one week done.
I am really keen to start work. But school holidays are still in full swing. 24 days until it is over.
We've had a week at the beach. Lazy days slapping on sunscream, washing away sand and dining out. We saw the new year in sitting on the beach with 40,000 other people. And although it was fun, I really wanted just to be creating in silence. Infact I've been craving a milder climate and open fires.
To end the week, I flew to Melbourne to surprise a friend for her 40th. I was there for less than 24 hrs, not a good thing when you know how much that city has to offer. But worth every moment seeing her face light up.
I've pocketed some of my visual memories from this week and hopefully will find a few spare hours to start experimenting on paper.
In the meantime, i'm packing Christmas away under the stairwell, and unsubscribing to emails that I never open. The amount of rubbish emails I get from companies that I never buy from or link to is time wasting and mind numbing.
It feels good to clear the decks and prepare for what will hopefully be a fullfilling year.
Happy new year Tiel!! may it be one full creativity and inspiration!!

That long holiday is a killer. Mark is back to school today, and Johnny on Weds. But oddly this time, I'm a little sad about the holiday ending. We have had such a peaceful time at home and the frenzy of school commitments seems worse with each passing year. It was good to just breathe (but then our Christmas holiday is the shortest one).
I should do that unsubscribing thing too.

oh I' counting the days until school starts back as well - as much as I'm trying to drag it all out. It's lovely not having to get up and rush rush rush; but some kid-free endless hours of creating are really needed here too!!
Lots of house cleaning and clearing has been happening as well. I like your idea of unsubscribing from mailing lists. I was just thinking the other day how "clear my inbox" in on my mental to-do list. urgh. What a silly thing.
Enjoy xxx

Same here Tiel... I'm clearing so many decks in this house I'm getting a bit giddy from this wonderful feeling of lightness! The cooler weather has helped too ;) Good lucky with your prep time. Kx
