life has been keeping me very busy lately and my little space here has been left a little neglected. lots has been happening!
I’ve started studying again and i’m also excited to say I’m a roller derby girl in-training! i’ve joined the wonderful gals at sun state roller girls and i’m excited to be going to watch my first bout this saturday!
the best news by far (a little old now but still) is that our little buddy Stewie was found and is home safe & sound after going missing for almost 3 months! and by a twist of fate, we adopted Lucy the day before stewie was found! so its been an interesting time recently while our two little buddies learnt to be buddies with each other…

so, wow. 2010! it’s here and has been for a few days now. holidays are over and it’s time to face the year ahead. I’m so happy to welcome this fabulous fresh new year. 2010 so far is all about good news, new directions, slowing down but not bowing out, family, friends, adventures and learning.
i wish you and yours a happy and healthy 2010!

beau & trouble
December 10, 2009
it was a great day for mail today! the brooch i ordered weeks ago at finders keepers arrived today and it’s nicer than i could have imagined! beau & trouble are a duo of brisbane artists making limited edition handmade jewellery. it’s nice to know how lovely both janice & natalie are and how much care and love they put into each piece.
i also was given the lovely wrap you can see in the picture above. a family friend has just returned from 3 weeks at a buddhist monastery in tibet and she brought back this lovely handloomed wrap. i really love this colour combination and i’ve been told that these wraps are super warm. looking forward to using this during our very brief, blink and you’ll miss it, winter.
day dreams
December 7, 2009
the busier it gets this time of year, the more i find myself day dreaming of deck chairs and good books, endless cups of teas and quiet from the christmas noise (carols! sales! traffic! stress!)
i miss having stewie around. apart from being a super cool cat, i realise now that he forced us to relax more often when he’d wander up and randomly settle in on our lap (or chest or shoulder…) and demand that we just sit and focus on the task at hand (which usually was patting him) while he got busy with the purring. i hope that he’s around somewhere doing important de-stressing work with some other lucky family and that his time with us simply had to end.
miss you buddy.
