🙋‍♀️Hi neighbours! I hope your all well though all the disruptions of late, its so easy to be swept away by all the stress and miss counting even small blessings we maybe so lucky to have.

It's been a while since I have posted to you all sorry. We have had a heart breaking and making year this year,(well get the bad out the way first) getting a terminal diagnosis for our big old girl Karma (white dog) in Januray-shes still with us and fine atm, having to put down our goat Buddy the next week suddenly...and our poor puppy Hunter- he was a regular at the vets with specialist help figuring out he unfortunately had a rare immune disorder and food allergies on top, he got sick on top, we did everything, but we can only say we gave him the best short life he could have had and lost him late May.

HOWEVER dry your eyes and meeeetttt Bear hes only been with us a short time but living his best life 😍 and Ewok, our new garden maintenance guy in training....did I mention we also got Married early March 👰🤵 a relaxed occasion enjoyed by all at our home, followed by an "bucket list" South Island trip for our honeymoon early May 🥰

.....Iv finally been able to do a couple of custom glass jobs lately too!!

(Talk about rollercoaster right!)

If you made it this far, wow go you star🤩
I wish all of you the best as we move in to the end/start of year, festivities with struggles old and new.

"❤Everyone's fighting there own battles, kindness is everywhere if you cant see it be it ❤"

Opening November 12 at the Feilding Art Centre:

An exhibition of infrared photography by Catherine Kelley, one of Australasia's Top Emerging Photographers (2019).

Kelley's work challenges traditional notions of art and photography. Working with a camera specially adapted to capture only the infrared spectrum, Kelley photographs a world that is familiar yet so different. Challenging the viewer to think and look beyond the ordinary and familiar, Kelley's infrared photographs draw you into the world beyond the limits of the visible spectrum.

Painting with Light is an unmissable exhibition. Kelley's recent work focuses on the surrealism of everyday objects and places and she invites you to come and join her on a journey into a world that is all around us, but which we cannot see.
