Momentous Decisions Made

It has been something Jacky and I have thought so very long and hard about...
You have something that you have created, you know it could be made bigger and better, but you start at the beginning and try to work your way to your goal...
But sometimes, something steps in your way and says 'I can do better' and so, against every instinct, you hand over your baby.
There is such regret and sadness, a feeling of sickness in the pit of your stomach and tears in your eyes. You know that, given the chance this could have been something wonderful...
The memories that have been made, the people you have met, the friendships forged.. is that all gone now? Oh, you know all the mistakes you have made, the things that could have been done differently, better.
But, you never forget, YOU DID IT!


Someone may come along who can do it better, but we were always FIRST!


And so,

You face reality....


You pick yourself up....


Dust yourself off....


Surround yourself with those who love you most...


And forge on ahead to...


BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS

To all those who have supported us, shared in some amazing memories with us and been genuine, loyal friends...


THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU!!!! WE LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.

THIS IS JUST A FORK IN THE ROAD OF OUR LIFE. OUR PRIORITIES WILL CHANGE, OUR PATHS WILL BE ALTERED BUT WE WILL KEEP GOING...

WE WILL BE SAD, GOODBYES ARE ALWAYS SO SAD.

Dwellingup Retreat 2009

Our Dwellingup retreat is now available for viewing online and bookings can be made. We are already half full, so if it is something you would like to do, please do not delay. Here are a couple of sample pics.

This week heralds some new beginnings (caution - below is some language that may not be suitable for tender minds!)

Jacky and I have decided we will arm ourselves with a 'Fuck 'em all' attitude.

We are sick and tired with all the mind games, bitchiness and insenstivity that often abounds in many craft areas. The little 'clicky' groups that believe themselves above we mere mortals. From here on in we will look after ourselves first and foremost to ensure that we are able to offer the best of ourselves to our customers, friends and families. No longer will we allow the shallow attitudes of others to get us down.

This week is a new beginning for me as it is the end of a huge amount of dental work and as of tomorrow I will smile proudly and brightly! Prepare to be dazzled, hee hee!

We are also venturing out to new and unknown areas of art, experimenting, playing and discovering awesome new techniques to share with you all. I am so excited and itching to get stuck in to it all.

2009 is to be our year of growth, and a whole new attitude. I do apologise to those who may think this is cold and hard, but we have found we need to arm ourselves in this way or be destroyed by others.

That is all for now! Next post...
new smiles...
new discoveries...
secret missions... (little cross country trip planned for this weekend, Melbourne here we come!)............
