I love when he messages me and tells me to look at the sky! I get to witness a pretty pink sunset!
Have a beautiful Friday everyone!

My Cheeky girl and her lollipop
"Sofia do you want to sneak away with mummy and eat a lollipop!"
Her eye's lit up
I don't think she could believe what she was hearing
My cheeky girl who asks at least 100 times a day for a treat
To which the answer is always "no"
Was mummy teasing?
No not this time - mummy is doing a photography course and needed a willing subject!
So here we are - week 2 of my online photography course with Sheye
So much to learn - so much to absorb - so much trickier with a person than with food!
This week we have been playing with editing in photoshop so here are my shots from week 2 with some vintage editing.
That lollipop did the trick!
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
The posts you never have time to write
Yikes*, I've let my stash of scheduled posts dwindle away and I have no back-ups left. I generally write in blocks and churn out a few posts at a time to schedule for the week. Then I write once or twice on the actual day and hooray, a blog is born.
Now I'm down to struggling to find the time to write a meaningful post. So, instead, I'll go back to where my blog all began and show you this pretty picture and wish you a happy day and tell you that I am loving the beautiful sunshine that is streaming across my hands as I write. Geezus look at that, I need some hand cream, stat. When did my hands get to be so old?
Ah, a post for another day.
Do you sometimes struggle to make the time to write?
Are you happy to let your blog linger?
Is there a point where, like me, you think, just write something and hit Publish!
* I've realised that I write this word rather regularly on my blog (a quick search has shown me that it is alarming how often). I don't think I have ever uttered 'Yikes' in my entire life. There is something in that... yet another post for yet another day, perhaps?

Studio Lighting
I've decided, folks. As much as I would love to claim the whole gigantic (well, gigantic compared to the kitchen table) space downstairs as Bubby Makes Three headquarters... I can't do it. We simply need an extra space for the kids. And an option for when people come to stay. Which admittedly isn't often, but often enough to make pulling sheets onto the lounge annoying.
And so. My space downstairs is in fact going to be two rooms, connected by a sliding door and with the addition of a little 'powder' room as well.
A little studio! To call my very own! So excited.
But as usual, I am drilling down on all the finer details (like what sort of pencil tin to sit prettily on my new desk, and what artwork to hang on the wall) before I contemplate the boring stuff like measurements and where the hell the plumbing connects to and so on. I found myself on Etsy last night, researching prints. I want one that says "love what you do, do what you love" Its kinda my mantra and motto.
And then yesterday I picked up my new lights.
No, I haven't booked an electrician.
No, I don't even have the space divided yet into two rooms.
But I have my lights, folks and the rest will work itself around it!
My studio light? I purchased this one:

| bought here |
It's a fancy office light granted, but what the hey. I want a light, bright, white studio space with pops of yellow, green and turquoise and I thought this light would work a treat! And I plan to team it with a desk lamp that I am repurposing from an existing Ikea lamp I own -- but I'll save that for another blog post!!
And the playroom/ spare room light I chose is this one (the one on the far left):
It is a bit more sophisticated and soft and will match the chocolate carpet I'm putting down on the floor. Chocolate + kids = smart.choice.
And so, its officially begun, folks! Studio bm3 -- here I come!!!!
Have a lovely weekend, do tell me what you'll be getting up to, its gonna be sunny! x
