This feels like a surreal dream typing here its been so long. So much has occured.. finally we moved.. a little house in the country and a new job that i'm happy about as I get to work with young people and the other staff are so so nice. But boy did that all take some effort, while still studying and now it's the new year 2012..  The best part of all of it I finally have a studio, a tiny room

I think its a part of life now i simply don't have the time to post as much as I would like. Its that time of the year of starting Uni and writing proposals and managing work and home. And when i do get on here I spend more time looking at what you guys are getting up too... Last semester I wasn't happy with my work so I didnt post any pictures, but I have a better feeling this semester... so

Happy New Year Everyone! ... I do hope 2011 is far better for everyone. Wow is time speeding up or is it a case that i'm getting slower, hence older. Don't feel a day older 25... anyway.... Work and school takes up way too much of my time.. so some things that have occured since my last blog... My youngest had a 19th Birthday party, we all went bowling. We all had a great time. hmmmm.. ah yes

I have blooging shame, it's been so long since I've blogged - I'll need a 10 step program if i keep up this neglect. Great news - Cimo has arrived, its been a whirlwind, he has been here for two weeks, and luckily got the first job he applied for. Its not always that easy to get a job here.. so we consider ourselves blessed. Listening to his observations of Australia is really interesting..

Hi everyone, hope everyone is keeping well, its so cold here at the moment i spend most of the time complaining about the cold while trying to keep warm;  and dreaming of warmer climates.... mmm.. gold coast...  One friend called it 'palm tree porn'..lol... Had the most awesome news yesterday evening that Cimo and i have been waiting on for years. He has been granted his Spousal Visa... so he

I have been quickly scanning your blogs very quickly the last couple of weeks, but just no time to blog or respond. The new job has been exhausting,  my Dad came up for a flying visit, but currently I am assisting in a Master class for the distant students at our Uni. I am so so tired.. but loving every second, meeting all these great ceramics people from all over the world.  The images above

Well been flat out again... story of my life... but better to be busy than bored. I have been moved in my job, which has been a good thing so very little time to even peek at blogs... trust me i'm having withdrawals. So without further  wait.. So Sorry for it.. here are some pics of the last exhibition from the Marsden Art Group... the theme was 'Suburban Edge'. It was a narrow room so good

Exciting and Over due news, we have a decision that has just came back from the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) and they have over turned the previous immigration decision. Cimo should have a visa soon... watch this space for futher updates... We are over the moon, and hope no more glitches or delays occur...and hope he will be swimming in our fish bowl soon....

Earlier in the semester if you cast your mind back we made up our own clay bodies for test pieces for the soda kiln.  I do repeat test pieces... no works of art here. Its purely just to see how the glaze reacts to different shapes. So here is the kiln ready to be unpacked, at this stage I was thinking 'ohhh thats a bit gray.. ' i was also thinking "yuk"... but as we unpacked there were little

I certainly have not managed to solve one of the most challenging questions of our time " Where is the time going?"  School has been great, but does eat up more of my precious time. it's worth it in the end. Currently on 2 weeks break but have so much homework to do. In the early weeks of the semester we were taught by Gail Nicholas, who introduced us to soda firing. We also got a presentation

Please welcome Mrs. TReasurfield, Tristan, B.B Flocking and Battina. Your all amazing artists in your own right and we feel privildged you have joined this eclectic blog of madness and fun.

Opening night was last night, finally..... I couldn't attend, but Yaz my daughter represented both of us. It was her first exhibition, I shared my allocated 75cm metre of wall with her. I hung it the previous evening and thought it looked ok, intermingling my ink pictures with her photography. I  of course asked Yaz a million questions about the night, and she said 'Everyone was looking at our

Hey everyone, such an intense week, looks like this is turning into a weekly blog, as time just won't allow me to blog as much as I'd like to, though I do steal a few minutes a way during each day to visit your blogs. Just not enough time to actually say something intelligent on ours. Unless it was venting, about how annoying work is, but I need to be grateful I have a good job. Enough of that,

The Built Environment is my project in my ceramics class.. we have to choose a built environment that influences us and create 5 objects. which brings my curiosity to my fabo bloggers.. whats your favourite, building or built environment? Why does it stand out? Is it your current home? a place you have visited, or want to visit? mythical?  I have been pondering this for quite a few days, and as

Another week of fighting exhaustion every step of the way... so i'm going to have a doona day....well that was the plan.. but now I'll be running around on errands. Not fun.. but at least I have a public holiday on Monday.. so needed..  The bit I hate about been so tired is how grumpy I get... any one got any great advice how to deal with inner grumpiness? Oh don't these look inviting...

Saturday just flew by, quick convo with my good friend Melanie this morning, while waiting for Cimo, then cleaned, washed,cooked and ironed my little heart out. If you have time go check out her place its pretty awesome, and like most women she loves bags... but Melanie well she makes them too... Clever lady... Not the most exciting day, but the cleaning was over due. I'm just grateful I don't

A very intense week on so many levels... Work.. exhibition.. life dosen't stop for a second... I started night school last night, and i go back again tonight for some more punishment. Oh but it is such joy to do something that I love and not that gruelling stuff during the day.. like my latest project coordinating Parliamentary Budget Statements.. oh the joys....

Well here is a sneak peek of the invitation for the next exhibiton. Of course your all welcome to attend, but realise that some are a little far away. Ill try to take pics of opening night for those who can't attend.

 Darlene one of my amazing blogger firends from Canada... placed some pictures on her blog of a building of her college. I saw some  similarities, and I mentioned it to her, as i drive past it alot but never actually visited it. So Here are some pics from Ryan Wic who has a couple of great shots on his flikr page.

As a few of you asked you keep you informed of what i titled this picture. I was in two minds and  i finally decided to name it after my past friend 'Morrell'. He was an awesome cat that came along into our lives in a not so great time. We actually rescued him from some feral owners, via some caring neighbourhood children. We lived there exactly a year, i moved in the day of my fathers birthday
