Create an album cover meme...as spotted at Deanna Raybourne's blog. Not sure about the band name, Decapod sounds more like some sort of heavy metal thrash (so not my thing) to me. But I do like the image and the album title....maybe we should use Wikipedia for book...
And again
Apparently I am feeling sew-y today. This was quicker, maybe two hours and probably faster now I know how it's done. This is the Flea Market Bag by Grand Revival Designs. The fabrics are Amy Butler (Daisy Chain collection, I think). No messing around with this one, er...
Project for the day
I forgot to take my yoga mat with me to the Nia class yesterday and when I got home I realised I didn't have a mat bag as I've only ever used my mat at home. I'd seen a free yoga bag pattern on Amy Butler's site (the Nigella yoga mat bag), so I decided to give it a...
Shaking it up
I've been pretty good with the exercise lately, getting in four sessions a week on the old elliptical trainer and sweating along with Coach Sean plus doing once a week pilates but for awhile now the girls have been thinking "some dance would be fun". Actually they...

Hot like a hot thing
Not much to say about this week except it has been hot like well, a very hot thing. Four days of 40, 43, 44, 46 (something like 100, 110, 110, 112) with hot nights. Melbourne's train system and now the power system has gone into meltdown (we're on rolling blackouts...
What I did on my birthday by the Orange Cat
Every year the human gets the day off work for my birthday. She reckons it's called "Australia Day" but I know it's International Day of Orange Cat Glory and must be celebrated appropriately. Firstly I woke up nice and early and woke the human up with a special...
I agree
