June already where is the year going so fast?

Well only one more week until holidays. Yeah. But I have to get 2 assignments finished and 3 mounted and all my work handed in for assessment on friday.
A few late nights and bleary eyes ahead for me.
We had a wonderful weekend in june in melbourne, visited Heide Contemporary Art Gallery, the Art Centre craft market, had a yarra river cruise, visited IKEA finally, got my things i wanted. Had dinner in Lygon St Carlton, it was a lovely weekend.
We are enjoying a very bitterly cold day today. It must be snowing somewhere .
Back to more homework for now

April busy busy busy

Hi
We have been busy for April , I went to Melbourne for 3 days for a conference AGideas. Design conference at the art centre. It was very inspirational . Theme of Pulling a Rabbit out of a hat.
Which as a mother and parent we do quite regularly to get by.
As it was school holidays the boys and Pete came to Melb with me, we stayed in a nice 2 bedroom apartment on St Kilda Rd, only 3 tram stops from art centre.
We had a nice easter at Mt Beauty and caught up with a friend who I went to kinder and primary school with, it was really nice to catch up again.
This week we have had a quiet week, i have managed to do a bit of homework,
hoping to get some more finished by tuesday.
Happy Easter
