Hi and welcome to the forums. @Tyme recommends the job board Jora.com.au

You put in your search and it will send you regular emails to tell you about new jobs in your search.

Hi @LwaxanaTroi 

It's so great to have you here!

Sounds like you've got quite a bit going on and that you've got some really positive goals that you're working towards. Hopefully connecting here can be a good step towards some of those.

What sort of fiber arts are you into? I've been really getting into knitting and sewing recently, but also do a bit of crochet and would love to learn weaving eventually...but right now I've probably got enough hobbies on the go! There's a knitting thread you might like to check out if that's your thing: Knitting - Page 45 - SANE Forums

Do you have any pets? 

[LwaxanaTroi]

Hi @Ru-bee !
Thanks so much for the warm welcome. 💜
I would love to learn how to knit or crochet, but I primarily do embroidery, cross stitch, and fabric collage. I really love how calming and meditative these art forms can be! Weaving is definitely on my list to learn as well, I think that would be really cool.

I don’t currently have any pets, but o desperately miss my two late rescue dogs I had back when I lived in the US. They both were such sweet and supportive pups.
I think I want to try to volunteer to work with dogs in some capacity in the future though.
Do you have any pets?

[LwaxanaTroi]

Thanks @Oaktree ! I’ll check it out 💕

[Ru-bee]

That all sounds so cool @LwaxanaTroi I feel like a lot of fibre art has that meditative aspect which can be so nice. Maybe there need to be a fibre arts thread to encompass all the different skills under that umbrella 

Volunteering at a shelter sounds like such an amazing idea. I was coincidentally just doing a search of shelters in my area to volunteer at. I have rescue 2 cats, and would love to welcome a dog too but perhaps volunteering would fill that dog-shaped hole for a little while until I'm ready to adopt one... Or maybe I'd bring one home on the first day 😄

Hi @Shaz51, thank you for the warm welcome ☺️

I drink coffee to function (ADHD juice) but love a tasty cup of tea on occasion. Herbal teas, flavoured teas and matcha are on rotation in our house. 

What’s your preference? 

[Ru-bee]

@Spungold do you have any recommendations on good matcha? I've been trying to get into it as a coffee alternative when it's making me too jittery but the supermarket one I've found doesn't seem great... 🍵

@Ru-bee you’re right, the supermarket one is not the best. The one I’m drinking now is from an Asian grocer (imported from Japan). 
If you don’t have any Asian grocery stores, you could try the Hello Matcha website. They import from Kyoto!
