Getting well soon

August 3, 2011

I have a minute to myself while my patients rest. I should be doing so many other things, yet I’m here. Oh well. Just wanted to say, my guilt for feeling resentful has not dissipated, but it has at least the resentment has gone. I was hoping there would be a torrent of comments telling [...]

Photo by Otto

July 28, 2011

The snow was amazing but I haven’t had a chance to upload the snow photos yet. It’s been such a busy week with customs to finish off and a whole heap of new balloons to photograph and put in the shop. Also sending off an order to a new stockist in Brisbane. I am so [...]

Sun and snow

July 22, 2011

It’s a freezing Melbourne winter and we are heading off to the snow for a long weekend. Otto and Coco have never seen proper snow before, which got me thinking about all the firsts children experience. I found these pics of Coco enjoying her first proper summer at the beach. She is about 10 months [...]

Coco’s turn…

July 18, 2011

Coco’s been busy too. Not running but painting. (See here, for how it all began) I signed her up for an art class with the amazing, brilliant and so-very-lovely Dawn Tan. It was held last week at Harvest Textiles. If you don’t know/haven’t heard about this group of clever ladies then you need to find [...]

Run Otto Run!

The truth behind school holidays

July 7, 2011

And believe me I want to tell lies. Big ones!! I want to say I plan craft activities and excursions. Excursions where I pack nutritional, yet tasty home made treats and we skip gaily through the meadow finding the perfect picnic spot. I want to show you all the wonderful things I make with the [...]

Shall we dance?

June 30, 2011

Last day of the school term tomorrow which means two weeks of mid-year holiday fun begins on Saturday. It also means this week has been all about end of term presentations, parent/teacher interviews and most importantly a chance to watch Coco in her ballet class. She only started this term but already it’s the thing [...]

Letters from my brother…

June 28, 2011

I received some gorgeous presents for my birthday last week. I have such thoughtful friends and family, in-laws included, who consistently choose really thoughtful presents. So, so lucky.

Z to the I to the N to the D to the Z to the I!

June 17, 2011

HOLLEERRRR! That’s one of my extremely clever, talented and beautiful sisters up there (I have two sisters and a brother and I would describe them all that way. I’m so lucky), bottom right, with the fan and fierce hair style. Zindzi’s an actor with the Sydney Theater Company, but not only that, she is one [...]
