Book

A friend of mine won a grant to make a book about Tasmanian writers and crafters. I have been fortunate enough to be included as a crafter (which goes to show, it's better to have connections then talent, wink!). I have excitedly sent off my submission and am eagerly awaiting seeing the next step. I was less thrilled about having to send in a portrait to go with my bio, so for a bit of emersion therapy I thought I'd post a portrait here too. It actually wasn't that long ago I posted a photo of myself, but I still feel freaked out by the whole process, there is something I quite like about the anonymity of blogging. I'm looking forward to sharing more about this project with you, it is a dream of mine to deign my own book, so I am super excited for Kelly - it's going to be wonderful!

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Hobart anymore!

I owe much to my wonderful family. We were given so much help with our move across the straight for which I will be eternally grateful. Above is a picture of one of the trailer-loads about to make it's way up to Devonport to then be transferred to a truck to bring our stuff over on the ferry. Through the support of my family we've been able; to move on the smell of an oily rag, our house in Hobart has been thoroughly cleaned (and is now rented out! hurray!) and the unpacking at this end has been a breeze. I certainly would not recommend anyone attempt moving while 8+ moths pregnant with toddler in tow, but if you must, make sure you accept all the help offered!

We've been learning many things since arriving in our new home. For example rush-hour is much longer then an hour! I think it will take time, but this house will be come a home and this city is full of possibilities.

I've missed you

Hello friends! I've missed you dearly.

I'm just popping in to let you know I'm still kicking! We've moved to Melbourne safely and with very little getting broken in the process, have had a little boy turn 2, still have a lovely little girl growing happily inside, finally have internet and are very much looking forward to rejoining the world after finding our bearings.

I'll be back soon to fill you in on all the goss.

Love to you and yours
