Honey Joy Joy


My daughter's boyfriend made these for my fella's birthday. R for Ross. You can see the humungous size by the baking dish!! Funny. We ate it all after we'd eaten far too much other stuff and the sugar was coursing uncomfortably through our veins all night. Cake, lollies, cake, hiney-joys, chocolate and roast. Hmm Mmm!

This Is What I've Been Doing Lately


Just put in an application for exhibition space at Craft Victoria. Wouldn't be until late next year even if I do get a possie. Give me time to complete the list. Here's the first dress though. I've been holding out on you... you know... 'Do I show the work for the show or do I keep it under wraps?' But it's just my gals looking here. It's not the general public, just specific friendly, nice types.
I was making this while I looked after Mum and after.
I'm making a life sized wedding dress, so if anyone's divorced and wants to donate their wedding cards (not for irony's sake, but you'll want to keep them otherwise)... let me know and I'll gladly pay for postage and your effort. A woman at work gave me these birth cards from her daughters and son. This is all from one of them, one of the daughters, with children's book illustrations featured on each panel and bits of the story to make stripes. Inside is the poems from the cards and bits from the books. Size 5 for dicephalys twins.
One down, three more to go!
P.S. Don't tell huh? I should be keeping a little mystery...

The Dog Pavillion


I think every single person in there had champagne or wine, or had had some, or had had lots, maybe? Hundreds and hundreds of people were filing past this happy lady and her (favourite) dog. Lots of people laughed when I took the photo too. Ha ha ha!

Ruby's Sunshine Dress



Which will soon fot her daughter Mercedes, although Sadie isn't the red-head her mother is (and suits pinks and purples, not oranges and yellows). S'pose I should make her one of her own.

So Many Great Things On This Inter Net Thingy

Check it out people.
You can see that I have access to a computer and nothing much else to do.

Free Paper Toys! How Nice!


I found this whilst doing a bunny image search. It's via The Toymaker. So's the 'plane.
We love Paper Craft at our house. I've had a long running (true) love affair with Agence Eureka and my little girl's little boy has spent many a day at Grandma's house (ie. my house) with sticky tape and scissors... mostly we get them from here, but really, you must have a geek here to see the whole selection. I love this girl. She's a national (earth) treasure. The car is amazing.
Stuff. They've all got lots of stuff.
I want to be able to print things and use them but not have the print fade. Got any suggestions?
