Hello dear blog and anyone out there who might be reading my very irregular posts, so far I have not had much to say here this year. I have just finished a job that has kept me busy for months and I'm cleaning up my head space and starting to get excited for new and fun things to do in 2012. For the moment I'm going to post some blissfully excessive candy wonderland pictures by Australian artists Pip and Pop.

(Thank you Mel Stringer for introducing me.)

We got half way through our great road trip and decided to stop moving. Living out of a van was fun and it definitely has its moments but we gradually got sick of endless driving and over crowded seaside caravan parks. So we made it to Sydney, said hello to Mum and Dad and Grandma, then turned back down the coast.

We found somewhere with a lovely beach and a beautiful lake, and booked ourselves into a tiny little house to sit and gaze at the view. Now it feels like a holiday. We are doing nothing.

I love doing nothing every now and again.

Happy New Year!

We are driving up the east coast of Australia and this is our little house for the next couple of weeks. I have no idea where we will get too... just beach hopping, following the sun.

Hello 2012 x Peace OUt. Be chill xx Love xx x etc... !

Happy Christmas!

(Or whatever it is you're up to this weekend, I hope it is happy.)

Thank you for visiting me this year, whether here at this blog, over at my shop, or in real life at an exhibition or open studio, I really am so grateful. You are wonderful, excellent, kind and generous. I know, absolutely, that I wouldn't be able to do what I do without that support. So yep, yay, thank you, thank you!

If you came to our open studio on the weekend, thank you! I talked to lovely people for 6 hours straight! It was excellent.

Thank you.

I am having an open studio! Cat Rabbit, Andrea Innocent, Isobel Knowles and I, plus our neighbours Miso and Ghostpatrol will be opening our doors for you to come and have a peek. You are most welcome! There will be things to look at, things to buy and possibly even a bake sale.

Open Studio and Sale
Saturday 10 December :: 11 - 4pm
Studio 3, Level 3, 329 Little Collins Street Melbourne.

(I will have original art, prints, calendars, tote bags, gift cards and button badges available. Come and say hello!)

Have you seen this movie Bill Cunningham New York? It is wonderful, you should really watch it.

Button badges are here! There are three different sets and you can find them in the usual spot if you'd like to take a look:

Thank you!

I have a pool. It's called Paradise Lagoon.

I'm making 1 inch button badges for the shop and this is what they look like before they get squashed into the badge machine.

I want to eat them.
