37 days to go

I have just returned from Queensland...they had their average yearly rainfall in one day!!!! I am waiting for the ark to be re-floated, just 37 more days to go at this rate for Noah and the animals to take off again. (Leave the rodents behind this time).
Have been playing with some felt and working with Jane from the Fibre Hut regarding combined workshops next year. Perhaps I will see some of you at the show in Queensland next week (if Brisbane is still there).

Kurri Kurri weekend

Returned tired and excited after the Kurri Kurri weekend with NCEATA (www.nceata.org) as their artist in residence. Working with no agenda other than developing skills and ideas is totally liberating. I have experimented with some new techniques and will be developing them in the future for workshops and e-books. Great tutors there also...Judy Hoowarth,Claire Brach, Kirry Toose and Wendy Scott energised and exhausted the students with their projects.
I will be a tutor next year (3rd weekend in May) so get your bookings in now if you want to come and play. The venue (and food) is great, the stimulation of working and playing and sharing with like minded people is absolutely priceless!

Here today, gone tomorrow

Now that I am just back on the blogging air, just advising you that I will not be posting again until (perhaps) Sunday, but then most probably Monday as I prepare for Artist in Residency in Kurri Kurri.
I am working on Black/White/Silver as I said and towards some new techniques for a new publication a little later in the year. I also pick up my Art to Wear entry adn will be taking some image for the blog for next week. I keep on feeling that I have let you down by not getting images up as I had promised, but I am moving forward at last.

All clear

I have had the all clear from the specialist...no known reason why, but I am shooting off lots of extra heart beats (maybe I just have more than enough to go around!!) and unless they all join up and give me trouble, he does not want to see me again.
Phew...do I feel better about this! I think everything is settling down in my life.
Getting ready to pack for Kurri Kurri this weekend, working (??playing) with black white and silver collars/neck attire and cuffs.
And, no, I haven't forgotten Forum photos...I have NONE on my camera, waiting to receive some for show and tell.
I am also trying to take some images of the skirt I wore at the ASG industry day in Morisset last Saturday, but my time just leaked out of the day today.

Heart Starter

I came back from Forum and had to have a whole swag of Cardiology tests...off to the Cardiologist today for results. I am absolutely fine as far as the way I feel, but have some weird-crazy-little-guys showing on most of my tests. Probably nothing, but need to eliminate any nasties.
I also took some time off from everything personally. My Mum died earlier this year and I thought I was fine with everything, but I hit an emotional wall after Forum in conjunction with everything else that was happening.

I am back on track now, getting everything together for Kurri Kurri this weekend.
