For Curt it's been a year of fixing stuff, he's certainly been kept on his toes with all the jobs that needed doing and continue to unfold. He also bought a kombi, his new beloved! I love how he likes to start the motor just to hear it run! And that he's joined a kombi club here in Australia! Yayyy!
For me it's been a huge year building the clay business up. I've found a most enjoyable way to teach is by letting people come up one at a time and just going for it. It's a bit more of a challenge because we're flying by the seat of our pants...spontaneous lessons/techniques...switching from one clay to another...but so much fun and so wonderful to feel confident enough to teach this way, having really grounded in expertise over the last 7 years or so. And I totally love my studio with the view. Talk about making it easy to go to work! And then there's the fabulous people I've connected with along the way. Taking over the management of the aussiepolyclayers group and setting up a new forum has also been a highlight for me. I really love the polymer clay communities that I am a part of and it's my goal to continue to foster the generoisty and support that these groups are known for. Yup, it's been a really great year for me.
So...defintely there's been new life breathed into us with having come to a place inside us where we are happy with 'what is'....ofcourse, it helps if most of "the boxes ticked"...you know, in that list we all have till we do away with it!
I wanted to say a big thank you to my family and Curts family for their own generosity and support in all kinds of ways. We love you guys...and to all our friends and family, we wish you a very happy, healthy and peaceful year ahead.
All our love,
Mel and Curt and Wiggles (Shadow's nickname)
