Last (wo)man standing.......

I dont wanna play no more!!

We seem to have a special game 'round here on long weekends. I like to call it last (wo)man standing.  I win it a lot. 

Its starts either really early in the morning or last thing at night. This time round it started at 6 on Thursday morning. It starts with that special cough. 

That one that can bolt a mother upright in bed, no matter how sound asleep she was. The one where you listen for the inevitable. You all know whats coming Im sure. 

Vomit, multiple vomits. 

Fun. Lots o' fun.

And then it becomes a competition to see how many can get taken down at once. Especially when you only have one bucket. 

Im winning so far this long weekend.  My prize???? I get to clean up all the near misses. Ewwwwww.

So ill keep this short and simple. 

Boot Camp Day 4

Heavy Metal. 

Im married to a rock god,  But he is a rock god that does not like to have his photo taken. Especially when his wife suggests we go to this really cool looking fence down the road.  Why not the garage, he cries???

Hello evil fluro tube lighting and evil mismatched carpet walls. Yeah, umm Nice.

So here is the Rock Gods fav picture of his guitar and his sexy leather jacket.

Day 5

Grow

I struggled with this one a bit, until that is I went to get the washing off the line ( God, I hate any chores that involve washing clothes, esp. the folding and putting away), so while procrastinating ( throwing ball around for Dog) I noticed the weeds growing through this rusted drum that has been sitting there waiting patiently to become my herb garden. Perfect. Thank you weeds!!

Day 6

Fluid

I had been wanting to try one of these shots for ages. So when Daph wanted to steal Kook for a photo shoot at Nurragingy Reserve to test out her little Red wagon, I jumped at the chance knowing that the waterfall there would fit the bill perfectly. And it did, except I forgot to add time for the power of a cranky tantrum throwing clinging to mum superpower of a 1 and a half year old. So just as I worked it out, I had to quit. My poor boy ( it wasn't long till he joined in the afore mentioned game, oh I could have used that for fluid — ewww chunky fluid). So anyway fluid

 

Ps Ive so had enough of the game right now!!!

PPs The masters double is kicking my arse!! I hate doubles!!

PPPs still a couple of days left to enter my mystery giveaway.

PPPPs Im hoping to get my arse into gear and photograph and post, the letters Ive done in my art journal of late, tomorrow, so kick my butt if I dont!!!!!!

Captains log

Boot Camp, Day Three

The prompt  - Multi layered, The photographer - slightly loopy. The time - 5 mins of peace after running ridiculously late to drop the big 'uns off to school.

To be honest the first thing I thought of was Shrek.  

So I put it in my maybe list. Onions that is, Ogres are a bit hard to find ( not that time of the month yet).  Then I thought and decided a self portrait. Im multi layered, most layers are slightly leaning to the, well, lets say eccentric side, but I have layers.

A Sarah Lou is like an onion.........

Sorry anyway.....

Miss Beth and I decided to hit the markets in search of Martha Stewart punches, and I knew there would be not enough time to pull back the couch ( to get to the good light) and fart arse around with the self timer, but wanted to play anyway, so looked around and spotted my art book, and a few other bits ( knitting needle, scisor, ribbon and my fav writting pen). What the beep, a quick still life. Snapped a few shots until my chariot arrived. 

After the markets turned into Lunch and turned into Fred the Needle ( thank you for the kids corner!!!!) and turned into racing to the school to get poor long suffering childrens. 

When poor long suffering childrens and I got out of the blistering freakin cold wind(!!!!!!!!) in to my nice snug, gas heated house.  I looked in my room and thought. 

Circular Saw.

Yep no lie. Thats what I thought. So thats what I did. Of course I didn't do it till, I had rung Rod and asked him where it was and if it needed charging. Oh and I had promised not to do anything till he got home.  

I didn't wait

Remember the no patience thing.......

We have a tiny master, well not tiny but with badly placed built ins and windows, and I have our big old front door for my desk. Well, it aint quiet as big now, but now its in front of the window which is where I wanted it all along. And since I was power tooling and rearranging why  not do a major clean out???? 

Currently, its in the "has to get worse before it can get better" stage, but poor rock god husband needed to go to bed. 

So anyway ( 6 and a half years later, Ill get to the bloomin point) cause I felt the need for power I didn't get to do my self portrait, So for your viewing pleasure, a still lifeish picture of multi layered.

Stuff I can do. Or Darn tooting im talented!

Ps Mum, is the Darn tooting better then the Dudes??

And Ivory was her name.

Boot camp : Day One 

The journaling - a letter to ourselves, the prompt - Ivory.  The Brain - stretched. The fingers —trigger happy!

Ok so these are my 2 fav ivory photos. Far from my original idea, I wanted the smooth creaminess of the Kooks cheek with a hint of eyelashes. So I patiently waited till he was napping, had purposefully let him fall near the lounge window and quietly yelled Yippee and got my camera.

Dudes - issue, red, angry, bumpy, teething cheek rash.

 Far from his beautiful creamy ivory skin, but it's ok I had a back up ( The beauty of being in Australia doing a US based class, we live in the future over here. I read and journaled last night, and got to ponder into the weeeeeeeee hours of the night, and it still was Sunday over there when I woke up this morning!)

Think Ivory, think wedding. So I got out my dress and wedding pic, hmmm needed a lil somethin' somethin'. So I got out my pearls, and then I got some of my crystal and went from there.

PS these are almost just Sooc - I transfered the jpegs to see which raws I wanted to upload, but then my battery died and well you know I have NO patience, so just the basics jack. 

PPS Im off to do my day 2 journaling, you are all boot camping as well right?????

PPPS - ill leave the teeny giveaway open till next week, dont forget to enter - no requirements except a comment needed!

PPPPS Does it mean I am old if I have pearls and crystal????????????????????????????
