While sitting at the work desk and day dreaming. I would love to dream to go to Canada. Iain and I love all the mountains, trees, bear etc etc. It's a beautiful country has too much to share. People always talk about the animals, the snow and the nature of this country but I've never heard of Canadian food. When I did a search on Lonely Planet today it said " Canada is a local food smorgasbord. If you grazed from east to west across the country, you’d fill your plate like this: lobster with a dab of melted butter in the Atlantic provinces, poutine (golden fries soaked in gravy and cheese curds) in Québec, a bulging slice of berry pie in the Prairies and wild salmon and velvety scallops in British Columbia (BC)." 

Oh well... sounds good to me!

SCULPTURE BY THE SEA EXHIBITION DATES: 18 OCTOBER – 4 NOVEMBER 2012

Sadly...

I just realized some of my favorite Sydney artists has to close down or limited their crafty business because they have to go back to the full time workforce.... it's such a hard and painful decision. How many of us have dream to be our own boss and do what we like for a living? But the reality is family and standard of living always come first. I have been working full time and running the business since uni, it's hard and sometimes I feel so trapped but at the end of the day, you've got to pay the bills. So now instead of complain about it, I see Creative Lane and my designs business as an outlet to free myself (my creative brain) from my full time job. I remember once my boss said to me, "it's good you have something to do outside work, you have something to hold on to, otherwise what's the point of living?"
I wish my creative friends all the best.
