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.
