my photo booth

here is a photo of my Photo Booth :P

why do i have one??? 

cause where we live is very windy and it just whips around all year long & it used to drive me NUTS...you just cant take good photos of a garment that is twirling around in the wind.....well not with my el cheapo cameras anyway.............for awhile i tried to look at them as interesting action shots - but really they were just VERY BLURRY!!! 

So after tooooo much swearing & frustration tears i said to my dearest Frank that i simply could NOT cope with going back to sbb if i have to continue to take my photos out in the wind!! {oh the Drama Queen came out when i said that lol}

So beautiful Frank did what any loving handy man husband would do and went and built me a little protected booth.......& as he was in cahoots with Lil he managed to surprise me with it because she took me out for the day :D 

Dont you just LOVE THAT!!! xox

Well i must say i LOVE my little Booth and only on the windy WINDY days do i have to bring out the frustrated swearing :P...........but i do the swearing very quietly so gorgy hubby can't hear me :}

ALSO it is built on the side of my little studio so it is nice and handy now to just nip out and take some pretty pics {which is on my Bucket List to do for 2011......take MORE pretty stylised piccies}

outside my little studio

well thanks to my gorgeous hubby i now have some sun protection on my dear little studio :)

how cute is my little veranda looking?
it is still to get last part of its roof and then some decking {which is recycled and looking quite rustic and weathered so i LOVE it!!} and ofcourse i will have to do some gardening in big pots to pretty the deck up but i think it will be a most lovely spot to stop & rest during the sewing workday to have a nice pot of tea.

 i want to hang some beautiful hand crochet bunting under the veranda and across that bare sandstone wall and i simply must find some chinese paper lanterns to hang {how cute will that be}

BUT check out the darn mess everywhere around it.....we grow good DIRT up here {poor lawn died 2 yrs ago with the drought as we couldnt water it}
we are doing all this on tight budget but the good thing about having a farm is that you ALWAYS have useful stuff laying around...the bad thing about a farm is that you ALWAYS have stuff laying around!!!


So pleased it is finally all coming together as we started down this path at beg of 2010 {yeah well that went belly up didnt it!!} BUT a new year calls for a fresh start, so i am happy to be finally getting this project well and truly underway.

The inside will be a surprise & i will wait til it is all completed before i share any pics of it but it is coming along slowly and looking abit 70's funky i must say LOL

i wont want to leave this sweet little studio of mine when we shift...but least i will get something bigger when we do :P
