The machinest
so much history from a simple sewing machine ! this particular one belonged to my granny and my dad recently passed it on to me, it did need a little t.l.c which i did lovingly and it still works !! . I knew i wanted to create a special image using the machine and while doing my research i discovered that singer played a big part in making uniforms for the military and as a military mum I felt we should include this too , i came across an old advert illustration from the company and used this as inspiration to create this image. ❤
Aarons coeliac journey
what is coeliac disease ?
Coeliac disease is a common autoimmune condition where the immune system in a person’s intestine (gut) reacts when they eat gluten. This causes chronic inflammation.
Aaron has suffered for at least 4 years with constant bowel troubles this was a major cause for concern we battled to get anything for him endless disimpaction regime's , so much time off school seeing him in pain not eating and barely drinking. Drs just passing it of a phase i knew in my gut something was not right yet I had to fight to get referrals. Eventually we managed to get to see a paediatrician and finally we got got a diagnosis ! something to help explain all the pain he has been in at last . One problem I had was trying to explain to him why certain food was bad for him there is plenty info written up but how can you explain to a child with words ! well this is where our photoshoot came into place we worked together to bring a selection of images to help spread awareness and also help show why its bad for him I hope this helps a few other in the process, and parents

Please read if you have any connection to the Military…
Are you serving in the military? Maybe looking for a gift for Mother’s day, are you a parent who wants to get your sailor/ solider something while on duty to remind them of home but never know what to get?
I have been in the same position, looking for something but just couldn’t find the right thing. So I got to work on it myself.

Today is world Encephalitis Day this is something I was not aware of until a friend had posted wanted some red images to create a post and spread awareness her son was diagnosed with it a few year ago thankfully he was very lucky and recovered quite well so in honour of this myself and my son Aaron created this image special thank you to Amy and George for spreading awareness below is some information on the condition
1 ... Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain
2...It is caused either by an infection or through the immune system attacking the brain in error.
3...Anyone can be effected by encephalitis, irrespective of age , s*x or ethnicity.
4...Encephalitis can lead to death and survivors are often left with an acquired brain injury with life changing consequences.
5 Early recognition and treatment can cave lives and improve patients outcomes.
So who all made it to the comic-con at Caledonia Park and did your little ones dress up ? Let me see your superheroes 😁 or villain 🤣 Stopping by to see the ecto1 by Ghostbusters ECTO1 CAR HIRE was definitely my highlight
WAR GAMES
You’re playing your War Games yet again
Aircraft Carriers, Tanks and Jeeps
Fighting the warfare, and giving pain
Feeling no Karma, you’re in too deep,
You can’t keep starting War Games yet again
A Constitution’s good, not written in stone.
Searching for your Holy Grail
Fighting a War feeling pain
You know it’s going to fail
Peace is the answer, and feeding the poor.
You’ve got power, but you don’t want to let it go, Let it go!
Don't keep on fighting your war games yet again.
The face of the future is asking you How?
You’ll never win any War, so show restrain
You look everywhere, in the back of your mind
Your still playing your war games we must complain
Protecting your finances, while you’ve still got time
Peace is the answer, well it’s better, much better than war
So just remember, you have to, you've got to let us know
When you stop playing your war games forever
You’re playing your War Games together
I want you to make peace and not war
I’m sure you’ve heard that before
You’ve got the power to end it this very day
So stop playing your war games without delay
Let little children grow up in peace,
Stop playing your war games, be clever
It’s better to talk, for the sake of our Earth
You can’t keep playing your war games for ever
Your building a barrier, why can’t you see
You’ve got the cheek to question my sanity.
Just stop playing your War Games altogether
You know talking is the right thing to do

Happy burns days everyone
when your niece turns up for a little visit and we take few random shots she was very creative with the flowers :)
When your sailor comes home for Xmas couldn't let him leave without me taking some portraits of him 🥰 think this one is my favourite though
If I like it, it's mine.
If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
If I can take it from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way
If I'm chewing something, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
If I saw it first, it's mine.
If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
If it's broken, it's yours.
now thats a Christmas photo i just love these girls , we always have crazy fun together when they visit me Anna Murray it is always an absolute pleasure to see you this year was so different without little bobby but we will have an extra special image in his memory ❤
