Speaking of NOTHING turned into SOMETHING. Have you seen Seth's latest posting? I'm sure you all have, but if you haven't, I'm linking you to it here. (But don't go yet - you've got to read the rest of this very important blog posting!). Anyway...Seth's treasured find is called "Nobody Here" (which will be me next week, btw).
You'll note, above, that I got lost in the toes department...
it was very disturbing...
Now, I know I was going to do my 7 inspirational bloggers/artists' listing this week, but I haven't the time. So, I promise that when I get back, I will take you into the world of these 7 fabulous people:
1) Alicia from Altered Bits
2) Patti from Altered Attic (beware - I have a lot to say about Patti!)
3) Lisa Sarsfield from Lucky Dip
4) Jafa from JafaBrit'sArt
5) Lyle from Just-a-Note
6) Fadwa from Fadwa's Inspirational Blog
7) Lisa from Mud Hound Primitives
May I say that if you don't find yourself on that list, don't be put out...I'm only allowed to choose 7 (as stipulated by the MeMe award rules) and I've chosen these 7 because they've been making Me think about things lately (and have therefore inspired Me as a result). Here's a quick list of things that these people have got me thinking about:
"Mmmm...brains!"1) ALICIA: foetus(es), brains, the macabre, crackle, think-tank, code, math, larger than life
2) PATTI: diction, tone, pain, beauty, softness, empathy, intelligence
3) LISA SARSFIELD: nests, linoleum, palette, location, experimentation, sharing
4) JAFA: penises, square-pegs, wooley men, flowers, embroidery, provocative, hard-core
5) LYLE: france, wood, cold, family, zest, original, hands, heart
6) FADWA: Spain, heat, rain, dance, passion, pen, burkas
7) LISA: wire, cloth, primitive, detail, hard, soft, feminine, silence...
I'm sure there's a poem in all of that somewhere?
Till next week, y'all! (Credits to http://www.nobodyhere.com/justme/toes.here)

Have a great time doing nothing and thinking nothing so that when you com back you will think of SOMETHING!!! xo cat
Ah - there was a great uproar when the name of the river was changed to Whanganui, too, wasn't there?
I only lived in W[h]anganui from 1988 to 1993 - my family emigrated when there was that nursing shortage (my Stepmum is a nurse). I moved back to the UK but my Dad and Stepmum are still in NZ - live on Waiheke these days. Gorgeous place - lived there for a couple of years, too!
Hi you two. Yes, I plan on taking my charcoal and sketch pad down with me though - so maybe not entirely nothing, afterall!
Waiheke is a stunning but very expensive place to live, Mooneybeams. Your parents are very lucky to be there.
Lucky you and Lucky me:) Thanks for the mention..I truly enjoy my visits here too!
hmmmm ....a very unusual poem in there somewhere .... LOL. I think I'd better go check out Jafa's blog.
Enjoy, rest, relax, recouperate and reinvigour yourself! Look forward to watching what happens when you return. I'm sure you'll think of something!
Hey! Thanks for including me as 1 of the 7! It's a pleasure visiting your blog and I love your work and your spirit. I'm glad to have inspired you, too, somehow.
Enjoy your nothingness!
Hugs & kisses
oh how i love you! thanks so much, sweets! i loved that list... fetuses, brains, penises... all so inspirational!
i'm sorry i've been so quiet lately! i broke my glasses in two the other day and while trying to fix them i ruined the lenses. i'm smart! but i can neither read nor drive without my glasses so i have not been visiting blogs. it's lame really. i had an appointment for some new ones and an exam the next day but a client bounced a big ol' check to me and... yeah. jerks! so i have to wait until next week. now i'm squinting through some super old specs and developing a migraine, but it's worth it to read your post!
mucho loves to you sweet one! when do you leave? have you left? have a tremendous holiday! going to check seth's blog then email you then work on your little present i'm making you.
hugs to you and your boys!

Just to let you know I miss you. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I miss New Zealand too! I was there in 1994 and know I need to come home again!
Enjoy your break Debrina... I used to love the school holidays when my boys were little. Such fun having time together.
