Summer has been nice this year. New books, sunshine, craft magazines, tomatoes, the beach, a tiny rabbit, even some knitting...

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 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, 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 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.

I have cards! I thought to myself it is definitely the right time of year for such a thing, so here they are. They have been professionally printed on heavyweight card stock by a professional gift card printing company. Yikes... they even come with their own envelope!
They are available right now, and there really is only a tiny amount of each (I'm just testing the waters of my future gift card empire), you can find them in the usual spot:
I have also invented a gift package, in case you might be thinking of gift giving, maybe even gift giving to yourself. It includes my 2012 calendar, a tote bag and a gift card, all together, with a super impressive discount.
(To have a look just follow the link above.)

I'm in the garden a lot at the moment, it being Spring and all. I was thinking that with the amount of inner-city land we live on here in Australia it could be possible to live almost 75% self sustainably, simply from the backyard, urban style. That's my big plan at the moment. I have been busy constructing two raised veggie beds in addition to my existing veggie beds and this morning, in the rain, I built a compost area. I must admit I'm very happy with the whole lot... except sadly my little tomato plants, who are taking a bit of a battering in the wind today. I wish them luck.
Once the vegetables are up and running the next part of my plan is for chickens. Inner city style chickens! In particular Silver Laced Wyandottes...
Such beautiful ladies! Chickens are going to take a bit more planning but I'm hoping they'll be part of the action sometime in the near future.
For now though I will stick with seedlings and hope the wind blows itself away and not my tomato plants.
