This year so far at Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree


It's been a while since I've blogged properly but I think from now on you'll see regular posts from me. I had a little break from making jewellery in January. It was a busy month. Also a very fun month. I'm back into making jewellery again and also designing a few new things which I hope will be released soon.

This year so far:

Doing:

A glorious weekend with my family at White Sands Resort on the east coast
Friends from Germany visited us

Mona Foma - Grinderman, Neil Gaiman, Amanda Palmer (2x) - (her video of "Map of Tasmania"!)



School holidays activities with my boys (movies, beaches, bubble tea, parks, icecreams, bushwalks, cafes..)

A few days in Melbourne: spending time with family and friends, revisiting our old suburb and beach, cafes, bars, Big Day Out (Highlight - Rammstein!)


Single parenting for 2 weeks whilst huz was in Germany

Making videos. Did you see this?



Farewelling my boys off to school


Reading:
The House at Riverton by Kate Morton (awesome read)
American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Listening to:
Grinderman, Rammstein, Tool, Amanda Palmer, the Jezabels, Rob Zombie, Kate Bush, Cocoon, the Cruel Sea, Janes Addiction

Watching:

Buying:

I had the winning bid at an auction (flood relief appeal) on a gorgeous Lilly Piri original drawing. So lucky!

All the colours of the rainbow



I have had so many good intentions to blog and I will soon. Life just hasn't been giving me much of a break lately but soon..very soon; from next week in fact I'm going to have so many more free hours. Woo to the max!

Anyway, I took a few pics of some of my floral jewellery and thought I'd share.
