Hot Trailer Love <3.
Beautiful patterns and beautiful textures in my beautiful little trailers; "Princess Cupcake" and the well received "Pretty Blue and Pink Trailer". So nice to cruise through Pinterest and check out all the revamped trailers or caravans. I am sure it takes so much love and so very much money. And all the patience that I do… Continue reading Hot Trailer Love <3.

In my other pretend life, (the one with the beach house and the 2 golden retrievers) I have some of these in the lounge room and one or two on the way to the east wing...as you do! Amazing what colour can do, right? I have… Continue reading Some Chairs To Share…

Let’s Go On A Little Vacation!
Luggage means travel. When I see these old suitcases I just imagine the things they've seen and the places they've gone. Who owned them so many years ago? Who owns them now? Would the original owners be happy we have discovered new ways to upcycle these little wonders, truth be known they probably couldn't care… Continue reading Let’s Go On A Little Vacation!

Terra and Luna
Meet Terra and Luna. Together they truly are awesome, without one the other can't exist. I've just watched a fantastic doco on the Galapagos Islands with David Attenborough narrating. I'm only half way through but it's one of the best docos I have seen in recent times. His narrating just enhances the quality of this production. What an… Continue reading Terra and Luna

Well, ya get what you pay for, right?
Gotta love an old camera or three. http://www.etsy.com/shop/RubyCanoeDesign?ref=si_shop Cameras; they can capture some awesome images. And some not so awesome images. We're all in possession of a crap photo or two, the ones that were taken without the double-chin filter on the camera (product does not exist) or the photos with you posing in your… Continue reading Well, ya get what you pay for, right?

Top 3 Pin Up Gals

Heart of the Steam Machine
I think this rusty little fellow is my favourite. His name is Spencer and he has a great personality. Not a great personality as in...gee he's got a grreeeaatt personality, if you know what I mean...he just has. He is a little gruff at times, speaks is a low low slow slow deep voice. He moves… Continue reading Heart of the Steam Machine

Segal Visits Putin!!?? Huh?
I don't watch the news very often. For good reason. I really find it difficult to sit through the news. A little bit of death and destruction with breakfast anyone? I just don't find it a great way to start or end my day. I don't feel any smarter having watched the news, didn't learn… Continue reading Segal Visits Putin!!?? Huh?

It’s A Banner Day…Well It Was But That Was Yesterday!
Well it would have been a banner day today...if today was still today, instead today is now 1.20am (ish) and I have been trying to post something all day (not constantly, cause that would be bizarre). Then I had the bright idea to turn back time and use explorer...it is weird! Took me a good… Continue reading It’s A Banner Day…Well It Was But That Was Yesterday!

The wild eggs are in my front yard. We have rogue chickens. Yep rogue chickens, not chickens that are nonconformists, or are livin off the grid, just chickens that turn up in our front yard and lay eggs.

Wild Thing I thing I think I love you! “Oh, please don't go—we'll eat you up—we love you so!” I can't imagine there are many people who haven't read this book. When I read it I was Max and I felt sad and cranky to be in the room by myself, and before you know… Continue reading More Monsters, Wild Thing Monsters!
MONSTERS!!!!
Love the "monsters". Maybe we really shouldn't call them monsters, maybe they're just misunderstood. Drac just wanted a kiss and slipped, (albeit repeatedly)(clumsy?) bleh bleh bleh. Poor Godzilla must have felt lonely being so big, and those feet stepping on all those cars, well we all know how it feels to step on a lego… Continue reading MONSTERS!!!!
What To Draw and How To Draw It.
A little discovery I made on http://www.archive.org This is a small selection of the book, What To Draw And How To Draw It by E.G Lutz. I think these illustrations are just fantastic. If you have kids, these illustrations would be great for them to follow. I remember those "easy" to follow "how to" instructions,… Continue reading What To Draw and How To Draw It.
