okay, it's gone. all gone. everything.
i'll say it one more time - I'VE LOST THE LOT.
boo hoo.
poor me.
suck it in. move on.
when kylie from mizu designs did a post recently about the theft of her computer & camera & then was immediately back posting as if nothing had happened i thought ... my god, what a woman, how can she be so calm and dignified when she's lost everything like this?? i was so impressed. i would be a blubbering wreck for the rest of my life if anything like that ever happened to me.
well, i howled and wept .. though for a surprisingly short time, i couldn't help but notice.
and now ... well, what else can you do except move on? my Mac geek tried extensive resuscitation for two long weeks, kept me full of hope. but in the end .. well ... not a happy resolution.
goodbye my precious things. i miss you. i want you back. [design] life will not be the same without you.
boo bloody hoo.
i made something beautiful today that gave me great joy.
starting again.

meltdown
it's been one of those grey still days in sydney. just cold enough to fool yourself that winter really is a fabulous time of year.
i've been without a computer for nearly a week. both liberating .. and seriously disturbing. my hard drive died. no backup. yup, saw it coming, didn't act fast enough. still i live in hope. i have a new computer. i still haven't been able to rescue my years and years of stuff on my old mac. but i live in hope.
i do love these grey still days, they make me feel calm.
recently i had the pleasure of "meeting' marichelle from
hearthandmade. she's a passionate design afficionado and recent escapee from corporate life in New York. her blog is beautiful. not only does she find amazing stuff but her site has a strong aesthetic appeal - very slick but with lovely personal touches like the faux handwriting, very cute. she did the most amazing number on one of my cushions in a section she calls heart lab where she attempts to dissect the art of the handmade.
it's such a clever idea. do check her out.
