Is there anyone out there? out there? out there? out there?

It's true... most of the time I feel like I'm all alone... who cares that I'm writing here? Will anyone actually read this? Possibly not!

It's hard just getting started. No one out there really knows what I am capable of & until I can show something... does anyone even care? I'm dreaming that I have a legion of fans out there somewhere... they just don't know it yet :D

Right now I'm standing at the edge of this huge uncharted gorge of which I have to make it down into before trudging my way through & discovering all the beauty to behold... all of it just out of my reach... reach.... reach.... reach...

But hey... I'm sure there is going to be plenty of fun along the way & great beauty to behold!

And I know I'll gather support as I continue this journey... even help with my burdens along the way. I know I already have the support of my family... especially my parents!

Then somewhere down the track... when I think I have had enough of the trudging.... when I'm thinking of giving up... I'll turn that one more corner & find the most beautiful deep pool to swim in for a while...

And I'm sure I'll find when I continue the journey that somewhere further on I'll find another pool to swim in which is equally spectacular... though different again!

Note: All above photos are from our Jan 2011 trip to Karijini National Park.
In order from top:
Dales Gorge from the top.
Dales Gorge from the bottom (near Circular Pool).
Hamersley Gorge near the Spa Pool (Blossum being carried by my Dad).
Circular Pool in Dales Gorge.
Fern Pool in Dales Gorge... there is no signage to this pool, just a track that dissapears into the bush... if you notice it is there when you stop admiring the beauty of the Fortescue Falls (Or someone brings your attention to the path)!

To finish off... an official update as to where things are at: I currently have 10 items in various stages of preparation as well as a bunch more waiting to get started... awaiting an overlocker. I am looking into 2nd hand or lower end brand new overlockers.

Sneak peek into my creations:

Ok... I admit... a lot of them are size 1... though that is because I have the most gorgeous inspiration and model who is currently a size 1 ;) There is also a size 0, size 2, size 4, & size 6. Oh & yes... they are all dresses & shirts. I think the boys side of the market will be more of a challenge... hmmmm :)

I'm actually heading down to fremantle this afternoon to check out a 2nd hand Bernina 1200 MDA which is looking very promising!

I am accepting donations of business/dress shirts & flowing skirts... Please email me at turtleandroo@gmail.com if you can help out!

Oh & if you ARE out there! out there! out there! out there! can you please send me some encouragement... an email... a comment on one of my posts... 'like' my Facebook page... share one of my posts... 'follow' my blog...

Thanks for your support :)
