Miss Complainy Pants

Today I'm not a nice person.
My throat hurts.
My new flat has a million things broken in it and I'm moving in tomorrow morning.
My cat seems to be injured.
The bin men didn't collect my garbage on Monday.
I feel uninspired.
I have to pack up the whole house into boxes tonight.

Pass the whiskey.
(Oh right, I have none, someone drank it all at my house cooling...)

Real Simple

Yay!
I'm featured in this month's issue of Real Simple as a contributor!
Go check it out!

Matjiesfontein

I'm so excited about this years Matjiesfontein show n tell, it'd being held over the same weekend as my birthday! Even though it's only in October, but entries are open to book!!
Go over to the Matjiesfontein blog to see my video I made as well as what the show n tell is all about.

Journal Covers

These are my journal covers from my teens, I used to write all the time and now I've just stopped completely! These have inspired me to get back into the swing of things.

Mozambique

Yay!
My house mate and I are taking a trip to Mozambique.
And this is a cool image.

Gary Thomas and Miss Texas 1977

Two of my favourite bands are playing at the Deer Park cafe next week Friday (24th April)
It should promise to be a fantastic night out.

I really like the poster..reminds me of this artist...who's name I don't know

Oh my oh my!
Look at this beautiful

Moffat Stove

(I just copied and pasted that and it looks nice...so I'll leave it all big like that..)
Anyway, it's for sale at R8000 on the Gumtree here.
If i had that kinda cash hanging around, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Beautiful...

Moving

Leila and I are moving out of our home at the end of the month and so we thought we'd have a little house cooling to send housey off...
I hand drew the type for the invitation.
Which reminds me, I suppose I'll have to make a going away window message!!

Making Magic

A couple of weeks a go someone dropped a letter into my post box!
There was a note saying how much tey loved my window messages as well as a poem by Michael Leunig. Then, I put a "Thank You" message up in the window and the other day I received another letter, this one with an intensely illustrated envelope and a little paper cut of my cats sitting in the window!! I love it, it also had a full page of long hand writing of another poem!! All to do with magic.

Thank you window adrmirer!!

In No Particular Order

I went to the "In No Particular Order" opening the other night at Hello Again and I bought a "Make Stuff" tee, another t-shirt by one of the featured artists as well as an illustration of a whale hunter by Michael!

Here is a pic of the tee I bought and one of me getting excited about the featured work with Michael.

Nin, next door to Blossom

There's a great little shop that's opened on the other side of the Blossom house, it's called Nin and they have some realy beautiful handmade stuff there.

EAT at Blossom

Eat happened last week Friday.

I got pissed on Pimms and sat in a chair at the entrance greeting everyone with a jolly smile.

Recipe Books

Last night, I hand drew and painted these recipe book covers.
I've had them laminated and bound and they'll be on sale at the EAT exhibtion at Blossom this Friday!

Hope to see you there!
