It's been a bloggy long time.....

Almost five months have passed since my last blog!!! It almost feels like I had given it up for good.   I've been struggling for some inspiration, a complete room to photograph, a finished piece of furniture to share or another creative adventure. For the last five months there haven't been any finished pieces of furniture, no decorated rooms and nothing else particularly exciting to share. I have been coasting. A queen of procrastination perhaps? Or, a limited budget? Too much reading of the SMH while it was free every day?  That's it! I can blame the SMH. 

A year has almost past since buba 2 arrived. I have spent the last few months stressing about going back to work and finding a new routine for our household. Alas, my worries were wasted and due to some circumstances beyond my control - my maternity leave has been extended until February.  I am part, yippee! Part, oh holy crap! 

Is this my opportunity to dare to be great? Dare to be creative? Should I just coast through the next eight months until work rolls around again? Will it roll around again? If it doesn't, what other opportunities can I discover? Being an environmental scientist is part of who I am but can I find another part? Is there an easier way to sustain family life outside of the nine to five?

The inspiration is flooding back in and I'm looking forward to sharing it.
