Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
Is it really the end of January already? As Melanie said in her SYW post, it’s going to be another blink and you’ll miss it year! The good news for me is I have just come back from seeing my daughter, a mini-vacation and on Saturday I get to open the studio for workshops and…

It’s such a weird time right now, it’s almost like everyone is holding their breath, waiting to exhale. People seem to be fixating on trivial things, as they don’t want to look at the whole picture. Take this whole tennis thing with Noak, what a joke. The guy thinks he’s royalty and is above the…

Wow! the world is a crazy place. Australia has one of the highest infections rate of Covid at the moment, it’s totally out of control. No one seems to care. It’s no longer a case of if we catch it, but when. Being double or triple vaccinated doesn’t stop you from catching it, only dying…

Today is actually Remembrance Day here in Australia, not even a public holiday, just a moment of silence to remember all those who have fallen in war. I stood at the curb of my local shopping centre, waiting for my lift, so yes I stood silently…nobody else seemed to. Very weird. Anyway no more on…

We’ve had a week of Freedom and what have I done…cleaned up around the house and had a heap of junk removed. Bought a new frypan. Had a haircut. Got my eyes tested. Visited family and friends (some a few times!) but not much else. The roads are jam-packed, people trying to go away, people…

Things are finally starting to open up and look up. They have eased our restrictions again! Last Friday we were allowed to visit family and friends (if we’re all double vaxxed), so I saw two different friends on Friday, with one we played in the studio and had a fabulous morning. Then I had another…
