A bit of sunshine


We've been away on holiday! We had a little trip to Tweed heads which was just what the doctor ordered, a bit of sun, a bit of a relax and a wedding celebration to top of a great family getaway (congratulations to the Phong and Bec!). We had all been sick with one bug or another for months (Blair's even ended up with a bit of pneumonia) but after a few days in the sun (and some antibiotics) we were all on the mend and in much better spirits. Bring on the warmer weather in Melbourne! (knowing me I'll be complaining in no-time that it is too hot!)

A beautiful kiss

Swiss Miss and Oma
I think this the most beautiful moment between the Swiss Miss and her Great Oma, it warms my heart every time I look at it. Captured by Uncle Gunar - simply lovely.

One of the things which slows down my creative process is documentation. I think it is a very important part of creativity, being able to look back at what you've done and learn from it, keep track of projects and share them with others or feel a sense of accomplishment. But, actually getting off my behind and capturing images is a different story altogether and more often then not it becomes a rushed after-thought! Sometimes when I've made a gift it sits around finished for a few weeks waiting to be photographed before I feel I can give it... bad, very bad.

I finally popped these wrist warmers in the post today - hurray! I modified this pattern in a purple cashmere/wool blend - mmm, cashmere-licious!
