Sunny Sunday

Well it has been a pretty full on week! Shaughan has the week off and we have been filling our days with loads of interesting things, like playing the Guitar Hero game for the Playstation. I must say I got a bit addicted to this game and had loads of fun rocking out for the few rainy days we had.

Yesterday we were down at the beach at 7am fishing, can you believe it? I had to drag myself out of bed and it took a few cups of coffee before I could think straight. We didn't catch anything but I got some great photos with the light being perfect and it was so calm.

It is always a nice morning in Wanganui on Saturday when the sun is shinning walking around the markets and talking to loads of interesting people. I bought myself a cool badge yesterday of a Tui and in the afternoon, when we took Ralph to the park, I lay under a tree with the most beautiful sounding Tui singing in it, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.

I got a lovely parcel in the post from Nescafe yesterday with a mug with my painting on it and a lovely congratulations letter for making it into the top 24, with a whole lot of goodies, I was over the moon. I have to say that the people at Nescafe have a winning team and it's nice to have been involved in the cupspace competition, I am already thinking about what I'm going to do for next year. You can see the cup design that won out of the 3458 designs at http://www.cupspace.co.nz/

I was over the moon on Friday when my 'Lust' paintings were bought from Cracked Pepper Cafe. It's such a good feeling when a painting starts a new journey and it defiantly helps my Visa balance come back under its limit.

We have had heaps of people come up and hang out and I have already filled up the first video tape up on my new video camera Shaughan bought me for Xmas, watch out Peter Jackson.

The building has been started with its makeover and that is pretty exciting to see as we have been waiting for the past 3 years for it to happen! We aren't sure what colours it will be painted but I'm sure it will look better than baby blue, dull pink and white it is at the moment.

My Message for the day is: When you are willing to consult Divine guidance about everything, you are freed to let go and enjoy living.
I'd better stop and get my groove on as Shaughan keeps saying hurry up lets get out into the sunshine.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! x x

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books. Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

I'm really enjoying blogging again, it's been years since I have written everyday. I used to do morning pages before I got pregnant, I have heaps of books full of my dribble. The Artist Way by Julia Cameron  got me into the morning pages! Every artist should own a copy of that book!  I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting.  Here are my 2 creations for the day... Releasing my MADNESS!  Getting more into it without distractions Don't you love the texture wax makes! I have been looking for my cutter cause this card is too big and I just can't find it anywhere.  Here are some other pieces I have done, in the past with encaustic wax.
