I ♥ GOMA

Today I met Bec and Caitie for a wonderful morning of bliss at Southbank. We had a wander around GOMA and took in the delights of the current exhibitions. It was such a calming and relaxing experience that gave such a sense of self serenity. The exhibition From Here to Ear by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot was so beautiful! We had such fun constructing things for The Cubic Structural Evolution Project 2004 exhibit (by Olafur Eliasson) and will for ever remember our day with a memento from the Wish Your Wish 2003 exhibit. So below are my photos for PAD from the last couple of days - with a few extras from today.

Work in Progress...

Well this last week I have finally got around to starting one of the goals I made at the beginning of the year and here is a sneak peek... This latest project of mine is being made with much love for my nephew Wolfie.

Also last week I went with my best friend Jane up to Bundaberg. This was a very quick trip, but we had such an amazing time and it was so wonderful to be able to have many special moments together. When we were in high school we both loved Missy Higgins and this has continued to now. When in uni her album, On A Clear Night, was so relevant. The song Sugarcane was particularly special for Jane and I. It represented everything we were experiencing at the time -finding ourselves, pleasing others, growing up, hiding from our fears. I remember, when we graduated we wanted to give each other a sugarcane plant as a gift. When I went to the local nursery the woman just laughed when I asked to buy one. She said if I wanted a sugarcane plant I needed to head up north to Bundy and dig one up from a plantation. We settled for a hibiscus plant instead. But one day. One day we would be able to share the significance of a sugarcane plant. And that one day came last week. As we headed further and further north the plantations began and soon we were immersed in sugarcane country. This is how we celebrated...

I have been trying my best at keeping up my PAD photos... But I must confess I have been a bit slack of late. Below are the photos for the days I've remembered to snap.

February 24th
My purchases from Ikea assembled in my room at the school. Finally a place for my tea and photos of my little ones.

The long drive up to Bundaberg... have never seen the sat-nav show so many Kms before.

While in Bundaberg I was able to tick off one of my life dreams... We saw baby turtles hatch on the beach at night. Absolutely amazing and so beautiful.

The final tally once arriving home from Bundaberg - one of the longest drives I have ever done!

March 9th
Went for breakky in New Farm and thought it was funny walking back to my car to find another 2 black mercs parked beside me.

March 10th

Snuggle time with a poorly Miss C... sniffles are not fun for little ones, but it certainly makes them more cuddly ☺

So that is all for now. Will try and do some scrapping soon and share my creativity with you all.
