Ironically, the sun has been shining the last couple of days after weeks of rain in Brisbane. There will be no negativity in this post today. I want to share my little ray of sunshine with you.
Do you remember baby Matteo? He is my gorgeous nephew and he turned one yesterday! He is always smiling and I hope he continues to do so.
There were no major celebrations but I did spend some time with him and his big brother Josh. It makes me so grateful that they are safe and sound and part of my life.
I didn't feel like going shopping so I decided to make something special for the little guy. I never have time to cut stencils or screen-print for my own pleasure even though I teach this technique in my classes. However, yesterday was an exception and the process kept my troubled mind occupied. Is there anything better than giving or receiving a one-of-a-kind, hand-made gift? I think not.Today, I wish a Happy Birthday to my brother Peter! (He was not the flooded brother). We have a lot of family birthdays this month as I never mentioned that Voyt also celebrated a birthday on the 2nd.
I must say a thank you to all the family and personal friends from as far as Greece, Poland and Brazil who contacted me to enquire about Voyt. I will be giving you further updates shortly.
It has been so wonderful to witness all the community support in our fair city. I have donated to the Premier's Flood Appeal but I am also preparing something very special to share with you soon that will be a further contribution to the Flood Relief efforts.
