every blog i look at was updated yesterday!
what is with you people? how do you manage it?
i am in awe and also grumbly.

i've got a great sunday lined up, coffee and cribbage (the new winter addiction!) at the addington coffee co-op (brilliant cafe with good tunes and couches and a stick-around feel) followed by a craft session accompanied by mulled wine. not bad eh.
craft is the word of the minute... so much to do, so little time! i am going up north to visit lisa and do a craft market, and as yet i have verrrry little prepared.
lucky for me i have lots of friends who are gently pushing me along, haha, because my stress levels are such that they are almost immobilising.
why don't i learn?

in other news, i am planning a northern hemisphere adventure for next year. a couple of months of real holiday, and lots of visiting of friends!

TAKiNG STOCK

you know what sucks?

cracked fingertips so sore it makes every little task an ordeal

some bastard driving into the back of your van and not leaving even a note

overlockers and sewing machines

on the brighter side, the dux does great nachos and i have plenty of lovely workmates to enjoy a friday evening ginger tom with.
and tomorrow, though a long day at work, is the last day of my week and then i get to breeeathe. yay!

yup, the good still outweighs the bad.

PERFECT SATURDAY

Coffee and morning chats with Ra, followed by a drive to Sumner with the lovely Karen for foods and drinks and looks at pretty things.


I got a present!



A beautiful beautiful notebook of gorgeousness. Yes, the picture is backwards, I took it using PhotoBooth as I am too lazy to do it properly, hooking the camera up again is beyond my capability right now!

Then I came home and made feijoa chutney with Marce, it smelled so good and it was easy enough to make and our jars sealed just fine. Yum!


T'was then time for dinner with Ra and Megs, another Allard St feast, followed by a happy hour or so piecing bits together in my visual diary.



Must be bed time now!

SOME DELiCiOUS MOMENTS FROM MY PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURE TODAY.

packing a camera or two packing a picnic checking oil and water filling up with fuel it's photography adventure time! i'm heading out into the wilds with my friend tania, who is doing a photography course. i bagsed the postion of chief photography buddy... which she doesn't mind, as it also means chief chauffeur! i am just looking forward to getting out of town for a few hours, even if i don't get any shots i'm stoked with. x

Love and Be Loved

have i mentioned recently how much i love michael leunig's work?

so much treasure!
today: a little cardboard suitcase filled with plastic cereal box planes.
any creative cats out there want to suggest what i could do with them?

iNTERFERENCE

life interferes with art, the past interferes with the heart, she interferes with me. addiction creeps up slowly, surely. suddenly i am gasping, out of water, craving and wishing... disintegrating... turquoise ink and bright words combat the sinking, but only for a short while. driving is next. movement, quick glimpses of other places and other lives, the soft haze that speed lends to edges and foregrounds.

i've decided (perhaps rashly) to have a bash at shift.org's 26 things.

The list is now up for the 26 Things March 2009 hunt!

1. sound
2. press
3. turn
4. label
5 . wheels
6. silence
7. new
8 . old
9. list
10. creep
11. stand off
12. admiration
13. mess
14. always
15. half
16. strings
17. hallway
18. grand
19. graffiti
20. juicy
21. instrument
22. logo
23. on the horizon
24. yawn
25. bump
26. macro

wish me luck!
