studio mess shot with instagram

By Anonymous -





I have quite a lot going on at the moment. My poor husband is at home convalescing after jaw surgery and I have the blender out making endless pots of soup. Near the end of this week a production company have booked my home for a two day shoot, (need to seriously clean house and find somewhere to put convalescing husband) on the weekend I have a photographer coming to do a shoot of me in my creative space for a very exciting up coming project, it also happens to be my oldest daughter's 9th birthday and we are in the throws of organizing a dinner party for fifteen of her friends next weekend (when my husband can put his chef's hat back on) I end the week on Sunday at Mathilda's Market in Malvern town Hall. Amongst all of that I am busy organizing a renovation for our new home and getting on with all the admin that goes with a house move - including moving my kids into a new school....phew! I had to pour myself a gin and tonic this evening just to get through writing lists. These pictures are of the mess in my studio which I have to sort out before the week is up so that I am ready for the photographer - or I could be more real about it all and say this is how my creative space always looks! I am also in love with instagram, an amazing iphone app (convalescing husband has iphone) for making any photograph look brilliant! Even something as simple as the dappled light on the wall in my studio. Ok I better get back to the pea and ham soup on the stove!

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
