Looking Down...another perspective of life.

I think i have been missing for awhile.   For those of you that are new to my world, i happily got a new grand bean in September and have been very busy with all sorts of bits of life for the past month.  i am making progress catching up, only to find that other things have slipped to the back burner...and so it goes.

i am preparing to host my fall boutique the week of November 10th, with a number of artists joining me.  I am grateful i have so many people around me that make beautiful things, and that there are so many that know the value of these beautiful homemade gifts to give their family and friends over the holidays.  I did the boutique for 16 years....then took a hiatus to help my sister in law with her twins that were born premature.  I kind of "let it go" after that, much to the disappointment of my artist friends and my great bunch of shoppers!  Suffice it to say, people were still asking "when are you going to open The Shepherd's Daughter Boutique again!?  I miss that!"  SO....this year i caved.  I lost my job in June, and thought, why not.  i will have more time to devote to it and can stay open the whole week instead of just opening on weekends like i used to.

I must be certifiably insane, as i began my photography business in January and things as they usually are, are slow to start....but now of course they are picking up....right when i need to gear up for this event...AND a big shoot this coming weekend!  One thing i can not do is take a little time to play...i know what happens if i don't, and it is not a pretty sight!  My classes with Kim Klassen are a huge part of my sanity keeping repitoire, and this weeks challenge was try looking down shots.  It just to happens that last week, i did just that!  As i walked past 2 of my sweet beans, i glanced down at them on the flor and what i saw was a whole new view of Lileigh Grace and her brother, Noah.  She spends a lot of time taking things away from him and not sharing....after being the "one and only" for a little over 2 years, and finally realizing he is not going back where he came from, she seems to finally be making peace with the whole thing!  Here, she feeds him from his sippy cup,  "Because, Mmmm-ma, he spills."
she tells me matter of factly.

Km, this is for you.  I had no time to stand on a chair yet this week, and these two looked so cute from my above view!  I hope you enjoy seeing part of my world from another perspective!
