so many friends.

so i found this little guy the other night as i walked back to my car from the libary at uni. I really love how beautiful this moth is. everyone always loves the butterflies but i think im sold on the moth..

I had a revelation today. I realised im not going to be living on the sunshine coast forever. It is so tempting to get caught up in making a lovely home, buying cute vintage things and collecting crap, but i know i am not called to live a life settled in the one area. I am called to be a nomad, a traveller, not settled.

This is hard, as i sometimes think of how lovely it would be to have a cute little house, with a handsome husband, where i read books, and explore thoughts and do all the creative things i want to do forever. But i know this is not what is planned for my life.

I know i have to live a hard sometimes uncomfortable life, to see change in this world, and hope restored.. and maybe one day i can settle down..

but for now i must focus and learn, enjoy where i at.. but not be settled.. not be content.. never give in to what the world tells me i need.

for now i have my moth..

on my desk..

i should just aim to do this thurs as its the day i have internet access..

anyway.. today. on my desk.. i my flights to melbourne.. i snabbed these a few weeks ago.. but getting excited this week. uni semester is nearly over which means i can do more fun things like craft.. and dinner parties instead of late nights at the uni.

4 weeks and i will fly fly away..

also.. my textbook for pacific security.. great book for anyone interested to learn the history of terror, and that its not just an islamic fundamentalist idea.

on my desk players

hoot hoot..

1. Mr. Owl's Haunted Castle, 2. owl wip..., 3. Vacation Owl - nice texture, 4. three wise owls, 5. Hedwig, 6. papercraft owls

i am loving owls

friday funn

I found this little friend after work on friday.. i was walking to my car.. and gonna pick a flower.. and found this little guy sitting on the stem.. how beautiful

a little surprise

so i walked into the lecture room and was heading down to where i usually sit and what do i find but some little friends waiting,.. six to be exact.. it was such a beautiful thing someone left behind.. i wanted to leave it for the next class.. but morgan wanted to keep it..

thats right.. i had another little friend join me in my lecture today.. i have never had a friend join my class before and i have always wanted to share this experience.. so thanks morgan for being great..

also thanks to whoever left their friends behind.. it made my day..

also nearly finished my empowering women essay.. so tired cant wait to head home and just rest..

fire-y weekend..

The fire action won again..

i had fun//

on my desk..

amazingly i made it for wednesday..

today i am at uni.. just finishing off a paper, with only a little bit of procrastination..
but the best thing today on my desk is a coffee with banana lollies. i love these babies.. they are my favourite candy ever..
also got my organic saltanas.. so much better than regular ones.. yumm yumm

on my desk original..

how time has flown

so.. i was just sitting here, looking through pictures on my laptop.. and i came across this beauty..

this is my sister and youngest nephew joshua.. who is now 1 1/2yrs..

This picture makes me smile lots..

when my first nephew was born sarah learnt that if she stroked the nose of the babies they would relax and fall asleep.. ever since she has been doing it and it works a treat but what i love is that its an aunty sarah thing. only she does it (well me occationally) and to me it opitomises her relationship with the boys.. She is so caring, relaxing and loving. I often wish i could be more like her...

Its also kinda scary how big joshie is now.. he has grown up so fast, i love it and hate it at the same time.

anyway just wanted to share my smile with you..

on my desk begins..

late already..

but its hard to be an avid blogger when you dont have the internet at home.. but enough complaining.. im here..

so for those who dont know.. there is a whole swag of bloggers who are super crafty who do a weekly blog on what is 'on their desks'.. ive been following a number of others [a, b, c] and decided it would be much more fun if i got in on the action too.. so here i go.. on my desk begins..

this week ive been focusing on my taliban paper and loving it.. although getting distracted by friends a bit too much.. ive also been slowly working through my list of things to do in my little super book.. and fixing broken stuff. like my necklace holder..

I am also the unsure owner of a pair of reading glasses.. the newest addition to my desk..

you can check out the other players here..

change..

I am a creature of habit.

I was shocked when i went into the bathroom at work and the toilet looked like this.

I use the same toilet everyday. I didn't know what to do.. I wasn't sure if it meant i couldn't use it.. or if it was just cause the floor had been moped.

I ended up using a different one, but it made me laugh that i get so used to doing the same things, that a bit of change threw me off..

weird huh.

new beginings

so.. i moved house last week.
its been a fun little change. the thing i like the most is i dont waste time as much. this is due to three things...

one: i dont have internet. i used to spend/waste alot of time on the net.

two: i dont watch television. this is cause other people are watching crap on tv or i just dont feel like it and do something else instead.

three: i understand that my time i precious and i want to make the most of it.

I am loving this. The other day before i went to uni at 12pm, i made breakfast lunch and dinner, cleaned my room, washed my sheets and clothes, walked to the shops and did a grocery shop, and read a chapter of my text book. I was so proud.

I am also surounding myself with creative folk at the moment. Not intentionally, just the only people that seem to have stuck around in my life. I had a fun ole night last night with morgan. I made yummy veggie stacks with like 7 differnt veggies. Then we started our collages. I am doing mine from Jude 1:2b. It goes..

'Relax, everything's going to be all right; rest, everything's coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way!'

When i read this the other night i was so excited. It was so timely, and much needed. Will post results soon.. and photos of my new creative haven soon..
