Hidden Gems of Classic Cinema
Well I can't believe the year is almost over again. It really sneaks up on you doesn't? So many things can happen in a year. Births, deaths and marriages and all that goes in between. And every year a few of us leave it until the first of the year to change something about ourselves... Continue Reading →

Well school is ending here in Australia, for another year. The grade 12 "kids" finished up a few weeks ago, the grade 11's and 10's finished yesterday and I think most of the other grades finish this week and next week. This year has gone so fast, says everyone over 35. It certainly has. I... Continue Reading →
Spent a fair bit of time on this and I love it. The carriages are little bird houses tied with red ribbon. Just posted it on my facebook page, I just wish that I could have taken some outside shots of this but mother nature had some other ideas. We have just had a... Continue Reading →
Well, I took the plunge a few hours ago and finally used the OHP transparencies I had bought last week. I was terrified that the transparencies would ruin my laser printer...my new laser printer at that too. So I hummed and harred (is that really a word?) for about an hour, loaded the feed with...

Have I told you lately that I love you..oh Silhouette Cameo machine how I love thee. Can't wait to see what this looks like in a frame.

A koala, you don't see koala's everyday..but when you do they are so bloody cute! I wouldn't pick one up though, have you seen their claws? I am very lucky to live where I live. Yesterday I was saying goodbye to my little family, in the front yard, and just across our little street I... Continue Reading →
Just a few little goodies I've been working on during the week! Sold a few of each...well apart from the red heart, which I have done anything with yet, but it is just beautiful and I love it. I was thinking of just mounting it simply on some thick white card cut in the shape... Continue Reading →

I have found this machine to be wonderful, so far. The software is easy to use and the outcomes limitless. It's also great that... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I think there are just too many things in the world to do. I look at Pinterest and pin a billion things to the craft board, each one I am certain I will make today, oh and then something else, and then more. Curse you Pinterest! No I didn't mean that, sorry Pinterest I... Continue Reading →

No Source... 😦
Remember the days of the glass milk bottles? Clearly this week I have a thing for glass milk bottles...see yesterday's post. I remember the sound of the milko delivering the milk in the wee early hours of the morning, the sound of the bottles clunking together, waking me up... Just recently a local company has...

Here's some milk and lollies to get you through the night...Just so you know, the milk bottles were fantastic!

Year: 1973 Age: 38 Movie: 35th Morse code starts this concert. For about 15 or so seconds, morse code and when I heard that sound I would come running to see...Aloha From Hawaii. Elvis arrives in a helicopter greeted by fans and leis, leis that almost cover his head. While waiting for the concert to... Continue Reading →
Year: 1972 Age: 37 Movie: 34th Not the best documentary out of the four (68, that's the way, aloha). It's a mix of concert footage, behind the scene footage and old stuff from the beginning. We see Elvis hanging out with his buddy's and with his Dad. Fills in a few minutes with photo's of... Continue Reading →
Year: 1970 Age: 35 Movie: 33rd Concert and rehearsals. We get it all, including a few bloopers. During the first rehearsal footage Elvis looks ike he needs a good rest. He doesn't look bad, quite the opposite actually, he just looks like he would really appreciate a good holiday. I am watching this with my... Continue Reading →
Year: 1969 Age: 34 Movie: 32nd We start this movie in a convent. Three nuns are chosen to travel to New York to try to mingle and live like normal people. Change Of Habit is sung over the credits...lead straight into Rubberneckin' oh yeah!!! And Elvis's hair is not combed back, we're headed into the... Continue Reading →
Year: 1969 Age: 34 Movie: 31st (I don't really understand this movie poster as the movie was set in the twenties and I don't recall Elvis having a gun in the movie at all). The Trouble With Girls (and how to get into it) starts off in black and white then changes to colour when... Continue Reading →
Year: 1969 Age: 34 Movie: 30th The armed stranger rides into town, and straight into your standard Mexican cantina. Jess Wade is tricked into coming to the cantina by those no good Hackett boys. Shots are exchanged and Jess takes cover behind you standard armoured card table. Jess is also wearing those leather cuffs/watch from... Continue Reading →
Year: 1968 Age: 33 Movie: 29th From the opening scene this is something you want to watch. Elvis standing there guitar in hand with the back drop of Elvis's in silhouette, belting out Trouble/Guitar Man. Pull out to the long shot of Elvis playing the guitar and finishing the song while standing in the iconic... Continue Reading →
Year: 1968 Age: 33 Movie: 28th Wow, a very different feel straight away. We are heading into the 70's here. Elvis plays Greg Nolan, a newspaper photographer, and the first scene is Greg driving along the road and then the beach in his dune buggy. Hair all messed up, not something you see in many... Continue Reading →
Year: 1968 Age: 33 Movie 27th Strange beginning, in that, there is a scene before the opening credits. The title track is really good, love it. The opening credits shows, what I presume to be, cameos by actual speedway stars (actually, I do recognise Richard Petty). Love the cars they are about to race. If... Continue Reading →
