Adventurous Squirrels

The Woman in Pink by the Pine

FINALLY! My first lot of tiny people arrived today and I started adding finishing touches to one of my terrariums today including a mini pine tree I made. There is only one week before production week of the show I’m currently on so I wont be able to do too terrarium making for a while but I’m so excited!

Took 4 fish to a friend’s house to take care of for a few days.
Returned home with 6 fish… Hmm…

The other day I was props sourcing in an Op shop and found a bag containing Lego for $2 (which I couldn’t turn down!). Mixed amongst it were alphabet fridge magnets. After leaving a message for my boyfriend on his whiteboard I attempted to make a phrase on the fridge that made sense… 

You know you’re a stage manager when you accidentally refer to your body clock being out of whack as having a “Bad Sleep Schedule”.

Nothing like finishing a 34 page Technical Scene Breakdown with a Props Setting List on the side. My house inspection is now also complete with approval from the real estate.

It’s 10:30am and I’d say today has already been successful.

Today I found out that my boyfriend and I are known by the woman upstairs as “the cute indie couple who live downstairs that she can sometimes hear play piano”.

I think I’m happy with that description.

What my 10 year old sister and I created over the past 2 days.
It’s not finished but we’re pretty happy with what we have accomplished. We also made some cute terrariums. Include the fact we had pasta, home made pizza, chocolate, popcorn, vanilla coke and watched a heap of movies I’d say it was a successful sleep over!

So I made a tree…

For the past few days I’ve been sick in bed with the flu feeling terrible and spending most of my time in bed sleeping and searching for little figures for my terrariums. I then fell head first into delightful little model railway scenes. Today finally starting to feel a bit better and being alone in the house I decided to put my new knowledge to the test and made a tree!

Please remember that it is okay to take the time to learn and grow. Everyday you are learning, growing and changing. There are times when you are still figuring out who you are and your place in the world. That is okay.
You’ve come such a long way, don’t stop now. Just keep taking steps towards what you your heart feels as right and it will come true, or you will find another (better) path along the way. Don’t worry about mistakes or how long something takes to achieve or compare yourself against others. Just enjoy the now. I give you permission to be relaxed and a beautiful, amazing, confident, happy, awesome person no matter what the situation. You can cry, but do not worry.

While it can be hard to see the top of the mountain from halfway up, you are closer than you think and some of the best flowers grow here. Stop, smell them and take photographs.You’re only 21. You don’t have to have all your life together. And if anyone gives you a hard time you’ll have photographic evidence that you are experiencing life. When you get to the top you can look back on it all. Right now experience it and enjoy the climb.

I had a lovely walk today and took some photos of some Kangaroo paw

Today I got remarkably excited about the growth of moss. Crazy, I know, but true. When I made a terrarium for mum I also created a moss terrarium in a light bulb I hollowed out (not very well mind  you, it’s a little broken at the top). The moss is from the carport, but since being in the terrarium it’s tripled in length! While it’s only millimetres, it’s wonderful how beautifully it has settled in. So today I made two more (The two on the right in the second picture). Hopefully they grow just as well!

 I can’t wait to find the perfect little figurine to be on the mini grassy field, but that may take a while. In the meantime I can just admire the lovely green on the windowsill.

Finally got around to mastering risotto.
Life can only continue to get better from here.
