A glorious day basking under blue skies, enjoying the skin-tingling warmth of the sun, and the aroma of golden wattle (with the odd <em>ah-choo</em>!).<br /><p>Indeed it was the perfect day for a photoshoot. My little model was eager to try on the new {TUTU COUTURE} designs with plenty of trampoline jumping in between shots.</p>New designs include a {RAINBOW LITE} tutu (pictured), a {STRAWBERRY DELIGHT} tutu, {HIGH TEA AT TIFFANY'S} tutu, and a {VIOLET FAIRY} tutu.<br /><br />Am certainly looking forward to opening my {MADEIT.COM.AU} online shop.<br /><br />Stay tuned!<br />Annathe beehive emporiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11627246172752792717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233731085269591242.post-40337580518462307812010-07-21T05:43:00.000-07:002010-07-21T06:05:36.889-07:00WORKING WITH CHILDREN<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8i_3j0uDZnKcbJBcGKaIT9RroQiNjLkHfFxSyS-x98BKuxS9gp1xwpYBHxFSoJ50m3r5EBu9lwAwlaYOoPUdJ1WSwsGCkwWQUqRtL23M5coD2Sd1ofac1GkwO9t0HjE4HykMqM6yOqZbO/s1600/IMG_1291.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496340549289317362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8i_3j0uDZnKcbJBcGKaIT9RroQiNjLkHfFxSyS-x98BKuxS9gp1xwpYBHxFSoJ50m3r5EBu9lwAwlaYOoPUdJ1WSwsGCkwWQUqRtL23M5coD2Sd1ofac1GkwO9t0HjE4HykMqM6yOqZbO/s320/IMG_1291.JPG" /></a>I have invested in a little bodyform as a {STAND IN MODEL} when my little {LIVING DOLLS} are unavailable (or unwilling) to model for me.<br /><br />It has taken me 6 months to get my (nearly 2 year old) daughter to even put on a tutu. She now loves wearing her {BALLERINA TUTU} but has decided that a tutu is for one thing only... {DANCING}. She doesn't stand still when she's in it, thus no usable photos of her yet.<br /><br />Toddlers are not temperate at the best of times, and at the worst of times are more of a tempest. I'm not sure who said it... but it had something to do with not working with animals or children.<br /><br />However, {CHILDREN} are the very reason we do what we do, the very reason we love like we do, and the very reason we dream like we do.
