….and here is just a sneak peak……

I have a new secret passion……….

Isn’t it wonderful? I didn’t have a wedding to shoot on the weekend- so I just went for it. I sewed until my machine literally ran out of thread for the first time since I got it for Christmas.

personal note….

Bushfires continue to burn across our beautiful state as the deathtoll rises and information on the property losses unfold before me I feel more and more upset. Kilmore is a town only 20 mins from where we live in Romsey and if the wind was blowing the other direction we may have ended up under threat from that devastating [...]
