Definitely not. The team at Inspirations are all relocating to the Hunkydory head office just 2 miles away from the store. It is with great sadness that we have made the difficult decision to close our much-loved Inspirations Store at the Capitol Centre, Preston.

By then, Pita said running became "a really cathartic moment of the day" that she would look forward to as it allowed her to be in her own "headspace and helped process some really complicated work things". The most popular of Preston’s works are probably her hand-coloured woodcuts of flowers, which gave a dramatic modern look to a traditional women’s subject; the most critically admired, modernist oils like Flying over the Shoalhaven River (1942); the most original – if least appreciated – her late naïve 'Aboriginal’ images that rejected both academic and modernist styles for an indigenous Australian modernism. In works like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (1950), Expulsion (1955) and The Superimposed Feet (1959) the biblical founders of the human race are Australian Aborigines (and the angel who expels them from Eden is white). I do have a disability now and I'll always have a disability because I have too much titanium keeping my leg together, on a daily basis if I'm sat down for too long, it's about managing the pain." Pita said. Her son, Jake, had recently finished school and the pair set themselves the target of completing a couch to 5k to lose weight, which they completed.

Unfortunately our store having to close during the pandemic restrictions has meant a change in how people shop, with more and more people choosing to get their craft goodies online. The reduction in customers coming in store sadly means we are not able to continue to keep the shop open. painter, printmaker and teacher, was born on 29 April 1875 at Port Adelaide, elder daughter of David McPherson (also spelt Macpherson), a marine engineer, and Prudence Cleverdon, née Lyle. In Sydney from 1884 Rose attended Fort Street Girls’ School and had private art classes with W. Lister Lister . At Melbourne in 1893 she enrolled at the National Gallery School, possibly after lessons from Berthe Mouchette [although the Miss Macpherson listed in a catalogue of Mouchette’s students’ work has been identified by Mary Eagle as another Miss Macpherson; nevertheless, Rose McPherson and Mouchette would later have studios in the same Adelaide building]. In 1894 her father was admitted to the Parkside Lunatic Asylum and Rose joined her sister and mother in Adelaide. She completed her Melbourne studies in 1896-98 then returned home, studied at the Adelaide School of Design, leased a studio and began teaching. In 1904 she left for Europe with a former student, Bessie Davidson , took classes at the Munich Government Art School for Women then moved to Paris. She had an academic still-life painting hung in the Old Salon in 1905. At Inspirations Craft Store you will find papercrafts galore, including the complete range from Hunkydory Crafts. There are tons of stamps, the largest collection of Cricut and Cuttlebug merchandise, as well as a brand new fabric and knitting department that includes the latest quilting and patchwork goodies. She said: "Depending on what’s happened in the week or what experiences I’ve had, sometimes I just sit there and have a think about what’s gone on - other times, I can just fill up with tears and think about that moment and think about how significant it was in my life at that time." We plan to close the store in late March and until then our usual business hours will continue. Please come and see us as we’ll be offering large discounts on all items and hope you will come take advantage of these savings.

Through fundraising, support from local councils and 'amazing' support and donations from the community, Cuerden Valley parkrun gained a lot of kudos and had over 33,000 registered runners that used the trail as their home run. Our shop has won many awards over the years and been a focal point for the craft community, with visitors coming from all over the country and beyond. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 13 years and we are sincerely grateful for your custom and for making our jobs here at Inspirations incredibly enjoyable. We will miss chatting with you, seeing you at our popular workshops and demos, and most of all helping you with your craft projects. The majority of us know that running is good for us. But for runner, Pita Oates, running is a lot more than a hobby, in fact it's something to be celebrated.

Preston had begun to advocate a national style based on Aboriginal art in 1923, initially for craft items, then for colour, technique and finally for subjects in painting. From 1927 she made several trips with Bill to study Aboriginal art, collecting carvings by Kalboori Youngi , Nora Nathan and Linda Craigie in Far West Queensland in the early 1940s and much other material. She was interested in other non-western art sources too; on 2 April 1935 she gave a talk on 'The Primitive Craftwork of China, Japan and New Guinea, etc.’ to the Society of Arts and Crafts of NSW. It was one of many talks she gave to the Society, of which she was an early associate member (elected a vice-president in 1955). And despite suffering a horrific accident while running with her dogs that has left her with a titanium plate in her knee, the inspiring mum continues to take on 10k runs. She was often staying up until the early hours of the morning working and soon found herself two stone overweight.
