It seems the sweet morning sounds of “Mummy, it’s Sunny” have gone by the wayside and now I just get “Sheye”. Which becomes “Sheeyyyyye” quite quickly. She could get out of bed and simply come to me but no – she’ll just bellow until I dutifully appear. Except in the middle of last night when she realized I was not appearing as expected after the tenth time and decided to find her way to me…
I: “Sheye. Can you get me some crackers?“ (pause and then, in note to self fashion:) “I think I will call you Sheye forever.”
M: “Why?”
I: (Sighing.) “Oh, just because I so love you much“.
M: “Yes, I so love you much too Ivy. Now, get to sleep.”
I: “But I can’t. I was talking to Spongebob and he was very funny“.
It’s perplexing when they manage to come up with something that’s hard to argue with. I’m sure if Spongebob visited me I’d also find sleeping difficult. In the end her Dad tried his last resort method of bribing with shopping which worked a charm. I get that too.
Other randoms for today:
I’m so excited to be putting the last touches on my actions website! Eye Candy Actions, in fact fifty of them, are very close to launching!
Workshops for 09 are not far behind so thanks to everyone who’s expressed interest – registrations will open quite soon. If you’re on the waitlist, you’ll receive email to advise and of course I’ll post details here.
I have to mention, sadly, that an overseas parcel was rejected by customs this week – the only clue was the word “pinecone”. No sender, no origin, no nothing. I’m so sorry to whoever has posted this out – it seems that cranky customs are not sharing the love :(
If I owe anyone Flickrmail, I’m sorry for the neglect – I need to play catchup. I am however, pretty good at wasting time at Facebook. Feel free to add me.
As always, thank-you for giving me somewhere to share the difficult days and for the sweet notes left here and via email, they mean so much.

OH MY!! The actions! You KNOW I have been waiting patiently {or not!!} for their big launch!! I have even gone so far as to warn my husband that I WILL be buying them!! Like the other post said, your work is truly your own and absolutely amazing, but being able to use your actions will be fabulous!!
And Ivy. Oh Miss Ivy!! That skirt is about the cutest thing EVER! And the composition on that foot shot?! I need one of my Gentry like that!
Thanks for inspiring! Hoping today is much better for you!!
-
I am so in love with your actions Sheye, they are magical:)
I’ve just started up my blog and have a timestable tutorial for kids if anyone is bored interested enough to take a look!
-
Opps, bored was meant to be crossed out:O
-
Ivy is such a BEAUTY!! I never tire of looking at her as I’m sure you don’t either. :-) I love the foot shot. I think it’s one of my favorites. Soooo wish my husband would bribe me or my daughter with shopping to keep us quiet. Wonder how I could get a little birdy to whisper that in his ear without being too obvious. hmmm
Much love from NJ,
Sue

My Brodie decided that once he turned 5 he should call me Kristen instead on Mum. So cute and yet so cheeky !!
-
PS there are times I have to look twice at your photos to see which pretty girl it is as Ivy is looking so much like Ava with that gorgeous long hair.
-
I love how she curls her toes! Like she couldnt be happier. :) She looks so much like her sister in these pictures, they are absolutely beautiful and I love that skirt!
-
my little ones have the same habit of lying in their beds yelling: “MOMMY!” in the morning… nora is still in a crib, however julian could easily get out of his bed and come see me – but seems to prefer the yelling option.
i have to say, ivy and ava could pass for twins. you and crayton certainly have the recipe for beautiful babies.
love.

As always, simply beautiful, Sheye.
Love, Kyles
PS. I do not exactly know what ‘actions’ are but they sound good so I am looking forward to them too!
PSS. I had decided I was not going to do facebook due to a number of very good reasons (time mostly and lots of dodgy characters from school that I would rather not have to reject as my friend…again!!) but now I know you are on there I am left feeling ‘ohh’!!
-
These pictures have to be some of my all time favorites. So breathtakingly beautiful!
-
I love the toes shot!!! And that first picture….she’s just beautiful. It really does amaze me how much she looks like Ava.

In french Spongebob is ‘Bob l’éponge’. We love calling him ‘Bob l’éponge’ in our house! Sounds so hilarious. I wonder what Ivy and Bob l’éponge chatted about?
-

I love Ivy stories… thanks so much for sharing them.
My daughter and I had a similar conversation (at a more acceptable time of the day x) after much discussion, she decided she’d call me Lear…..
I said I’m your mum, so you call me mummy
she said, it’s ok I can call you my mummy, and my Lear
I smiled kissed her forehead, and said, you’re right, you absolutely can x
(some days there is no reasoning with 3.5 yo’s)love to you Sheye x looking forward to the ‘big launch’ x
-

Your pictures never cease to amaze me Sheye.
How kind of SpongeBob to come over for a visit. Did he get some crackers too ;) ?Love,
Tania

Late night Spongebob visits are fine – just make sure he doesn’t bring Patrick.
-
Ivy is so precious. The pictures are beautiful- I just can’t stop staring at them! I, too, am so excited at the thought of owning some Sheye actions- nothing could be more perfect!!!
About the workshops- will they be the explore and evolve workshops again, or something that would build on them. (I’m hoping to have an excuse to spend more time with you and all those lovely, lovely ladies from evolve!)
-
oh how I love her toes!!! Very berry cute! :D
-
Oh me, those little feet and ruffly skirt-simply divine!

I read your blog every time you update and I love your photos!!! Just curious…what kind of camera do you use?
Leave a Reply
I love seeing in frames, I love the beauty in the ordinary, I love my camera, I love that when I see images I hear too. I love the latelight, I love finding moments I didn’t imagine and I love creating moments I did. I love learning more every day, I love sharing what I’ve come to know, and I love making pictures pretty.
I’m so glad you stopped by. xx
I’m so excited you have actions coming! I’m sure I could never
recreate your captivating style but I’d sure love to have some of your magic:)
Of course, with models like miss ivy, there’s no way you can go wrong.
