fatty boom boom

I've always loved this tune, me and my kids sing it all the time, so when Die Antwoord released a 'Fatty Boom Boom' I was curious......
The original kills it!

Lucas Grogan

Ganim Store in Fitzroy looks fabulous, Lucas Grogan ever so kindly painted the window for the release of the Lucas Grogan & douglas & hope Artist plate.
These plates have been selling like MAD.
I sold out at Finders Keepers and Ganim store has already SOLD out and re-ordered.



Here is the Ganim store and some of Lucas's work in Hosier Lane, Melbourne.
You can purchase his plate online here

The things you find.....

After one year and numerous hurdles! my studio is finished and I am one very happy girl. Thanks to everyone who pitched in and made it happen.
So now I am in the process of moving everything in, and with some boxes having literally been buried under other boxes for a year it is interesting to see whats in there.
Today I found BUDGIE CUPS!!! YEAH
I thought they were all sold out, but today I found gold, 2 big boxes, un-opended full of budgies.
So to everyone who has wanted these guys, I have some!!!
Here are some progress pics.....

high tea and pom poms.... why not?

As part of Craft Victorias 'Craft Cubed' Festival,

I am putting on a sattelite event in Castlemaine.
It is a weekend of craft exhibitions and workshops, so bring your knitting needles, crochet hooks or anything else you may like to learn, as there will be CWA members and women from the local knitting group there to offer their expert advice on all things craft.

We are also putting on high tea, and there will be items for sale. So come for a drive to Castlemaine only 1 1/4 hours from Melbourne, have afternoon tea, immerse yourself in craft, and explore our little town.

It all happens on Saturday 25th August & Sunday 26th August
From 12-4pm

Castlemaine Botanical Gardens Tea Rooms
Walker Street, Castlemaine.
