around tomorrow as I woke in the middle of the night a few days ago and had an epiphany about the entire space and cant wait for morning now to perform some miracles.
Except im supposed to be going to the gym, damn....

the cut

I know some of you are anticipating how our market went, but I just couldnt wait to give you a special edition behind the scenes exclusive of The Textured Leaf meets Monet Paisley photoshoot.
These are the ones that didnt make the cut for Etsy, but are interesting (to me) anyway.

Here you see Paisley posing (without any prompting from me, can I add) just before she discovered
 a massive bull ant by her feet. I think this girl can spot bugs a mile off. There were so many new insect species on this beach that it crossed my mind to capture them for Nat Geo, if only my macro was better.





Here you can see Elisha hard at it taking shots of her swimwear after a rather successful market.
We were swaying back and forth from desperately wanting to sleep off the excitement (me) and
grabbing the available great photo conditions while they lasted. Im glad she wrenched me from the couch. 



And, yes! Then we turned the cameras on each other.
All the glamour from the market tomorrow with the next tutorial instalment. Sorry for being one week late.
Time flies when.....
why dont you finish my sentence for me?
