Boonah Weekend

The third (and last) Boonah retreat for the year was good fun.  Lots of sewing...

and talking and laughing and eating, and a little of this as well...

At one stage, WE were the observed...

Shoe Shopping

I'm in the market for hiking shoes...one shop has a spot to test out rough terrain.

I think I could manage this "mountain".

Home Is Where the Art Is...

...painted on the footpath in South Brisbane.

Electrical Art

The art on these boxes is being painted over and new art is being created - so I'm glad I'm taking photos of the ones that appeal - they may not be there the next time I'm in the area.

The Bounty of Nature

Not long ago there was only one plant here - now divided and replanted they line up along the garden bed.

We Are All Artists

I visited the loos at the Queensland Art Gallery a few weeks ago to find that a budding artist had added her own touch to a Spanish masterpiece.

Luckily it was just a print behind glass.

City Art

I do love working in town.  My job takes me to different offices and different parts of the city.  The other day I spotted these neatly ordered industrial style stools

and a painting with a nod to Matisse

Stitching

I'm playing with a shibori style of discharge dyeing - these are the before pieces.  It's amazing how much you can get done while watching TV or chatting to people at the Quilt Show.

Me...Again

A quick hello to say I'm back in blogland.  I've been um-ing and ah-ing for a little while, thinking Deep Thoughts about whether I should blog again.  The bottom line is that I've missed it.  I've missed recording the big and (mostly) little things that happen to me, that amuse me, that interest me.  It's all too easy to forget.  This is to remember.
