I thought I should make a blog post, I've missed a whole year. I post on my Facebook Page and Instagram, but have decided I still need to add things here from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've done lots of teaching since my last post, travelling to Queensland, NSW and SA as well as teaching in Victoria and from home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've had terrible fires across Australia this summer as you've probably seen and we're only half way through summer. The volunteer fire fighters all deserve a medal and unfortunately we have lost a few, so sad. So many houses and animals destroyed. Drought, winds and high temperatures don't help the situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few photos of some of the things I've been making.</div>

The town square is in the centre surrounded by the shops, apartments and hotels. The gardens are lovely, so tropical considering it's surrounded by desert.</div>

I couldn't resist attending a workshop with indigenous artist Sarah, she was lovely and so shy. Her helper explains what the symbols mean and what her painting is about. It was a privilege to be able to learn from her. I bought one of her paintings knowing the money actually goes directly to her. I learnt so much about their culture, things I never knew before and have such a great respect for their way of life. If ever you get a chance to visit them you won't regret it.</div>

It's almost February and my first post for the year. I hope everyone enjoyed their break. I've been busy creating mew things for my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/robruhn?ref=hdr_shop_menu"><span style="font-size: large;">Etsy shop</span></a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been working out classes for this year. I'm teaching 'Mosaic Madness' at Fibre Arts Australia. in Ballarat in July. This workshop is for five days, so you should be able to complete your project to take home. Details and enrolment are here: <a href="http://www.fibrearts.jigsy.com/ro-bruhn"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.fibrearts.jigsy.com/ro-bruhn</span></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will also be teaching at Uluru in Central Australia in August this year. Not only do you get chance to do a three day workshop, but you also get to visit the magical Uluru and partake in some wonderful outings. You also get to keep your own BERNINA sewing machine that's provided for the workshop. I'll be teaching painting your own fabric as a group, so that you don't need to worry about a blank piece of fabric, or panic because you don't paint. Then we turn the fabric into a very versatile, light weight bag, that you can wear or fold up and put inside another bag. It packs away into a small shape, no bigger than a small fold up umbrella. For details and enrolment visit this link:</div>

The past few weeks and the next few coming up have and will have been the busiest I've had since I decided to retire and work for myself. I've been doing lots of teaching, planning new workshops and creating lots of paintings for my exhibition starting next weekend at Tog's Restaurant and Cafe in Castlemaine, in Victoria. The exhibition goes until the end of November. I will be teaching in Brisbane and the Gold Coast for eight days in November. After that I intend to slow down for a couple of months to experiment and hopefully get some on-line workshops ready for next year. Famous last words.<br />

This is a two day workshop where you take a photo or image and re create it using lots of scraps of fabric, you can be as accurate or as abstract as you like adding stitching and embellishments as you go. I like to add unusual objects to convey certain things. I've used press studs in the last photo to represent hay bales.</div>

The IKEA dvd units make great storage for fabric. I still have lots more to do, but I'm getting inspired to sew again now. I had two of my grandchildren visit last week for an art day. We had great fun and they went home with half of the cast offs from my studio, much to my daughter's horror. They've now converted their bedrooms into studios, great kids.<br />
<br />
I've been updating my <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/robruhn?ref=hdr_shop_menu">Etsy</a> </span></b>shop too. I recently had high quality photos taken of some of my paintings, then had them printed onto a lovely medium weight cotton fabric, by Spoonflower.<br />
They are great to use as a centre piece or a few to make a quilt or patchwork. They can also be put straight into a standard frame or you can add your own scraps of fabric and hand or machine stitching, to make them unique. They would also make very colourful cushions. The details are in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/robruhn?ref=hdr_shop_menu"><b><span style="color: blue;">Etsy</span></b></a> shop.<br />

It's been over three years since I had a proper sort out in my studio. Wow you should have seen the mess. I'm too embarrassed to show the before photos. I started working on it around two weeks before Christmas and today I can actually see some major headway. I hope to have it all complete by the end of next week.</div>

I can't believe how long it is since I posted here. I really will have to pull up my socks next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to wish you all a Happy and Peaceful Christmas or whatever you Celebrate. This year has been so busy for me which is wonderful, next year also looks like it's going to be a big one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've put up the tree and wrapped the present now we just have to wait for the big day. Not looking forward to the weather, 36 deg Celsius and we are having roast turkey and Christmas pudding, at least we can be outside in the shade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will definitely endeavour to post more next year (famous last words)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a very Happy, Peaceful and Creative 2017</div>

I meet some lovely people over there, the venue was really good with lovely food. The tutors were so well catered for thanks to Catherine, Harry, Jill, Diane and the committee. I would definitely recommend anything they organise.<br />
<br />
I came to Australia from the UK when I was nine and have lived here ever since, it's taken me awhile but I finally became an Australian Citizen over the weekend. My children were very pleased, they've been hounding me for years. I still have a British passport, so I'm now a dual citizen. It's very hard to totally give up your birth right, but I love Australia, it has and always will be my home.<br />

We've had it quite cold, for us any way, and lots of rain so every thing is looking very lush. These are a few photos taken in our front garden. Our house is open plan so this is the view from the living and dining room.<br />

I'll be in Adelaide from the 16th to the 26th of September, so if anyone is interested in organising a workshop I'd be happy to teach. Just leave a comment or email me and we can sort something out. Meanwhile I have more papers and stamps in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/robruhn?ref=hdr_shop_menu"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>Etsy</b></span></a> shop.<br />

In the workshop we all paint on a piece of fabric, cut it up, then continue decorating it with paints, markers and stitching. Finally we turn it into a lined bag to carry art supplies, knitting or just as a fashion statement. If bright colours aren't your thing, you can use pastel or earth colours, whatever you feel comfortable with.<br />

We received 50mm of rain on Thursday which has made the garden very lush again. Our veggie patch has gone crazy, I can almost watch the beans growing.<br />

This year seems even busier than last, I missed posting in December and have only just made it for January. I'm busy working out classes and have decided to run some half day workshops from home, they will run over three to four weeks. The first one starts in two weeks on a Thursday. I'm also holding them on Tuesdays too.<br />

For the past two weekends I've been in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Up in Noosa in Queensland. The first workshop was printing paper and fabric them making the prints into a journal. That was in Noosa, the second workshop was my fabric journal in Gympie. Lovely students and great creativity on both occasions. I had five days off in-between to laze in the sun and on the beach, as well of lots of shopping.</div>

I just seem to manage to keep up on my Facebook Page. I've been demonstrating at the Craft Fair in Western Australia and also teaching a two day Fabric Journal workshop for Dale Rollerson from the Thread Studio. Now I'm getting ready to go and teach at Noosa and Gympie in Queensland. I love being so busy especially when it's doing something I thoroughly enjoy.<br />

I found this great little book in <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://cottonon.com/AU/p/typo/activity-journal/2013579301988.html#start=1">Typo</a></span></b>, a shop that sells note books, pens and a whole range of arty stationery. I've been drawing something everyday and it's great fun. The paper isn't special, but it takes pen, pencils and water colour without bleeding through to the other side, the pages feel great when they're finished.</div>

I taught a two day journal workshop from home and had a lovely group of students at <a href="http://artified.com.au/">Artified</a> attend my Gelli plate printing workshop. That's where part of the month went. I've spent all of this week home trying to catch up on some projects. Following are some of the things I've been doing.<br />
