helloo.....im still here....

just.... but i am.....what a busy and stressful couple of months. Stocktake is officially over and i am reclaiming my life back....first on the agenda is looking for a new job :]

weve had a few health issues too but things are on the up there too but it did make me take a restock of things and one of those is to get some more balance in my life...

ive had a little casual job too teaching on my day off over the past 7 weeks.... tie dying Tshirts and calico bags to celebrate Naidoc week.
i took these home to rinse , pretty good HUH?! the students are very happy and proud of themselves....hubby is going to screenprint a logo of the centre of the circle....



ive really enjoyed the teaching and am off to Echuca for 3 weeks of more dye stained hands only this time we be playing with silk scarves and art journal covers..

the Square Market has crept aound very quickly and ive just updated the pink possum blog so go check out my doily madness.... doily brooches..



and a pic of some atcs i made at Bacchus Marsh for lynne who has recieved them....i havent made an atc for nealy 12 months. now thats sad :(

more ornies....

I made these little ornies from some fabric paper i made earlier in the spring. Originally they were just going to be creams and golds , fairly neutral but they looked so bland i had to add some color! I flooded them with twinklings and added a conglomeration of glitter, clear utee, mica and gel meduim. Saw something similar that Tim Holtz did but this was my version!
I used a coffee mug to get the circle and added text to the top with little gold paint.
My sewing mchine, the marvelous PFaff [NOT!!] is being repaired [AGIAN] so a friend lent me one. Its a Husqvarna, new in the box after 12 years!!! Its a very basic machine but sews beautifully and it takes metallic in the top so i was thrilled. [i can only sew metallic in the bobbin on mine]
I find it very hard to believe that that you never have a need for a sewing machine in 12 years!!!

My scans are a bit wonky, sorry!!

I love the doily one. It was just this piece of doily that had the center pulled out....
