and so

... the second semester of 2011 really begins for me tomorrow. Time to channel all my energy into this final semester of my Design degree, get a little more arty-farty and drink loads of tea.
Not unlike the image below.
{arty heart}

it shan't be long

... until my life is packed into a suitcase and the world becomes my oyster, travel - a friendly companion.
Soon.
Where will I meet you?

{a restless heart}

resonance?

I'm not sure of the significance of feeling like this song resonates with me right now, but I do love it.
I feel like I can get lost not only in the melody, but in the story. Maybe it's because I wish I could sing like these ladies.
It's so beautiful.

Find them here... and ponder these lyrics.


Even Though I'm A Woman - Seeker Lover Keeper

Woah I
I got a secret
I think I’m in love with missing you
More than I’m in love with you
That’s why I go away all the time
That’s why I travel the world and roam free
There’s a time you leaving me
This is how I feel
I feel like a traveling salesman

Even though I’m a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I’ll be lying if I did not say
I love you more and I’m missing you
That’s why I’m always away
Believe me it’s true

Woah I
I got a secret
I think I was born to be in a state of longing
Born to be wanting wanting
I put in a letter for you
I love the danger in distance
This time I’m leaving you
This is how I feel
I feel like a traveling salesman

Even though I’m a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I’ll be lying if I did not say
I love you more and I’m missing you
It’s why I’m always away
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true

I love the danger in distance
I’d rather be missing you
I love the danger in distance
I’d rather be missing you
I feel like a traveling salesman

Even though I’m a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I’ll be lying if I did not say
I love you more and I’m missing you
It’s why I’m always away
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true

fight the hard fight

Sometimes you need to focus on yourself
and forget the rest of the world.

Hope your day has been a victorious one.

feel like a travelling salesman...

An album to soothe the soul.
Tune into the wonders of Sally Seltman, Sarah Blasko & Holly Throsby's super-group Seeker Lover Keeper.
It's beautiful. And just what I need right now.

It's also MY SOUND OF NOW.

sometimes

... we all need a little reminder.

Amen.

on top

... of just about everything. Well, everything is an ambition for this weekend.
A couple of days off before uni resumes and I have some important design to do and sunshine by the river to soak up. Stroll sister?

What are your weekend plans?
A positive? I'm on top of my washing (now we all know what a good feeling that is!)... but I do wish my washing machine was as cool as this. Then I'd be up to date all the time... I'm sure ;P

Happy Friday y'all!

well wished

I once read that there is 'no such thing as powerful as the intensity of a child's wish'... and in my www. travels this evening I came across the most gorgeous wish list created by one half of a blogging pair I follow, when he was a wee one.
It's bound to make you smile, if not chuckle a little aswell.
Sweet isn't it?

You can check out this lovely pairs blog just here.

my sound of right now

g'day

Well, what I really mean to say is 'good day' - as that is exactly what today has been.
A 10 hour work day, a walk to Racecourse Road, a Tarot reading (with a positive and promising future - grain of salt of course, but gotta love that), a relaxing evening at home, finishing the day with a little housekeeping before a novel in bed.

Nana? I think not.
Content - more than I have felt in quite some time.
Positive. Heck yes.
Why? Why not.

Second semester (and my last semester) begins next week - so life will be jam-packed from there on for the next six months study wise. Scary and exciting all at once. It's about time I've got to this point.

What has your Tuesday consisted of?
I do hope it was a happy one.
Here's to bright futures all 'round huh?
P.S. Did I tell you how much I love roast pumpkin?
M-m-mmmm!

to the stars

This is the front of the Baptism invite I designed for my little Godson, Jupiter.
Here, Little Boy Blue heralds the arrival of the wee one and announces to those nearest and dearest the particulars of such a special event.

Family, love.

mobilised

Khaki, crimson, spots, fur, leather, tan, black, aviators and attitude to boot.
I want this look... a trip somewhere really cold perhaps?

road less travelled?

Delightful, isn't it?
Thanks Michi.

Find all her weird and wonderful finds here. She'll even email you all week, and forcast the weather for you Melbournians. Ah, convenience.

weather report

Thanks to Michi Girl, it's more than likely 'cloudy with a chance of unicorns'.
Don't you just love fashion that has a story to tell?

in transition

It's been while now hasn't it? So much has happened in the last couple of months, but more so in the last two weeks. Janey has a new job, her sister is home from NSW (recovering from a tonsilectomy) and I am OFFICIALLY a Godmum to baby, Jupiter Winston Butler Castro. Yes, he has arrived. Only a few short weeks until I meet the wee one and more of the Castro family at his Baptism in early August.
What a celebration that will be!

It's an odd time as far as my blog goes... my spare time hasn't been so much of late and I like to delve right into my blog entries or be more 'in the moment' (a-la-on-the-computer-all-day-kind-of-inspired) and I guess my focus has been elsewhere.

I've begun working at Suite Commuter Coffee and have more freelance booked in for the end of the month and on-going weeks. I was talking to my Aunty (who is a fabulous Copywriter - wordshop.com.au) at how comfortable you can get, regardless of happiness when you don't have to change... and when change is thrust upon, no options available, how life seems to change for the better. I think I have been needing a change for quite some time, and I'm ready for this new challenge.

My last semester and the world shall again, be my oyster.

How do you feel at this point in your life?
I feel more refreshed than anything I guess. I feel like I'm taking on more purposeful roles and my creative career is budding nicely.

Forgive me if I'm a little flighty, here and there, but I promise some excitement and interesting posts soon.

I'm in transit.

Loving it.

And I'm here.

So let's paint the world with colour.
