I am a little in awe that I get to share what I love with you as my job and that it is appreciated in such an immediate way. A big thank you to all who keep me blossoming. I promise to continue to do the same for you whenever I can!

If you get it and love it, would you be a friend/ love/ awesome person and write a review on the site for me? Heck, if you have done any of my classes and loved them, leave a review on the Interweave website to encourage others to give it a go and get drawing!

The world would be a better place if more peeps connected to that inner-child in them that loved drawing! Anything each of us can do to bring that joy in others is time well spent.

It’s always been that way.

So I feel as if I earn my living by hanging out with my favourite people and creating things they love. I get to delight the most delicious human beings as my job.

Plus collaborating with my BFF and creative hero Teesha Moore, was a dream come true. But dreams don’t just ‘happen’… there is a whole lot of work that needs to go on to make the wonder come about. But if you LOVE that work, well, it’s all just a big ‘ol ball of awesome. My mother is a TOTAL workaholic, and I certainly inherited that personality trait, and she often says “exhaustion is exhilaration”.

Here’s my take on that:

On the back of the epic Mermaid Circus, I have a week away with the Brisbane Scrapbook Show and then straight on to the Sydney Craft Show. I have Stage talks and 10 workshops  – all mostly sold out and rapidly filling! (check here for available classes.)

If you are coming to the shows, make sure you cruise in and say ‘hi’ to Angus and I. At these big shows, Angus and I work about a foot away from each other and yet at the end of the day I feel like I have hardly seen him all day! Angus is in charge of the store and helping people with their art supply addictions, and I am answering questions, drawing and painting and chatting and laughing all day – I really do have a ball!

I run off to teach and talk on stage, come back, laugh and draw some more. Sometimes it is so super busy at my stand, I need to ask for your patience and you may need to come back when its quieter. I really like to concentrate on my conversations! Especially if it’s about my favourite topics of art journaling and art supplies. I am part mermaid, so I literally could speak underwater about them.

By the end of the show my brain does certainly get a bit tired, and I may speak in goobeldygook, but I don’t feel exhausted… you guessed it, i feel exhilarated. Exhilaration is that breeze in the face, warm bones feeling. You stand taller, radiate and feel strong to the core.

…. then it’s back home and straight into producing my next Workshop! The long promised Print and Scan… I have a lot of work before then, but I can’t wait!

This was an actual concrete fear of mine… I believed her for a looooong time.
But if the wind changed while I was making these faces, I wouldn’t mind being stuck like this:

This is some of the super-cool artwork I helped my Perth mini-workshop students with. I had sold out classes over 5 days – it was a whirl of paint, pencils, colour and fun! We used my stencils, so even the newest newbie could create joyfully.

I head off to Brisbane for the big Scrapbook Show – my classes there sold out instantly, but I am onstage each day and will be drawing and painting at my stand when I am not trying my darndest to get everyone on the planet waking up the creative giant that lies within each of us.

Then it’s off to Sydney for the Craft and Quilt Show. I have just put the booking space up for that here: http://www.instituteofcute.com/sydney-live-workshop/

I hope you come along and say hi!
