A mixed bag...

It's been a week of high and lows - bit of a mixed bag.

I'd like to thank the small group that braved the elements on Thursday night to attend the third Talk.

I didn't have my loyal side kick to do her modeling thing (she'd got a better offer) however Stella stepped into the breach and modeled her new REinvented coat showing she can more than hold her own in front of a crowd. I don't have a photo of the moment because Dan was too busy listening - after 20yrs why he'd choose that moment is beyond me!

It's always lovely to see my loyal RE-inventors in the crowd especially when they're wearing one of their REcreations, 'cause I can always use a prop

(Neroli wearing her Jumper Wrap from w'shop 2yrs ago & me explaining how she did it)

and I don't mind a photo opportunity!

The response to the article in the paper was disappointing so I was thinking night packing at Coles would be a welcome change. The thought was fleeting because it turns out there are more people that think what I do is worthwhile than those that think they can't be bothered - know what I mean?!
So I'll soldier on....

Stella has been unwell & off school all this week.
The novelty of lazing around at home eating Jelly & stewed apples for breakfast wore off about Thursday so before I headed off to class I gave her some projects, one was to write a short story starting
"When I woke up the sky was purple"
this is what she came up with....


My Grannie, who has been unwell and was recently hospitalised with a mild heart attack and pneumonia, bounced back to celebrate her 98th birthday!
She's another remarkable Leo - probably my favourite!
