No Kidding, again..

As a few of you would have read on Facebook, Sam has been in hospital with a blood infection. The initial worry was that it would affect the transplant but that's not the case, thank the Goddess.

He is now home but facing a few more tests this week. I am finished until the week before the operation.

Our schedule is two days in Melbourne the week prior to the operations, fly home for the weekend and back out on the Monday for the big event on Tuesday 22 June.

All going well I will be in hospital for 3 - 4 days, into our apartment (near the Royal) and home by day 10. I will be "cared for" in the apartment by my gorgeous friend Fiona who will then fly home with me to Hobart. She is not sure about the broomstick ride , lol. Trustier than some of airlines though;)

Sam stays on at the apartment for at least a month (with his Father and I am sure lots of Aunties) as he requires daily blood tests at the Hospital.

I saw a notation on our calendar last week, saying "13 more"?? He tells me now that it means only 13 more dialysis sessions.

Until the next update, thanks for being interested.

Tasmanian Antique Journey


Pictured here is a beautifully crafted cabinet which has a special spot in my home studio.

When we were living in Melbourne my husband (a Tasmanian) and I purchased it in Richmond, about 10 years ago. Discovered that it was made in Tasmania! Now it is back.

A Witch lives here


A bewitching addition to my beautiful home. A besom (altar broomstick) crafted by my wonderful friend, Leona, in pride of place at our front door.

Leona has crafted this made this entire piece and decorated with organically grown lavender and fairy crystals.

The Witch's Work Space








Finally after too much procrastination, which (witch) is a word I am deleting from my vocabulary, are pictures of my gorgeous home studio in Tasmania.

Just hope this Witch can work out how to add. Mmmm, might have to consult Fabulous Frau..
