In the Watson's Garden

Dear Blogger..

I had an affair.....

....with wordpress, for about 16 hours, she was enticing, encouraging me to behave like a grown up, with her sleek styling and a no fuss demeanour.

I have now after the fuzzy glow and rush of indulging in her mature façade come to the realisation I am a blogger girl, I like the glitz and spangle I can add to you, the free backgrounds I can download over at shabbyblogs, the blinkies and the buttons I love it all, and most of all I love you blogger. i promise I will never be unfaithful again.

Regards,

Lola

Road Trippin'

No getting to know you chit chat here, you are either reading this because you already know me; or you’re a nosy little fucker and in which case, Welcome.

Not known to be to wordy I will cut straight to the chase, I went on an awesome road trip today, awesome in respects of the company i

kept, the mixed tape that aurally devoured, the food that was consumed, the antiquities that were procured and the giggling that was audible everywhere we went.

In pictures that looks a lot like this….

The Best of 2011 in Pictures

I did't think that I had many happy memories of 201l, however; looking back over the photographs I have taken, it is kind of easy to dismiss the shitty stuff and enjoy the good parts. 

The good parts include but are not limited to; Crafternoon Tea, Bangalow Road Trips, Woodchops, visits to the park, new tattoos, breakfast with friends, parties and makeovers.

when inconsiderate people ruin your therapy

Things in my world are moving along slowly and I, with the help of my therapist

are gently moulding me into a stronger human being.

We are walking in baby steps, but they are defiantly forward... well they were until Saturday.

My mother, knowing that it was a weekend I didn't have my kids, and knowing that this is a particularly difficult thing for me to cope with, decided to take me to the next town over to look at a quilt and art exhibition, clearly she knows me well.

Creativity = Awesome distraction for Lisa

We wandered around admiring the unbelievable talent from members of our community.

Under Water 3d Embroidery

Vintage Braids

Felted 3d Fairygarden

My FAVOURITE 1930's flowers.

Until, I turned the corner of the next aisle of work...

I stopped

Vomit rose up in my throat

I was nauseous

There were no words

Just 10 weeks of feelings welling up inside me

10 weeks of working HARD to get well again

there hanging on display for all the Valley to see...

MY WEDDING QUILT

hanging there like nothing had changed

how could someone be so inconsiderate

to think that it would be OK to hang such a personal item

on public display.

And an item no less that represented a union that was now

past crisis point, past recovery point

just plain past.

I am thinking of passing on my next therapy account........

This is how we roll......
