Such a hotch potch

 And didn't I get some odd auto-corrects with that title!

But it definitely sums it up. I have been working hard on my second book for the exchange with Annwyn, but because we are not posting much about the books until they have been received across the oceans, I have very little to show for my studio time.

There are however, some fragments of this, that and other.

My Dad is involved with a Shrove Tuesday (pancake) event on Valentine's Day and in a rather brilliant and creative venture on his behalf - he asked if I had any heart shaped cutters which he thought he might be able to make pikelets in. And here was the selection I offered him... the adventure has begun.

I am participating in an exhibition in a regional gallery in March; and need to have three shelves to display my work. So here I am at my best, literally cutting and pasting to see the best display options.

B and I walked past this after having a coffee in Caloundra. On closer inspection we discovered it was actually a bandaid and now I want to find me some of them!

B and I joined forces to create these displays for my lovely cousin's optometry business. B's blogpost has the details.

My highly sophisticated book press - with thanks to Liz for the Dewey book (so great to delve into; and to grab when needed for other purposes).

Testing the beginnings of book number 2.

B had a birthday a week or so ago and the deck was decked with twinkle lights and peace...

Life is full and life is varied.

  1. I had to laugh at "very little to show" as I made my way through this post ... what a lot of fun stuff!

    of course, I did have to look up pikelets, and more laughter as that's pretty much what I've been making all these years ... back in my teens I was a pancake house waitress and they were called silver dollar pancakes on the menu

    the optometry display is so sharp and I love that the Dewey Decimal book has turned out to be useful

    last, but not least ... glory be, I found the Peace Love bandages on Amazon and put a box in my cart!
