Thorny devil earrings off to their new home! I do love making earrings for people who so obviously love our quirky wildlife too.

I kind of love this new piece. I made a little piece of Ocean Jasper into a frog and set him upon a moon. Sometimes you just have to embrace your whimsy.

I cast on a sock in between farm work. Anne Hanson's acorn pattern. I am having so much fun knitting this sock.

I've had a thought for about ten years and finally decided to have a little fun with the thought. So I made up a little imprint for myself. Or really, in honour of Wee Davie, the bestest boy whom I dearly miss. There'll be more news down the track.

I honestly didn’t know cattle had dust baths till I headed down to the dam with the boys and they began to have the time of their lives.

Today on my walk around the farm, I collected four-leaf clovers.
Once upon a time, I found four-leaf clovers everywhere, but then for years, not a one. I like to think this means magic is returning.

I opened my email this morning to a rejection of one of my short stories. I went ‘baaaaaaa’
I am now counting rejections in ‘rejection sheep’
I even drew my own.

This morning on the farm I stumbled upon an ancient hobbit hole.
It could be a good fixer-upper.

My office today! I’m at 9000 words on the Prince Charming biography I’ve been planning to write for ages, so I should have enough to send out into the publishing world soon.

With my silversmithing hat on, may I introduce you to a pair of the cutest earrings I might have ever made?
And their legs are on rivets, so they can kick their flippers up!

It's a little vegetable patch in an old chicken coop, but we have peas, broad beans, silverbeet, kale, cabbages, swedes and onions growing there. And the flowers help with the pests and bring in the bees.

I was busy writing, when I heard the flap of a wing and discovered a butcher bird checking out my sewing table.

I adore that Stella Gibbons is having little arguments with the publishing industry in her novels. In The Matchmaker she breaks off suddenly into such a rant. She then puts in another parenthesis and continues, as though nothing happened. This, this is why she is one of my favourite novelists.
