Gettin' busy with it

Well, I don't even have time to blog, and as we all know procrastination is the thief of time.

But screw that. Here's the newest creations that, as soon as I get a spare second, will go to Blackbird Corner.



A rainbow bunch of flower buttons, and a little Hearty Brooch

Also, Im delighted to have stumbled across a new penpal! I can't wait to send her my zine, and some lovely letters!! :D

Glove love

This is me... (the middle one) and two of my kiddie friends playing dress ups. I'm styling a vintage vest, some kind of hat, and delightfully red lipschitk. I think this was the visit to their house where I knocked over a bottle of red nail polish onto their doona cover...

Sticked.

As i was walking from Uni to my car in the bleakness that was this afternoon I was very nearly hit by a stick.

"A stick" you may ask....

Yes dear friends. A stick. A rather large stick.

I was merrily walking along, reading Strawberry Hills Forever and delighting in how very well Vanessa Berry writes, when a car drove past.... and it's spinning wheels flicked up a big stick that came a-crashing down just next to my head. JUST missing me.

Shocked, I swore, turned around to see a few people staring, and quickly turned back to the path I had been walking along.

This, my lovelies has taught me a dear dear lesson: I will never find anybody who can give me a clear and compelling reason why we observe "Daylight Saving Time."
