Almost a New Year


So much has been happening this past year. I’m now settled into my new home and started the essential kitchen garden and had some fantastic crops of tomatoes, eggplant, malabar spinach, spinach, silverbeet, chillies and capsicum, beans, cucumber and various herbs. I’ve done quite a bit of art journalling this past year and also did the Dirty Footprints Studio course ’21 Secrets’.  Did not get to publish a lot online, as I was without a scanner/printer for most of the year, but really enjoyed the course in a quieter way, taking in all the lessons on offer.  Also enjoyed the 21 Secrets Conversations with Connie Hozvicka doing a fantastic job with the interviews.  Just some of my favourites would be France Papillon, Dion Dior, Bebe Butler and Cathy Bluteau.

Went to Melbourne a few weeks ago and got to visit quite a few art supply stores, consequently my art supplies have expanded somewhat and am really enjoying try out new things.  Went on a day trip to the Yarra Valley visiting some wineries and cheese making places along the way.  The Mind, Body & Spirit Festival was on while I was down there, and I simply had to attend.

There are a few courses I am interested in doing this coming year, but haven’t yet decided what I’ll do exactly.  I am looking forward to 2015, and have a few things I would like to achieve as the year unfolds.   Towards the end of this year I lost my wonderful little dog of 13 and half years and miss him terribly.  Rest in peace my little mate.

Hope the New Year unfolds with peace, love and happiness for everyone.  See you in the New Year.
