A Personal Update

I'm not sure if you know or not, but I am moving away from Orange, where I currently live.  There are lots of reasons for this, which I won't go into.  But let's just say....

I'M SO DARNED EXCITED!!!

Well, here's the short of it.  I'm moving up to a small place called Nimbin, small in name, small in population, BIG in character.  How big?


I hope that gives you some idea of the character of the town.

Nimbin is an artist and hippy community.  It is touted as the hippy capital of Australia.  I'm certainly looking forward to getting involved in the community.

I'll be camping indefinately.  I honestly don't know what's around the corner.  All I know is that this town is tugging on my heart strings, and has been for some time.

My travel plans are all arranged, and everything is now booked.  I'm leaving Orange on the 4th of February, staying overnight in Sydney, then continuing onto Nimbin (north of Lismore) on the 5th.  I'm catching buses and trains as I don't have a car.

So, most of you will get hand stitched and embellished books.  But that's fine, I often prefer handwork to machine work anyway.

Shall keep you all updated on my travels, and will upload pics to my profile on Ning as I can.
