How I Spent My Birthday: A Day in the Life of Me

So I’m officially 26 today! I’ve had a great day. I haven’t done anything exciting, it’s just another regular day but I have to say; the birthday wishes that have rolled in all day have totally made my day. The day started early. We headed out to treat the kids to McDonald’s for breakfast. Totally [...]

Little Miss Eight

It was my daughters birthday yesterday. This is Vahnija at one day old. It’s a photo taken by some random woman at the hospital; she wrapped her in the peach blanket, I wish we’d gone with pink seeing as we went on to have 3 boys. Vahnija (Russian for butterfly or a gracious gift from [...]

Blog Idol Starts Tomorrow

Don’t forget everyone! Blog Idol starts tomorrow morning. I’ve been told the hours to ‘vote’, read click and comment, are between 9am-5pm NZT. You can keep and eye out for it over on Stuff.co.nz and I’ll put up a link on here as soon as I can. I think that’s allowed. I swear I would [...]

Wow, What a Year

We’re only 3 months into the year, barely that, and so much has happened already. It really makes a person sit and think about things. I went to bed last night, still anxious but overwhelmingly happy. I felt good feelings and let them consume me. I focused on the positive and shoved the niggling little [...]

Still Working On It

I’m still working on my painting for the enquiry I had. I managed to run out of gold paint and had to wait till today for the one store in town, that sells this specific paint,to be open. This weekend has been hectic, not at all relaxed like I thought it would be. On top [...]

Fixed Painting

I never got a photo of the painting while it had the pierce through it. I just completely forgot as I was too keen to fix it all up and restore the painting. This is what it looks like now though. You really can’t tell it was once ruined. I love this piece, it’s entitled [...]

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
