Just Do It

For some reason I have a very out of sorts the past couple of days. I haven't felt well, I have been unmotivated and I have been really missing my Mum and Dad. It has just gone 2 years 9 months since Mum passed away and 5 months since Dad has gone and the past couple of days it has gotten to me a bit. So today I thought to myself - self what would Mum say if she was here? She would say just get up and do something, keep you mind active!! So after working this morning I came home and decided to sit in the studio and just make some bracelets without really thinking to much about anything. I ended up making five and even though they are not mind blowing original masterpieces I'm really happy with how they turned out and they did give me something to think about other than my feelings.

Angel Brunch @ Rivers of Yarrambat

Today I had a lovely time at "Angel Brunch". We went to a new location called "Rivers of Yarrambat" which is a Cafe, Providore, Garden Nursery, Conference Centre and Health & Wellbeing Centre.  It was such a nice time spent at a great location with great food and five very inspiring women. It's great spending time with girls who have some of the same interest but are totally different. As we due some Angel Card Readings it's always good to have a question you would like an answer to. Usually my questions are a bit flaky but today I had a really specific question in mind. Well not to disappoint the cards I got answered my question exactly and I mean exactly. I know there are a lot of people out there that think all this Angel Reading stuff is a bit weird and not quite true. But when you get an exact answer to a fairly specific question you really cannot doubt that something is going on. So now I know that the road I am taking in my life is the right road I'm happy. That doesn't mean there with be times of doubt in the future but I'll cross that bridge if I get to it.

Finally I have uploaded some of my jewellery onto my sister blog. Eventually I will get a proper business website set up, but until then I will give myself some exposure on DavineRaeDesign. I would love you all you follow my sister blog and I would also love your comments and suggestions.

Catch Up

Oh I have had such a busy and tiring few days I have hardly looked at any blogs let alone write anything. But I am here and loving catching up on some reading. OK now what have I been doing since Wednesday? Thursday I had a few hours work and then went and roamed around the “Quilt and Craft Fair”. These types of events are not good for a crafter that is also a non-finisher. I really made an effort not to purchase any new projects. All was going well until I got to the bead area and I got just a little carried away. When I got home I hit the wall again (as in the being exhausted wall) and I had a nice bath and had an early night. Then Friday – what did I do Friday? I had an early appointment at out patients, to get the results of my operation. After a two hour wait, I finally got to see the Dr. – might I add for about 10 minutes. Anyway she was happy how the surgery went; apparently it was a lot more involved and longer than they initially thought. But pathology has tested everything and all is clear, but that wasn’t a surprise for me – I knew all would be OK. Then Friday afternoon I went to work – I once again hit the wall and had times where it was hard to keep my eyes open. It just amazes me how draining having an anaesthetic can be. When does it wear of?? Then last night I went to a card making class with some girlfriends. Here is a photo of the card we made. It’s hard to see by the photo but when the tag is pulled the pictures open up. I think it turned out OK. Now I am up to today – Shane arrived home from Darwin – with my pressie – and a bit sunburnt. It’s amazing to think in one country Shane can be in Darwin (which is right at the top) and be getting sunburnt and I can be in Melbourne (bottom) and be freezing. So much has been accomplished today except a lot of talking, oh and I completed two necklace orders I had received.

Bubbles

My Monday was spent working at “Homing Instincts” and as usual it was a very enjoyable day. It is so nice spending the day in a shop with not only beautiful but really interesting products. This was my first full day of work since my operation and by 5.00pm when I finished I was pretty tired. Next on the agenda was dinner – what to have? I couldn’t decide what to have but I quickly decided I couldn’t be bothered cooking. So off to the noodle shop I went and shouted myself a big bowl of Chinese noodle soup. While walking to the shop I had to pass by a fountain and I must say I thought it looked beautiful. Someone had put some liquid soap in it and it was just a mountain of shimmering bubbles that were getting blown across the court. I know this is a form of graffiti and who ever did it shouldn’t have, but I still think it looks great. I remember years ago there was a fountain in the city that had also been bubbled but the bubbles also had red food colouring added as well. Oh my - it was beautiful.
