The bushfires here in Melbourne have cast smoke across the town; it is a constant reminder of the mammoth disaster that occurred here on Saturday February 7th. I have not been directly effected. None of my family or friends have died or lost homes. Yet somehow it has effected all of us, every Melbournite. We [...]

Happy New Year
Welcome to 2009! I have a feeling it is going to be an especially fantastic year! I have managed to get my craft room / study tidy. This was in desperate need after the rush to finish Christmas presents and cards. So far I’ve made a few cards to restock my general supply and have [...]

No time this week…
Last week I had joined into both the Mixed Media Monday and the new Gothic Arches challenges. This week I haven’t had the time. so rather than continue to worry and fuss about it, I’ve decided that there won’t be any challenges for this week, or next week. After that my school work will be [...]

All is well…
All is well in my part of the world… I haven’t been making much art, so I haven’t been blogging it. I have been studying part-time, so that has kept me busy. I got retrenched last week, so I will have more time on my hands, once this gloomy transition time has passed… I am [...]

Back from Adventure

Easter Crafting
Woohoo! My family has gone away and left me to crafting. I’m so used to spending only an hour at a time, that a whole day is a little daunting; so much opportunity, where to start? I’ve got plenty done: this weeks 4×4 Friday challenge of diVinci’s women complete, a MOO card swap well underway, [...]

Creating, not Blogging
I haven’t updated this blog for a while or done many challenges as I’m working on a Fat Book swap. It’s due by the end of February and it’s been very challenging; creating a piece for someone else is so much harder than doing it for myself, as I have been with the different challenges [...]

Back from Beechworth
We have returned from our caravaning holiday to Beechworth, very relaxed but with no crafting done. I did manage to pick up some lovely old theatre programmes from a Bric-a-Brac store (everything else was too expensive to cut up or alter!). Beechworth is in northern Victoria, about 3 hrs drive from Melbourne. It is an [...]

since I’ve been around. Somehow working from home has left me with less crafting time, not more. Today I stumbled upon Julie Prichards YouTube art demos. Check it out! I have been an admirer of Julies work for some time and am wrapped she is showing off how she does it. I’m all inspired – [...]
