Getting there slowly

Christmas cookies

I only have about 5 minutes to post this as I need to jump in the car and pick up the kids, drop them off at piano, do the shopping, come home and make supper and carry on baking (is everyone already in a coma with boredom, because I am).

I've been loitering around at home today with flu - or whatever a swollen throat, achy body and thumping head is called (exhaustion?).

Anyhow it did give me the opportunity to take the photos' for the famous website that never seems to get finished. Since we actually start selling on Thursday (DON"T REMIND ME) it would seem fairly critical at this stage.

Anyhow I'm quite pleased with the results with my first attempts at food photograghy, given that I hardly know how to use Tyler's fancy Nikon and coudn't even get the tripod open let, alone use it. Also had to chase chickens and push the cat off the table several times and got very dizzy standing on the table looking down on the biscuits to get all those professional-looking shots but think, in the end,  it was worth it. Have to keep reminding myself that's this is meant to be a dream and not a nightmare.
