Pinterest is addictive! I could spend hours just looking at everyone's pins, finding new ideas, dreaming.....
I have gleaned some great ideas from Pinterest, and something that worked well was drawing on crockery with sharpie pens. Yes, sharpies! After leaving to dry for a day or so and then baking for an hour the drawing is permanent. Probably shouldn't scrub or pop in the dishwasher though. I've decorated a cup and saucer for a friend who's not well to cheer her up and now I'm looking for more stuff to draw on!

Yesterday was Australia Day holiday, a day to contemplate what it is to be Aussie, or a day to recover from the excesses of Australia Day itself? Mmmm, well hubby and I went to the big smoke, Newcastle, and ate Indian food, looked at a Viking boat, watched an American movie. All normal Aussie pursuits. But as a reminder of who Australia once was here is a pic of some amazing street art in Newcastle.

Blah, waiting for rain, 98% humidity, overcast, still, sweating profusely.
Moving day for daughter number 3 and her partner (and their 2 big dogs). Out of my granny flat and into their new house. Amazing how much stuff they have accumulated over 2 years. And how did it all fit into that tiny one bedroom flat?!
Sunday is moving day for daughter number 2 and her (big) dog. Out of the big house and into the granny flat. I'll wait and see how much stuff she accumulates!
Ahh, now I have a spare room! Mmmm, what to fill it with? I think my daughters (3) may have inherited the "accumulation of stuff" gene from me!
Whew, time to sit on the verandah for a while to cool down and write a report for my friend's on line arts zine www.issuu.com

Hot, hot hot, too hot to make stuff, so a blog it is!
Oh, and paint my toenails!
