Playing...

around in the garden.

Our red cannas look very Christmasy at the moment, I'm not sure if they will still be around in a weeks time.

Life is a constant rush at the moment, it's as though Christmas marks the end of time once and for all, everything needs to be done and everyone wants to you see just before Christmas.

It's no wonder so many of us go down in a screaming heap between Christmas and then suddenly we must celebrate the New Year!

Flea Market Finds

I found this cute little donkey at the oppie recently.

Apparently he would have once held servettes, he looks a bit grumpy but I think he looks happier with flowers.

For more flea market finds pop over to Sophies.

Thank you

Look what my Darling Sue made just for me and from Royal Winton no less!

They are fabulous and so comfortable to wear, I am not a big earing wearer but I just love these.

We were very lucky and survived the wild weather with only a power blackout and few minor leaks. We spent a couple of hours down the beach watching the amazing lightening show. 

After the Party

Well I'm not sure how many clothes lines look like this today but I had to wash everything from yesterday, eeing so wet and today so hot if I left them I'm sure there would be some weird chemistry experiment going on in the plastic tubs!

Our invite to Art @ The Hart arrived the day before we flew to Melbourne so there wasn't much time to prepare.

I had hoped to decontruct some clothes but with the limited time frame I only really managed to embellish some cardies. I was really pleased with the finished result and more important it was great fun to do.

With our continued theme of recycling, we covered our own coat hangers and made magazine paper bags.

I think a nap may be in order now! 

Melbourne

Now I'm going backwards!

We spent a few days in Melbourne last week mainly for the Head of the Yarra rowing but a bit of shopping never hurts either!

Nearly 200 extremly long row boats, eights, raced along the 8.5 km stretch of Yarra at timed intervals.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best for the end of November with lots of rain but Melbourne is always enjoyable.

We also spent some time at Federation Square and The Art Gallery.

Rabbits seemed to feature while we were there with this giant one and White Rabbit Ale, now I know what happened to Alice!

The Weekend

I've had a busy couple of weeks and the time has just flown by.

I have just returned from Art at The Hart a fabulous artists market held down at Port Adelaide.

Sue and I shared a space, you can't get much better than spending a weekend with your bestie. 

The lovely Christina dropped by with yummy treats.

  

Over the 2 days a local artist tried to complete this hugh canvas but Saturday was so hot the paint was drying too quickly and today it rained!

Thanks to everyone who dropped in to say Hello and to the organisers of a wonderful festival.
