Turning Two

My youngest son turned two and was so super excited it was his birthday. We gave him a scooter which he loves, and I made him a super deluxe cardboard kitchen with three modular parts. A stove with turning knobs, a fridge with freezer and fridge section and a sink with cupboards under neath. He loved it and straight away made us all coffee and sausages for breakfast. 

Ikea Hacker

Wow this is so awesome a designer called Andreas Bhend has re configured Ikea products into way more wonderful out comes. Look at this table he has turned into a kids bike complete with instructions amazing!!!

I've been through the desert like an egg with no shell..

We found an egg with no shell in the hen house and I have to say its freaked me out a little. It was the strangest feeling seeing something so familiar feel so different. You could see the yolk through the membrane when you held it up to the light. It feels like some voodoo omen or something....what does it mean?

Frozen

Agh its winter here and it sucks. We are on our fifth week of asthma/croup crap-a-thon with children waking every 20 minutes literally all night with the most full on cough, poor things. This photo from Mount Royal Mint made me think maybe its not all so bad in the tundra, these animals are very sweet, I like their expressions.

Pet Dinosaurs

There is a massive demolition of an old tannery going on behind our house as the entire street on both sides is levelled to make way for apartments. It is literally shaking the house and my nerves, but I have to say there is something quite magical about having two pet dinosaurs in the back yard.

Kido

My cards and posters will soon be available in a wonderful store in Sydney called Kido. I am very excited. And I think we all need these slippers from their on line store to celebrate.

Mr Finch

I saw these fantastic textile sculpture by Mister Finch today.  I found it through the blog of another textile artist who has a shop called Little Love Blue. And how amazing is that life sized image in the first photo?!

Autumn Natural History Lessons

At the moment we have two little activities on the go which are enthralling. One is watching some slug eggs we found develop. We can see the little embryo's inside getting bigger each day. The other is some lentils we sprouted which have turned out to be surprisingly beautiful and we now have a miniature alien forest which seems to be thriving.

My sister is having an Art opening tonight at Red Gallery I am sure it will be fabulous.
