Lakesleisure

Wahoo, Queenstown has a pool... opens on Sat 31 May... looking forward to doing some lengths on the way home from work...also wondering about the spa's after winter fest opening night for the Creative Inspiration South campers.... Photo above is rubbish as my lens kept steaming up (should have done the put it in a bag thing) but Alicia loves the lazy river!

Now Penny has a 'list' thing going on her blog... for some of her 'eco bags'... loved these last time she had one up for the draw... but I missed out! Happy blog birthday Penny & welcome to the terrible twos...

my list: splendid things
1. a pool for Queenstown
2. planning a weekend of just creating
3. dh vacuuming & mopping the floor
4. my dd finding her sisters poetry book that's been missing for a month
5. the snow capped mountains all around my home with clear skies behind
6. new jammies & slippers for the kids
many, many more things!

so there's a start to my list Penny... do I get in the draw now?

laters.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

a catch up

Spent last night in Invers. We had a family dinner for dh's Nanny. We did a brief shop @ Farmers (none in the Wakatip) & went to Splash Palace this morning & BK for lunch (there's no BK here either!). Here are my 21 Challenge pages for the last three days. The hardest one was the Eleanor Roosevelt quote as I'm not sure what scares me - other than a lingering death while my children are still young, or one of them or dh being harmed in some way but even then I have a faith that gives me hope & assurance of a future. So I decided to apply this to my art or my creating - to try something new each day - even if it scares me. Day 4's quote was a goodie - I find that I make decisions all the time & this confirms that I am 'qualified' to make them. I used the pic of Katya for Day 6 as her blowing dandilion heads across the play area indicates this freedom & exploration of the world around. Watching her reminds me of the beauty & wonder al...
