There’s an ongoing project in Newcastle called Renew Newcastle, and I’ve been following it for a while. Its aim is to find short and medium term uses for disused spaces in the Newcastle CBD.

I was very excited when one of the projects was a photography gallery called Gallery RAW. It’s hard to find a gallery locally that is dedicated to solely photographic work, and this one also has plans for future workshops and meetups at the premises.

3 of my photos are currently part of an exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition is called “It Must Be Art!” and it showcases works of Flickr photographers from Newcastle and the Hunter Region. I’m very excited and honoured to have my photos be a part of this exhibition!

If you are in the area, please do take the time to stop by the gallery and take a look! There are a total of 70 prints on display by various photographers and the prints are also available for purchase directly from the gallery.

One of the simple pleasures in life is to be able to sit down to a homecooked meal.

We’ve been living in the new house for a couple of days, and even though there is still much to be unpacked and organised, I’m finally able to add some personal touches to the place.

Can’t wait to be rid of all my packing boxes at some stage (hopefully soon)!

Am finally spending my first night in my new house. So excited!

We still have heaps to trasnport to the house, but we’ve decided that we’re going to start calling it home tomorrow and move in.

As it is, I’m currently typing this post from the new house – I got the ADSL2+ set up this afternoon! Yay!

Started the house moving process today. Am so tired right now, and we still have so much more to move.

Sometimes, I think it would be nice to just be away to run away and not have a care in the world.

We’re going down to Sydney tomorrow for he is going to visit his grandmother and help her out with some chores around the house. He was also going to pick up a table there that’ll be our dining table, and I was supposed to go to help out with the lifting, etc.

So of course, it would be the perfect time for me to come down with somthing, no?

I’ve been feeling like crap since this afternoon, and now I think I’ve got a cold coming on.

His family home is surrounded by many beautiful flowers and trees, and they are such a joy to have around.

When we move in to our own place soon, I hope we can fill our house and garden with as many wonderful flowers too.

Sometimes, I read about so many catfights and so much wank online to do with the dolly hobby that I just want to dissociate myself with the whole thing.

I guess that’s partly why I losing the enjoyment of sharing my dolly hobby with others in forums and on Flickr? I still love the dolls I have, but it’s become a more personal interest – I find I have the need to share and get approval (in a sense) from others.

Anyway, I’m off back to Melbourne tomorrow till Saturday. Cannot wait to see the family and catch up with a few friends again!
