Circuses. I went to a circus once and it was, well, just depressing. But yet theres something I love about them. Maybe its the fonts that are used? Or men with curly moustaches. It could be the strip...
I dont think its possible to distill the profound intricacies of emotion into a card. Sometimes the more words, the less impact. My cards are usually humorous and a bit quirky and I try to capture ju...
About a hundred cards to fold, fit with an envelope and seal in a cello bag. At least 20 brooches to finish and more to make... It must be market time.

Im not much of a swearer. At least not of the standard four-letter-word variety. I like "bloody" and "bastard" and "bummer" - although strictly speaking that last one isnt rea...
Jake started school yesterday. I feel a bit bewildered. Where have those precious years gone?
All of my kids enjoy a special bond with my mum and Mr 5 is no exception. Isnt love such a wonderful gift?!
I didnt imagine I would be taking my children to see a Martin Scorsese film - at least not for some time - and yet last night Mr Neat and I took Miss 10 and Mr 8 to see Hugo, a movie that I...
Ive just finished reading one of Miss 10s Christmas presents. Its called The Mysterious Benedict Society and is the first in a trilogy. Its about four particularly gifted children and how they m...
Weve just had a lovely week at Forster with my lovely brother and his gorgeous family. Of course I forgot to take my big camera with the fancy lenses. But I did remember my handy waterproof number - ...
Im not sure why but the new year seems to afford more possibilities for self-examination and change. Of course we can strive to change at any time of the year, but now seems like a good time to ...
Mr Neat has a knack for finding bargains. We have a collection of boogie boards picked up at Vinnies or council clean ups. When I was growing up, boogie boards were prohibitively expensive. Now, peop...
Its a new year and for me its the year of the dreaded significant birthday.I dont really mind turning forty but I have come to the sudden realisation that I am now actually a grown up and I have sudd...
Theres nothing I really *need* for Christmas. Although I could do with a drying rack in the kitchen. Married for 16 years and I still havent got around to getting myself a drying rack. Well I dont re...

Its all a bit of a juggle at the moment. Sick kids, busy work, disastrous house and a looming market. Ever get the feeling that youre doing lots of things but none of them particularly well.Any...
Gregorys directories have announced that they are no longer producing printed maps. Its all GPS now. Which is kind of sad. Gregorys were one of the earliest producers of street directories and m...
Ive made up some new card packs that will be going in the shop soon. They come in packs of four. $10 a pop.
What a week. I can always tell when things are busy by the dust tumbleweeds that gather near the corners of rooms and under doors and the creep of mould on the bathroom tiles. For the first...
Im doing a Mathildas Market on Saturday at Fox Studios. Its an inside market so I wont need to lug my shelter or tables. But I will be lugging some of these:
Well these little beauties were intended to be cufflinks... However a little misunderstanding between centimetres and inches (what is it with America?!) meant that they were, well, just too...
