Friendship and helping out
Lately life has been a lot about work, a lot about family (as always) and also a lot about friendship... more specifically my friendship with my cousin Bec. We've been friends since she was born, pretty much, so that's not unusual. She's been having a hard time for a few months now, part of which involved being suddenly left without income or support...
While Bec has a casual job now, and has had some interviews for others, with all security pulled out from beneath her, every little bit counts. So I've taken on the job of helping her sell things to raise money - so far, dvds and video games. Check out the list on ebay here and perhaps see if there's anything you'd like, I'd appreciate it so much and you'd also be helping Bec out. I'll be adding some gorgeous clothes, a pair of boots and a handbag within the week :)

The Joy family
This morning I photographed these three sweeties at the Alfred Nicholas Gardens, in the beautiful Autumn leaves and by the lake there. Unfortunately the islands and ponds were closed for work, but there was still an assortment of beautiful locations around the garden, and lots of fun with props...
The way that I work

Or maybe I should say, the work that I do... Actually, the way that I work at the moment - website administration, graphic design, editing, etc - is on the couch with my laptop on my rug-covered knee. That isn't normally the case, when I am using my graphics tablet I need more stable space, and I move to the desk when I need to be really productive and the kids are up... I work in the afternoon (Cedar is usually asleep) if I can, and after the kids are in bed. Today I finished adding photos of Outback Pride herbs (Tanami Fire, above) to the food service section of their website ...
Last week I designed this logo for my gorgeous sister Kelly, of Polkadot Lane, and our friend (also gorgeous!) Kate of Sew Chirpy, for a collaboration they are planning. Love this colour combo!
I managed to pick up a whole pile of canvases in a sale, and they are now piled up by the dvd cupboard in the foyer. I should find a better spot! I will, I promise. In the meantime, they remind me to schedule in "mixed media" time in the next couple of weeks...
And here (below) are some final favourites from last month's family session in the Alfred Nicholas Gardens, I have another session there tomorrow morning. Autumn leaves and children, what fun!
This last shot is so my new favourite.
