So as this weekend, including my Off Friday, has been mostly wet weather I took the opportunity for some still life photography to keep me from getting too bored. Using my lightbox and various props I spent most of the morning and some of the afternoon taking photos. Including playing with some old sweet film wrappers in front of the built-in flash...
This is one such example using a piece of red film - naturally! Really like the effect and cheap as chips too although now the Quality Street brand from whence these pieces of film came have moved to recyclable wrappers so glad I saved as many colours as I could whilst they were still available. This set of old bracelet beads were shot on an old box covered in scrunched up tinfoil which makes for a quite interesting background. All in all it whiled away time on a day where going outside was out of the question.
Saturday saw me and Julia shopping up at Bluewater, mainly for New Mum items for James's sister who is about to have twins!! So lots of useful but perhaps less exciting toiletries for her and the new bubbas when they arrive next week (via a C-Section) and some time saving bits for her like dry shampoo and hairclips because new mums don't have time to fuss about washing their hair! Julia and James are excited to become Auntie & Uncle - especially Julia as she has no siblings and sees James's brothers and sister as her own.
Sunday has been brighter weather for once, been outside briefly in the garden but still too early to do much beyond a little tidying up and trying to hopefully kill off a couple of old fuchsias that I'm looking to replace with alternative plants because they are rife with that fuchsia gall mite. Hoping that if I can kill them off then digging them out will be less of a challenge. Fingers crossed ;-)
