Di Mill I am a Freelance Textile and Craft Representative with 2 children. I travel the state of Queensland, Australia, selling patchwork, quilting and craft supplies to retailers withing the industry.
Some people tell me I have a happy knack of finding myself in a 'situation'
Because of my own forgetfulness, I found myself with that problem once again today.
I forgot to bring my drivers license !!!! and I had paid for a hire car. It is always stays in my American purse but I had to use it for something recently and somehow I sort of forgot about it.
I needed it on Thursday when I went to have my stitches out I searched for it... but it wasn't where it should be.!!
A quick conversation with Keith and he decided to look for it and send me a photo copy. He signed it as a Justice to try and give me a little more hope...!!!! NO.
"I found it in the 3rd layer of your bags" he said smugly.
But the hire car company would have none of it.
So poor Lisa had to travel for 2 hours to get me. I worked on the computer and had lunch of Tortilla soup to pass the time.
I have a busy schedule for the next week, radio, media, presentations and luncheons.... so if you live anywhere near Las Cruces tomorrow I'll be visiting the quilt group it would be great to meet as many people as possible.
In 1954, oil tycoon J. Paul Getty opened a gallery adjacent to his home in Pacific Palisades.
Quickly running out of room, he built a second museum, the Getty Villa, on the property down the hill from the original gallery. The villa design was inspired by the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum and incorporated additional details from several other ancient sites.
It opened in 1974,but was never visited by Getty, who died in 1976. Following his death, the museum inherited $661 million and began planning a much larger campus, the Getty Center, in nearby Brentwood.
Its stunningly beautiful and as we walked from pavilion to pavilian
I've just watched a bright Orange sun set over LAX, its so nice to be back and settled and ready for another exciting tour.
After weeks of preparation, a few heart starting hiccups and lots of work I'm back in my second home but the sad part is, I'm minus the Bambinos and Grandies.
For that, I have to rely on Face Time.
Then again I have wonderful friends who share my passion for life and textiles and I treasure their company.
I'm a well prepared and cautious traveler. I like to cover all bases and I know how to pace myself. However, travel sometimes has a few hiccups, but it all went smoothly yesterday and I find it really interesting being forced to wind down and be a people watcher.
My seat mate last night was the manager of the Australian Group, Empire of the Sun. He was meeting them in NY for a performance. He said to me, "You'd really like them, they love fabric"
So how could I ignore that statement and of course I looked them up on the net.... and, indeed I do like their taste in costumes.I wonder if their Mum's make them, indeed they could even be quilters.
Time to sleep and I will finish this in the morning.!!!!
In the Sydney airport, I duly passed the doughnut stall and headed for the Qantas club where they have a healthier choice of food but probably not as spectacularly delicious as Krispy Kreme donuts.
I never get sick of the view out the window of the plane, I leave the blind up for as long as possible, I can't work out why people get on the plane and shutout the light just to watch movies. This photo was captured as I left my home in Adelaide.
I left Australia from Sydney. The views were wonderful, we flew over the iconic Sydney Opera House and the coat-hanger Bridge, down over the suburbs and off out over the ocean headed for LA.
I worked on a video for the 'Quilt Show' for 4 hours then after supper, (when its dark) I joined the grey brigade.
They give you grey jamas made by Morrisey there's a darn big a kangaroo on the bosom to remind you that you're an Australian, they are really comfy. They have mattresses for your seat and warm quilts to sleep under and it seems strange that you are sleeping high above the earth with the rest of the world continuing life below you.
After arrival and settled into my hotel.I generally sleep for an hour or two before venturing out in LA.
A visit to my favorite store Anthropologie was a must. I buy a set of china like this on most of my trips... I use it while traveling and it adds to my eclectic collection at home.
I love these cushions.
Today, I'm off to visit the Getty House with friends and I'll have the stitches out on my face. The bruising makes for an interesting green brown complexion, its taken a while to come out but then again its better than the alternative and its just a week since the surgery.
I have some really exciting things offered to me, tours, trips and career wise. Can't share them yet, but I'm flying high right now.
