If you were the ocean...

(if you were the ocean, I'd learn to float)


(always remember where you came from)


(collecting thoughts)


I have just listed the above three and a few others in my Etsy shop today. I had a few computer problems, I don't think the right parts were listening to each other? But all is sorted now...

I had the last weekend all to myself... The rest of the family took Uncle Ken (who has been staying with us for a week or so) to Rotorua to see the plop plops... I offered to stay home and get some housework done. It was so nice to do what I wanted when I wanted... I decided to have a little nap at 5:30, just because I could... which would have usually been a very busy time in our house, I watched 3 harry Potter DVD's in a row and ate pickled things, I put my music up loud and sung along at the top of my voice. Was good fun and good for me....

Something wonderful came to me in the weekend, I was picked out to win a encaustic painting by the very clever and talented Beth from tangledskystudio. I have fallen in love with this little piece, it is so precious. I look at it often and I can't help but smile. The other night I went to the loo at about 4 in the morning and had to come out to the kitchen to see it again. So thank you so much Beth, it means a lot to me.

My good friend Anne Michelle made a suggestion about adding a little bit of white to my girls eyes... which I have done to these three and I think it has made a big difference to them, such a clever thing she is... thanks for that wise piece of advise.

I have just bought a new digital camera to take away with me (two weeks tomorrow)!!! My old one was getting on a bit and quite bulky compared to my new slimline one. So I am looking forward to taking some pictures of the wonderful sights waiting for me.

I don't plan to do any more works in the next few weeks, but you never know... I am planning however to get a new business card done and maybe some giveaway postcards to take with me.

A small note to mother nature...I really like autumn, but I like to ease into it not be thrust into it like a raging bull!!!
