25.01.2022 * Au milieu du déménagement... J’ai été arrêtée au milieu de l’ouverture des boîtes quand j’ai retrouvé mon carnet de dessin. Je me suis souvenue que ma tentative de dessiner pendant les vacances de Noël n’avait pas fonctionné. Me sentant un peu coincée avec des livres que je ne savais pas encore où localiser et sachant que je serai de retour pour les préparatifs de mon expo bientôt, je me suis arrêtée, assise et j'ai dessiné. J’ai écouté des podcasts aussi! ... Quelques heures plus tard, ce Zentangling été fait. Pas de culpabilité de ne pas ouvrir plus de boîtes ce jour là. Le Zentangling est pour moi une forme de méditation à moins que ce ne soit de l’hypnose (aussi?). Ça m’a fait me sentir satisfaite et détendue. J’espère que vous vous faites de la place au milieu de vos petits et grands challenges et avez des petites échappatoires comme celle-ci. * In the middle of the move... I was stopped in the middle of the opening of the boxes when I found my drawing book. I remembered that my attempt to draw during the Christmas holidays had not worked. Feeling a little stuck with books that I didn't know yet where to locate and knowing that I'll be back for the preparations for my exhibition soon, I stopped, sat and drew. I've been listening to podcasts too! A few hours later, this Zentangling was done. No guilt not to open more boxes that day. Zentangling is for me a form of meditation unless it is hypnosis (also?). It made me feel satisfied and relaxed. I hope you make room for yourself in the midst of your big and small challenges and have small ways out like this.

17.01.2022 !!! Bagua Lala is turning 10 today !!! Bagua Lala's presence in my life has been growing and is still soothing me! If you never met me on market, you might not know that 10 things about me and Bagua Lala: 10 years ago...... * I didn't know I was a manual person. I was going back to school and I think I am (still) an eternal student when I am given the chance to explore and learn something new. * I was single, living in a small apartment with my cat. * I was a social worker, struggling with my feelings in this noble but tough profession. * I already loved visiting handmade markets and I was not missing them for any reason. I loved supporting creatives and exhibitions too and that's how I ended up buying my first ring, my first button and some glue. * I was using the same process of creation of today: sitting on a table, putting soft music, videos, documentaries on my computer and drinking tea. * I was only making rings. It was an important symbol that I missed in my life for some time. Then I made it my strength (I stopped waiting for someone willing to offer me a ring and made mine and sooooo many over the years). * I was only communicating here in French. Now, it seems less important to keep it French so I decided to keep it only English from today. Bagua Lala will remain French in the heart and English in the mind. * I wasn't selling on markets. I started when I arrived in Brisbane in 2016 and when I joined the @Brisstyle community. But I always organised gatherings with my friends and friends of friends. I was cooking for everyone and we were chatting all day. I kept this habit when I came to Brisbane until 2018 and 2019 when I visited France (I brought Tim Tam, Frog lollies and Vegemite hihi). I miss it so much! * All I had was a small Facebook page and a light presence on Pinterest. Today, I am on Instagram, I have a logo that was all warm pink and became the one you know today [thanks to Jacaranda and vivid nature around me], a stamp, table cloths and business cards embedded with seeds and an ABN and more things related to behind the scene's operations! * I wasn't making earrings or wishes cards. I am glad I can express my creativity on different mediums! !!! Today BL is 10 years !!!

16.01.2022 * La joie de déballer... Est-ce que je vous ai dit que mon premier challenge de l'année serait de déménager? Je suis bien installée et ai ouvert tous les cartons, sauf ceux de Bagua Lala. Mais je me console en me souvenant de tous les cadeaux de Noël que je me suis faits ... Une fois que j’ai commencé à lire ce livre concernant un mode de vie plus durable, j’ai constaté que j’ai déjà mis en œuvre quelques choses dans ma vie actuelle et qu’il ya aussi des choses que je peux apprendre! Que je peux lire, vérifier et regarder! Je me suis d'ailleurs fait une liste... sans pression... J’aime qu’il n’y ait pas de date précise autant que j’aime la façon dont je me sens engagée à prendre quelques minutes quand je peux pour rattraper et être à jour. Un jour, un conseil. Jusqu’à présent, mon conseil préféré est de lire un livre qui s'appelle 'La pauvreté vêtements: le monde caché de la mode rapide et des vêtements d’occasion' par Andrew Brooks. C’est vraiment une cause qui compte pour moi. Est-ce que vous aussi ce mode de vie et de consommation vous parle? * The joy of unpacking... Did I tell you that my first challenge of the year would be to move? I am well settled and I opened all the boxes, except those of Bagua Lala. But I console myself by remembering all the Christmas presents I made to myself Once I started reading this book about a more sustainable lifestyle, I noticed that I have already implemented a few things in my current life and that there are also things I can learn! That I can read, check and watch! By the way, I made a list ... without pressure... I love that there is no specific date as much as I like the way I feel committed to taking a few minutes when I can to catch up and be up to date. One day, a piece of advice. So far, my favourite tip is to read a book called 'Poverty Clothes: The Hidden World of Fast Fashion and Used Clothes' by Andrew Brooks. It really matters to me... Does this lifestyle and consumption talk to you?

11.01.2022 * Second challenge de l'année... Exposition dans 2 semaines!!! Contente de pouvoir retrouver la bibliothèque de Garden City. J'avais préféré annuler mon exposition là-bas au mois de novembre. Un peu dur... mais comme vous avez pu le voir dans mon petit bilan de l'année 2020, cela m'a permis d'être plus disponible pour d'autres aventures ! ... * Second challenge of the year... Exhibition in two weeks!!! Glad to be able to find the Garden City library again. I had preferred to cancel my exhibition there in November. A little hard... but as you could see in my little review of the year 2020, it allowed me to be more available for other adventures!
