trust?

i cant explain the hurt, anger and upset when someone ive trusted since grade 3 has ripped off my work. a set of photos for a client, shared in confidence, then reproduced and copied overnight and claimed as their own...a blog with a near replica of my blog name... and then an apolgy saying 'they had no idea it would upset me this much'... not to mention the 3 emails sent last night, asking for info on lenses, what aperture i prefer, where and who i sell to... i see now, tonight , was just fishing for information.

i cant help but feel used. i put a shit load of effort into my photography. its not easy. somedays i end up with a migraine and feeling ill because i have spent so much time in front of a camera and a computer...

to have that taken away makes me reasonably angry.


i. am. so. mad. right. now. and . hurt.

originality is a by product of sincerity... said blog even had 3 dots after its name like mine, it had the words life, is , like.... and 1 other random word...

big breathe in...
mens socks= comfy.... holeproof have finally brought out the explorer range( not to be confused with the massively failing ford explorer..exploder) , in womens... yay!... Mr L gets lovingly annoyed that i pinch his socks... so now i have my own, even in man blue :)

these are going to be adorning my feet all the time.. i hate cold feet... i love winter, hate cold feet.


well im off to bed, i had meetings until 11am then worked till 6.30 pm, im tired and want to just pull my doona up and snuggle. im happy to say goodnight to the computer screen... sleep well world

much loves danielle

These are some flowers i took photos of, the single Pink One reminds me of a blog i read called
Faux Fuchsia , shes fabulously stylish, funny and never afraid to be herself, fully, on any given day...



the "twin" ones remind me of twins i know... mostly my partner Mr L... hes a twin... the flower reminds me that twins , even though they share a womb, birth, everyday life, may even look the same or similar they are still separate people who will eventually want to go their own way.
At some point they will live separate lives. No matter how close, they are individuals.

i think its really important to embrace your own self, your originality . Never be afraid to be yourself, its better to be a first rate version of yourself than a second rate version of someone else.

thanks for reading.

uploader was being stupid so ill upload tomorrow...
sometimes i ate technology

night all
weekend report...

well i kind of did lots and nothing, if that makes sense? fri night Mr L went for beers with matres so i stayed home and sewed, it was really good to just be able to sew and have me time, and im sure he felt the same.
when he came home, not that late at all, only 9 ish, we had late night foodage, me, porridge and tea, him, meat and more meat lol...

Saturday saw a reasonably stressful day, Mr B and Miss L were just difficult to say the least, who would of thought a near 4 yo and a 6 yo could have mum in tears by 3pm..

i felt so grateful my babysitter chick had been booked a few weeks ago, and we were off to a bbq, we made a quick stop by the tribune to see leah and some new stock, sadly i wanst much impressed, please dont hate me LOL...

then off to Mr Ls mums place for a bbq, and which leah would come and join later , when wok finished... i love bbqs, relaxed and nice food,people etc...
i drank a whole bottle of wine .. whoops LOL..

had a great night , got home and slept like a baby...
today, sunday saw a nice sleep in, the kids didnt wake me up!!! fantastic work guys, love you lots!

Mr L did some welding and then we headed off to the markets... i bought only fruit and veges this time and some little dutch pancakes for the kids. it was a really nice sunny day, till lunch time ish...
i spent the arvo cleaning my kitchen and sorting my pantry. i also cooked a roast pork..nom nom nom...

Mr B wanted a hair cut , so i cut his locks off, again.. and trimmed Miss Ls hair while i was at it.

he had fun playing with the dodgiest camera in the world. dont ever ever buy an olympus small camera. they are crap. shit. waste of cash.

for a 5 mp camera i expected alot more, the only i grabbed it was to have in my handbag etc just in case. id rather lug my dslr around than that hunk of rubbish.

anyways here are his efforts, our stuff frm the markets, and this awesome cool roll thingo i made to keep all my sewing tools in.

hope you had a good weekend.
love danielle x
