oh i've missed coming here - life has been busy and full and really busy! i always forget about my blog in the midst of all the crazy. but here i am! just back from bali and still floating on the high from sharing such a magical week there with amazing women from around the world. re-entry has been easier this time due to the fact that it is not winter! autumn is my favourite time of year here, it is so homey and lovely. we have had a teenage girl living with us for the past few months from perth, here on a sort-of exchange...i have known her since she was a baby and it has been really fun showing her all around and seeing her experience all the funny american things (a squirrel! look at the size of this pizza!) for the first time. i'm feeling inspired creatively in so many ways and have been loving my studio space to spread out in and start preparing for all the holiday craft fairs i have coming up in the next few months...making things makes me happy! and i am determined to learn how to knit a hat this winter. the air is getting crisp and cool and i do get a bit scared of what is coming weather-wise...but for now we are still enjoying sunny days and bare feet on occasion!
if you have seen the recent issue of taproot magazine *MEND*, you may have spotted my 'put a patch on it' article - i was honred and excited to contribute for the first tiem to such a beautiful publication. i have been a subscriber from the beginning and it is a beautiful independant magazine that my whole family enjoys - ivy got inspired by katrina rodabaugh's mendfullness article and did the above to her jeans (love!)
sending you lots of love today, i'm hoping to be back here more reguarly as the months get colder and force me indoors xo
