Back from a short break
Hey friends… sorry for my absence, did you miss me? I’ve had a very emotionally charged week that has left me feeling exhausted, confused and just plain angry. I’m hoping to get back on track next week. About my photo – the high point of my week was visiting my parents house with the boys.…

Is handmade creative?
Yes that is me on the cover of this fictitious magazine. This is my next Uni assignment and it’s still a work in progress so feel free to critique if you are so inclined. This assignment has been a little frustrating due to lack of feedback from our lecturer (turns out she’s been overseas for…

Don’t You Just Love Telephone Companies?
We have had an interesting time with our telephone company this weekend. We lost phone and internet on Friday night, we had no phone (just mobiles) all Saturday and no internet. Our phone returned on Saturday evening but still no internet.. can you imagine? No *gasp* blogging. Do you remember what you did before the…

A Reason for my Silence
All has been quite on the blog front lately. This is the reason – a brand new iMac. I know there was method to my madness but I can’t remember what that was! Not that I’m complaining – it’s so cool, but it’s a great leap for me who has been so used to the…
