Exhaustion

I am sooooo tired from the last few months.

I got a phone call this morning from Avis questioning my flight details for tomorrow. I insisted they were correct but when I checked the paper work I found I had accidently booked a flight for this afternoon!! And no I'm not ready to go today. Tonight I have to feed a swarm of people and tomorrow I have to get the dog and the daughter ready for a week without me.

My head is not attached to any functioning part of my body at the moment. This week I've just barely been able to function so I had to right-off todays flight and re-book and pay for tomorrow. I hope the rest of my holiday doesn't hold any further problems.

Sunday Afternoon

BYRON BAY HERE I COME
It's raining here in Sydney, the perfect day to do some making. I have a plain skirt I'm attempting to sketch on with my sewing machine - not a great success but fun. I've had a lovely weekend hanging out with girlfriends.



Yesterday I spent hours with a friend who recently lost her son. I don't think I'd ever get over that and she doesn't think she will either but crying and remembering him seems to help. We laughed at his funny ways and both cried into our cups of tea. The hours fly past when you're in intimate moments with friends.



I truly love the women in my life at the moment. Some have been around for years and others for only the last 3 or 4 but they are all special to me. My lovely friend Lou has been chosen as a finalist in the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize from amongst an international field of artists. I'm sooo proud of her and her work.



I'm off to Byron Bay next sunday for a week of R&R. And boy do I need it. I love Byron - the pace of life, the restaurants and cafes, the beach, the weather, the scenery, just about everything. I can't wait.

The Toy Society

This is one of the greatest things I have seen in a long time. The Toy Society started as street art here in Australia and as you'll see from the posts people are sending their handmade bundles of love off into the world in places as far flung as The Netherlands, South Australia and the US. I might have to join in!!
