salvaged corduroy
bits & pieces
The fruits of my work, all ready to be sent off. 
More packaging again, cute lovehearts stickytape! and cutouts for packaging. It's nice to send people nice packages that are fun to open (these are the kind I like to receive anyway!).
trevor at the prom
I always get a bit bored looking through a tonne of landscapes, no matter how beautiful, so I took Trevor to liven things up - I thought it might be funny. A photo of a mountain & Trevor.
A photo of a beach and Trevor.A photo of a river/stream.

My story: I was drawing the parrots and then one jumped on my shoulder and then one landed on my head and then one drank from my tea. I told them 'sit still! Let me draw you!' but they wouldn't listen.
I wanted to find lots of animals to draw - primarily cute woodland creatures. There were no squirrels but there were a heap of deer! I really had no idea you would find deer at the Prom... unfortunately most of the animals really only came out at night, so apart from the overly friendly parrots and a few wombats it was all a bit difficult to be drawing by torchlight.

rabbit day




And finally a wind-up rabbit coinpurse, this is available on Dawanda.
Have had a nice weekend, went for lunch with some buddies yesterday, it's always so nice to have lunch with good good friends (especially if you haven't seen them for awhile). I also started watching Kiki's Delivery Service today which is a Studio Ghibli film - might finish it tonight, it's very good & quite hilarious!
Swing Tags

The tags are a bit small to take a really decent picture of, you'll have to excuse the photo.
Oh and it's just started raining again, but this is nice we're-on-the-way-to-spring sunshower kind of rain.
this is my canvas

Project Runway
I'm watching it on youtube as I don't have cable.
I can't believe they made them run... I wouldn't have done that!
Flowers

Available at Madeit.
more frogs

labels
This is one of the things I was working on yesterday - return address sticker labels for packages. Excuse the smudging of the address, they aren't really smudged. Also have been working on some wholesale stuff, and just generally having a soup making, cookie baking kinda day. Was some confusion when I thought my camera wasn't working, but then I realised I was actually taking a video of some coinpurses.
owls & busy bees


This is some paper I bought on Thursday from Rock Paper Scissors - cute! It's one of those huge pieces of scrapbooking paper (why can't scrapbooks be A4 sized?) and I really love the colours and shapes in it - going on the inspiration wall! When you look at the image closely you can see that the owls are actually pictures of decorated wood & paper owls with button eyes - it works so well though.
rabbit-child

I like this little strawberries & cream look for this rabbit-child - the coinpurse is available at Dawanda.

This is my little pile of new Lara Cameron fabric... it looked so pretty sitting there I had to show it!
I'm having a very lazy, disorganised kind of day today, have been gunning it on the coinpurses the last hour or so though, so better get back to the grindstone!
spotlight
I got some good stuff - 5 metres of denim (woo), a bunch of thread, some cute polka dot stuff from the remnants tub and some orange zips (these are hard to find). BUT!! From when I took a number to be served and from when I was actually served it took just over 30 mins. In this time I managed to convince myself to buy 3 packets of mini buttons, more orange zips, brown upholstery thread, some plaques to paint onto, ribbons and some bigger buttons. I just don't know if it was all worth 20% off...
On a happier note, when I got home my new bunch of Lara fabric was waiting. Cheered me up :)
