Daughter of my best friends Toshiyo and Roger Brown. I was so honoured to help see this little one into the world and I have every intention of spoiling her rotten!
I tell you, she was in no hurry. Poor Toshi was in labour for 25 hours after her waters broke. Finally a C section was needed. Of course Roger , Graham and I wet the baby's head at the pub afterwards!
Phew! Finally got some dollies up on teh Flickr and did some catching up dolly-wise. Tomorrow I'l get tucked in to everyone else's Flickr and see what I've been missing.
I think that Sunday drive really blew off some cobwebs, I hope they don't grow back!
This is where I'll be photographing my friend's wedding on the 20th. I'm looking forward to it for the experience...but I'm apprehensive as well.
I took a few quick tester shots while we were all visiting the site together, and later I edited a few and sent them to my friend. I didn't get any thanks just criticism for the colours being to intense... which I had already indicated in the accompanying email, so why bash me on the head with it again? *sigh* I think they're going to be very hard to please.
"Hello" from me and Bungee!, originally uploaded by A Hobbit.
Yep, we're still here, just been a bit "bleh" lately...
What a horribly frustrating weekend it was. I've been trying to get these photos up for 4 days to no avail.
I'm so tired now I don't even feel like ranting about my pain-in-the-arse ISP anymore. 10 days of poor/nearly non-existant service. I don't want to think about the fact that they're charging me for all those calls..to them... so they can fix my connection!!! It's a fecking scam!!!!Grrrrr >.<
Only today did I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
...I suppose I do have some rant left.
Cuppa tea...pet a kitteh...look at pretty dolly photos...relaaaax...
What a drag, the last bit of decent sun we had was the day Teague arrived and I think that was for all of 20 minutes! Tried doing both indoor and outdoor shots yesterday but even with the magic of Picnik they were, not to put to fine a point on it. Crap. Silk purses and sows ears spring to mind...Was going to do gardeny-easter-eggy photos today but its grey and wet. Can't be arsed now.
So, I've dedicated what was going to be photo time to dressing and packing dollies time! Yay for long overdue mini-meet! And, on the more optomistic front weatherwise, it ought to be a tad more sunny tomorrow. Hoorah.
I'm at a loss as to how to express myself without crazy dancing smilies!!
Mohair beanie, suede trousers and bag by Mum/Cheryl, top by Moshimoshi.
I got a little box in the post this week from Mum FULL of clothes, including several pieces made from this marvellous suede! Yum. You should see the quality of this stuff close up, seriously. It's hard to believe she's only been sewing and knitting for Blythe for 4 months! I guess having a perfectionist for a mother is a good thing sometimes. :-)
impressedI don't think they'll ever get this sorted out.
He's a love, you should see him go all goofy when Graham gets home!
I loffs heem sew moiche!!!
"Emergency Cheesecake"
Ever need a piece of cheesecake but just don't have any to hand? Here's my reasonable facsimilie.
1. Buttered crumpet
2. I triangle of "Vache qui rit" (Laughing Cow) cheese. (Philly is a fine substitute of course, I just prefer the creaminess of Vache)
3. Your favourite topping. Mine is "Bonne Maman" strawberry conserve.
4. Nom
Animated version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself"
My Aubrena arrived today. I thought something was odd when I saw the box was the size of something I expect rement to arrive in. I bought her new/nude but I wasn't expecting her to be bent double in a small box very loosely wrapped in bubble wrap. There she was knocking around in this box with her head barely covered!
I mean...f*cking hell! No Blythe box even. I'm pissed off.

ecstaticButter Tarts and Melting Moments in the tin...I didn't get to make everything I wanted in time for Christmas so I'm going to call the rest "New Years" baking... :-)
What are your favourite Holiday Noms?
HLJ messed up my order a bit. They charged me for and sent me 3 instead of 1. I guess the boxes from the factory have 3 sets per box and they didn't realise until it was too late...oh well. Better than not getting one at all! I can't wait til it arrives!!!
They said I could send 2 back and they'll also give me a discount on my next order. Fair enough.
But then again...maybe I'll just keep them all? Hmm...
