I have a new love… frozen water…

Oh my goodness... I have fallen in love with frozen water. It first started when I travelled to the US in 2009 and it snowed... and I was just soooo excited. Then a few years later I was captivated by the ice formations and expanses of white in Antarctica... The Shapeof Cold opened up a way of experiencing landscape I had never felt before. Then to Greenland... and I developed a deeper sense of wonder for the icebergs which calved of glaciers... frozen time. Then to my second journey to Antarctica where the icebergs had a more significant emotional effect for me. ... and now.... skiing in the snow.... and sitting on the edge of a forest in the silent snowstorm was just so magical... and the phenomenon of it snowing in a space void of all sound was just captivating and breathtaking. I love frozen water.... and I have only realised just today that the subject matter for my first photographic exhibitions were water..... and now they too are of water but in a frozen form... and both have provided such mystery and magic for not only my photographs but personally as well.   I hope to continue to experience this incredible world of frozen water... in ice... and snow... and cold!!!

What I heard whilst watching this ice waterfall…..

Sometimes it is good to stop and take a few moments to see and experience more than just what appears on the surface - no matter how it first appears. Sometimes there is more wonder, movement and power beyond the surface.

Pause.. breathe.. dive deeply into living! Look and search for what is behind and beyond what you can just see glimpses of!

I heard this whilst watching the water in this amazing ice waterfall.

On the road… snow from Salt Lake City to Banff…

What a wonderful journey. I am in love with snow!!! To ski on... to play in... and to look at. Ice waterfalls.... snow mountains... moisture for the land in spring. I know it isn't much fun for those who live here in the slush... but I am finding the snow and cold just wonderful! It is -21 here today in Banff... with a maximum of -8... brrrrr... but I am rugged up and off to do another hike around this spectacular landscape. The ice waterfalls are magical. Pop to this link to a gallery to follow the road trip from Salt Lake to Banff in the snow!!

OMG… I am hooked on skiing… it is sooooo much fun!!!!

Well…. skiing is incredible!!! I am astounded at how amazing it is. I started with a lesson…learning how to clip my boots on to my skis… and then off we went… and I havent looked back…. just forward to where gravity takes me!   I have to say though it is a bit nerve wracking… learning to be “in control” all the time is the key… and time and focussing on my technique and awareness of what my body is doing is what my task is.   I followed Max on one run into the white fluffy stuff and he was yelling out “NOOOO” …. and when he got up he said he forgot I was following him and was trying to tell me to stay on the groomed bit. Mistake number one – leading me to the powder!!! OMG…. I stayed up and LOVED going through that white fluffy stuff on the shoulder of the run.   I have a VERY long way to go to say I am in the least bit competent …. but I am having the BEST time experiencing something new.   I also experienced something quite magical whilst it was snowing at Alta.

“..This is Living. This is pushing boundaries.” … my words published in ERA Book “Driving the Impossible” by Gerard Brown

"This is living. This is pushing boundaries".   Max read out a short paragraph on the first page of Gerard Brown's book from Peking to Paris... and I thought to myself.... "Hey, I know those words. I wrote them! hehehe. Gerard Brown used my words from my feedback form for the Peking to Paris as an introduction to Gerard's book; and hearing them read again made me realise how many things in my life I push boundaries with... and how many things in my life I can truly say "This is living."   I've realised that I DO push boundaries. I DO live to the fullest. I embrace everything I do with a full open heart with passion and a willingness to dive in and to really  'go there' wholeheartedly. I recognise that sometimes doing this has led me to seriously fall flat on my face; and probably where my greatest learning has been derived. I also recognise that my approach to living has enabled the most incredibly rich experiences and a wonderful life for which I receive so much Universal support; and after my recent trip to Bhutan, realise that perhaps 'karma' is organically manifesting in my life right now.   There is no way I can live without pushing boundaries. I can't let fear cripple me. I live and love wholeheartedly. Thank you Gerard for popping my words in the beginning of your fabulous book of our drive from Peking to Paris - which WAS extraordinary. I want to also be able to say for everythign I do that "This is pushing boundaries."  "This is living."

Qld summer ….Back home for 3 weeks and new adventures ahead!!

Qld summer... just wonderful! Cicadas. Dragonflies. Koels. Sweaty mountain walks with the afternoon sea breeze. Hot balmy days with the cricket and tennis.... skinny dipping in the pool ......the smell of freshly mown grass and the oils from the eucalypts in the hot long days.   I'm back home after an incredible journey to Bhutan... and

Walk to Mt Kosciuszko summit – highest point in Australia !

Absolutely incredible walking to the highest part of Australia to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko! The landscape was spectacular ! As was the wind !!! Check out the sound of the wind and how windy it was. I was nearly blown off the track several times!!! A most powerful land where I walked observing my own challenges with an increasing awareness of the bigger picture of time and what is far greater than the singular of just one person. A profound day .

Abseiling…. trusting in myself

Harness on..... helmet on.... gloves on.... rope on.... safety line OFF.... and all I needed to do now was to LEAN BACK! My heart was pounding and I felt like vomiting. My knee-caps were trembling and my legs felt like jelly!! I took a big breath. I asked myself what was I afraid of? Perhaps what I was doing went against....

In my weaving, colour is my travel journal.  

My on-the-road written journal from our travels driving our vintage car Penny, through India, Bhutan and Myanmar; with my Studio Journal ONE from this series; focussing on my journal for my current series of blankets - available now. 

It’s available by popping to my profile link.

  • I’m a weaver. What are these for? 

Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! 

Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty! 

Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use. 

Love it when I do that! 

Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way.

  • Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

Do what you love… 12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos.  I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal.  What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!)  Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well! #authenticlife #weaver #weaving #creativityeveryday #lovewhatyoudo

Here I’m offering 10 seconds of calm.

It seems like everything’s going crazy right now. Anxiety. Illness. Grief. Uncertainty.  

I’m craving quiet and connection. I can’t do things quickly any more. I choose to spend hours in my studio. The ritual of weaving and spinning. This helps me.  

It is not just about the finished pieces. It’s about connection and expression. 

I’m developing a deeper sense of gratitude using my experiences as a foundation for my handwoven blankets.  It’s healing.

If your feed has been feeling too loud and chaotic today, I hope this brings you a few moments of calm.

Do you seek out slow rituals in your daily life? Love for you to share. Comment to share with others or DM and I will reply to you personally. No automated bots!

There’s more calm and connection on my grid too!

This is the plan Stan!  Pro-tip… remember you don’t have to have a plan! I’m a weaver without a plan; only journeys and stories that I weave into stunning blankets.  Follow my weaving journeys and see more on my grid.  #weaver #badasswomen #protip #madebyhand #weaving
