Only 5 days till the Open Studios event.

Life has been great!

I had Tony, Nick and Sam come over to do a photo shoot with them and we had loads of fun and took heaps of photos. I'm going to miss them loads when they go back to the UK. This photo was just a random image I took when we were walking to the Waimarie.

I have been working on finishing my catalogue for the open studios and I think I may have finished it? I just have to get Shaughan to do a proof read to make sure my spelling and grammar is right. If you want to have a wee look click here.

I finished hanging all the art yesterday and even gave our bedroom a good clean out. I just have to find a piece of carpet and it will be like a new room.

I had a great sleep last night and woke up a full moon lighting up the town it was so peaceful.

This Easter the town has been so quite a nice change from all the noise. It would be so nice if shops closed on Sundays again then people could spend more time with their loved ones, instead of going to work or shopping.

I had a lovely artist pop in a few days ago called Amanda she was from the USA and by accident ended up in Wanganui for the night. We sat had coffee and had a good chat about art. I'm so excited that next weekend, I will be opening my doors to more interesting people. I miss not having the gallery.

I finally got my fish tank set up and have to wait 3 days before I can buy some fish. It's pretty mad I have put shells, crystals, skulls, driftwood, my glass and so much more.
The water is all misty and it looks spooky. I would like to get black goldfish for the tank. It's exciting as I have always wanted fish since staying with Bex and watching her flatmates tropical fish swim around. I can't afford tropical fish at the moment but the goldfish will be a good start.

I just took this photo of my office, I feel so blessed to have this amazing space to work and live in!

I'm hoping to get the card I need for my computer soon, then I can upload more movies onto my blog. I can't wait to film an online tour of my home for those of you who can't make it here over the open studios.

My message for the day was: Hold the truth in consciousness that sickness cannot exist in the face of love, and you will reveal the greatest reality of them all.

My sister is having her baby soon and every time the phone rings I think it is a call to get to the hospital. It's so exciting!!!!!

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.
