Saturday morning catch up.

Yesterday I got to go with Nessie to pick the kids from their new School, it was so cute and lovely to se them so happy.

They are going to Faith Academy and it is the first week that Alex has been a school boy and he looks a pro!

Logan is still waiting for a place in the school and Ness is going to home school him until it happens, I hope he gets a place soon.

I finally got my camera back from the shop and it's taking me a while to get used to it again. I'm thinking I might sell it and get an SLR. I'm sure it wouldn't take long for me to be buying stacks of external hard drives loaded with frozen moments of my observations.

I got to meet my little niece Carlotta on Thursday. She is such a little darling and very much so Grandpa's little girl. I was lucky to have heaps of cuddles and I'm going to have more today :)

Amanda and Craig are heading back to Auckland around the 13th and I want to spend as much time with them while I can. I think we are going to have a wee party here tonight?

It would be nice if they move to NZ so we can hang out and see Carlotta grow up in to a lovely lady!

Amanda introduced me to a UK band 'Unkle Bob'. I have been listening to their music all morning and I have started singing the songs. Her sister Kirst is seeing on of the members of the band check them out www.myspace.com/unklebobband

We have been away on holiday for the past week. We went to stay in Tomarata at Dave's and had a great time. Next time I will pack my paints as the view is just beautiful!

Chrissy told me about an artists in residence oppotunity when we called in to see them on our way through Auckland. I send in an application so cross your fingers that I get it and head back North to paint.

In Tomarata we enjoyed the serenity while lying on the private beach, listening to nature, playing cricket, eating loads of food and drinking imported beer and wine.

It would be so nice to pack up our stuff and head up that way to live life there for a while.

We stayed a night in Taupo on the way up the island and had a great deal on a room over looking the lake so on the way back we spent another night there, jumped in their spa and had a lovely dinner in the resturant, it was called Chill, we thought it was funny cause we have been thinking about opening a small wine bar and calling it CHILL!

We celebrated our first year of being married!

On the way home we called into the Tongariro National Trout Centre. It was so peaceful, as you can see in this photo. We had a stroll around and got to see tiny baby trout. Did you know a mama trout can have 30,000 babies in one go?

My message for the day was: Your love is happiness, is peace, is immortality, and is abundantly cared for.

Love and light x x 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.
