Few pictures from Australian countryside. It's getting cold at nights, but still we have some sunny days.

Inspiring March

Design blog Poppytalk, one of my favourites, has published a lookbook for March (not just "March", but "Mad March"!). It's showcasing their favourite handmade articles from new emerging designers and artists. You can take a look at the lookbook here.

Tsunami's art. Devastating. Cruel. Indescribable.

What if...

I sometimes wake up at night and listen to the ocean, wondering will tsunami come or not. After Japan's earthquake and an issued warning regarding Australia's shores (that was cancelled though) I'm not too confident. What if  it happens. What if the worst appears to be true.

I had a lovely visitor today - a wonderful lady in her 60ies with whom I could share my thoughts and doubts. In fact, she was the one that started the conversation about tsunami threats and evacuation plans. We calculated and shared our ideas where to hide or go. Just in case.

I hope it will never happen. But the tsunami thoughts emerge from the deep when I walk on the beach near our house. Like today. What if... Is it just a women's trait - to think about the worst? Or is it a true wisdom - calculate and think about details and different possibilities. I wonder...

Weekend

Notes from previous Sunday. 

Grass in a rain. 

Curious fish in a pond. 

Couple of white horses. 

I love weekends...

Wedding album, here i come

Finally, finally with autumn knocking on my door I feel like working on our wedding album. Yes, it's true, I haven't done one yet. What a shame. Actually, not. I'm very happy and know that this is the perfect season for it. Having discovered wonderful digital kits and colourful papers for making a perfect album I can't wait. At the moment, take a peek at Crate Paper's new collections that will arrive in my local scrapbooking store in two weeks (I asked them to call me when the papers arrive, so exciting!).

Fundraiser for Madagascar

I have a lovely friend Angelina who wants to go to Madagascar this July to help the poor and teach them how to feed themselves and succeed in life. Because Angelina makes jewellery she decided to organise a fundraiser for her trip. I offered to make some stationary that also would be up for sales and help Angelina to raise more support. Other friend Jasmine offered her broches up for sale, too.

On a beautiful Saturday night we had lots of girls turn up for the fundraiser. We had nibblies, lots of girly conversations and ... a success! Angelina got some support for her trip.

Thanks to everybody who turned up and chipped in towards such a great cause!
