HAC circles...


There have been a few questions about my giant circle drawing.

I just used the biggest circle we had in the house (which happened to be a footstool). This wasn't quite large enough so I extended it by taping a pencil to a glue bottle. Then as I moved the bottle around the footstool...hey presto greylead circle.

My creative space...


We all know how much I enjoy the teeny tiny.

Today I'm having a crack at a GIANT hexagon.

In order to draw it up I've used a circular footstool & that glue bottle with the pencil taped to the side.

If you were dying to know about last weeks cutting creation...cookie cutters.

Teasing...


Just a little glimpse of something utterly beautiful that I purchased at the antique shop a few weeks ago. 1950's & yep "made in japan".

I'm going to try & make my own...it's musical & it's good.

Thumbs up...


I love these teeny tiny pieces of art by clever unbecoming lily.

It's prompted me to drag out my little embroidered swing coat from last year & do something with it.

I've been so loving sharing in jeanamarie's homework assignments for her course. I mean just look at this lemon ...so good!

I'm pretty seriously considering enrolling. That's my kind of school work.

For the love of a small boy...



Our kids are masterchefing it with the best of them. They love it!

The Date & I prefer UK but are both enjoying the enthusiasm from the kids. We all watch together each night. The whole experience is much more pleasurable if watched in conjunction with this.

The small boy has been very patiently waiting for chocolate souffle. I'd promised for last night so had to deliver.

I used this recipe from the cook & the chef.

It didn't rise above the ramekins but I think that's because I followed the instructions & only 1/2 filled. Next time I'd do 2/3 full for this recipe.

Needless to say they were a huge hit.

Shall I compare thee...


to a summer's day?

Everytime I visit Rummage the sun seems to be streaming in Nan's windows. Her place is so lovely and light & I find myself constantly comparing! My current place is pretty dark...I'm always longing to feel the sun streaming in my windows.

Today it did...it streamed right in my north windows & lit up my Rummage haul.

No doubt Melbourne will plunge me back into the depths of wintery grey tomorrow & I'll really be needing that scarf!
