lists

Been awhile hasn't it? Don't get me wrong, I haven't been sleepin on the job, lollygagging or working on my groove on the couch. Today I figured out that I have been "unemployed" for nearly 2 months and I haven't been doing any of those things! I feel like I have a million things to do everyday. How is that possible? I look at my diary, and its a mess. It's like some small chicken has taken to it with a pen trying to recreate some sort of treasure map. I just don't get it. I know I have no one else to blame but myself for making these plans....

I have been in the studio quite a bit but still I feel unproductive. I started making some cacti again at that was fun. Gonna make some more tomorrow actually. Am off to melbs next week, this is what my schedule looks like...

. one more session on cacti for the One Small Room show

. one to two more sessions on the Ikebana show at Chill Flowers

. session for Colour Pots

. work on a commissioned job for some Bonsai

. Get new Pots

. Pot succulents and cacti

. work on grant proposal for group show

. submit entry for Wish List

. submit entry for SALA

. get photo for licence

. submit T2 paper work

Phew. Makes your head spin just thinking about it... here are the things I would like to be doing:

. sewing cool baby quilts

. going to the movies to see 'Snowtown'

. making soup dumplings (this is a biggie which will require 2 days...)

. eating soup dumplings

. taking photos

. keeping warm

. making $$ to pay my neverending jam bills

. drinking wine with friends

. bake a cake

. plan a wedding

I think you will agree both lists are quite long. Maybe when I get back from Melbs I will concentrate entirely on the things I want to do before I start full time work? Oh, and its also my Birthday on Saturday. I'm hoping for more photos like these to be made...
