Exploring Phillip Island & surrounds … rocks that look like whales, textures in everything, barnacles and lichens galore, fantastic galleries around every corner, antique & second hand shops in abundance, native plants and fabulous cottage gardens, Cape Barren geese in their hundreds, incredible beaches and scenery, great cafes… a girl could get used to this (as long as she puts her thermals on every morning)! But, after a bit of penguin spotting tonight I’m heading back to SA for 10 days before going back home and into the studio where fabric and supplies have been accumulating in my absence, waiting to be made into all the things ahead of Christmas.

To say I’ve accumulated some inspiration - and new skills - on this trip would be an understatement. Can’t wait to get back to the drawing board too, to see what comes out.

Thanks Victoria, it’s been grand.

More bits and pieces of work and works in progress from Woodland Alchemy, sculptural vessel wet felting with Dawn Edwards at Tafta including a little video of the entire class’s work at the end of the workshop. We all came in with different levels of skill (me: absolute novice!) and ideas and created an incredible variety of work. Such a fabulous break from everything that’s been going on for me for the past few months - wonderful creative medicine.
Also a few shots of the Geelong Grammar School chapel which was fantastic to visit and learn a bit about its history.

Cold cold cold and raining in Victoria today but had a wonderful wet walk through the Cranbourne Botanic Garden this morning. I wonder where those two women in front of me got those awesome umbrellas? 😝

Detail of my rock pool inspired felt vessel made in Dawn Edwards sculptural felting workshop Tafta
This is my second project for the week and I’ve just finished a third… my body isn’t going to forgive me in a hurry! I have pins and needles in both hands 😳
Just packing up to do now and tonight we all get to see what everyone else has made in all the other classes. Fantastic week all round.
Massages feature in my near future…

Having an amazing immersive experience at Geelong Fibre Forum Tafta doing Dawn Edwards sculptural felting workshop. Far from finished my first vessel … very much a work in progress so stay tuned …

Easel set up to the last, her departure was sudden and unexpected.

We all thought she’d live forever.

Now the missing her part of forever begins.

Beloved wife of Gary for 66 years, Mother to Diana, Jeanette and Robyn (Boo), Mother in law to Simon, Bill and Orlando, Grandmother to Lauren, Alice, Luke, Will, Dorian and Maeve and Great Grandmother to Aiden, Ivy, William, Teddy, Tayla, Harrison, Leo and Hannah.

In line with her wishes, there won’t be a funeral.

Thanks NTG for a public holiday so I could hit the sewing machine yesterday and sew like a crazy person all day.
New stock at The Local today & the website in the next couple of days. Message me if you’re after something specific as I don’t have huge numbers of any one design - and I’ll be ordering fabric again soon so I can print whatever you’re after..

Sometimes, life turns upside down in a moment.
Sometimes, it’s because it rained, out of season, and the steps are wet…

My son Dorian took a tumble. He’s been flown interstate to have his elbow put back together.
Meanwhile, I’m in The Local until further notice.
Less sewing, more chatting.
Pop in & say hello if you’re in Darwin.
Otherwise, keep saying hello on here.

Here’s some of my work around the shop.

Got time for a chat?
A cuppa?
A glass of w**e?
Don’t mind the tabletop... we’ve got a coaster for that! 😉

I’m excited to have these little beauties back at The Local in Parap (The Local). They had almost sold out, so it’s lovely to see them back on the shelves.

I design them here in Darwin, and they’re printed locally too. Just a little pop of colour and joy that can brighten an everyday moment.

What’s brought you a little joy today?

Have you noticed how the colour shifts in the Top End dry season?
Not just the foliage, but the quality of light.
Around dusk, out here in the bush anyway, the light is almost orange. It’s quite magical. I love going outside at that time of day. It’s like having a bath in colour.
Overall, the colours change dramatically from the vibrant greens of the wet season. The greens are more muted and the golds and browns are richer.
All the designs in these few slides reflect the colours that are all around us right now in the Top End.
The chestnut-breasted mannikins always come visit us for a week or two around this time of year. They perch on my back fence between raids on seeds from grass heads.
The cycads are heavy with seeds.
The snakes rattle through the dry grasses.
The mornings and evenings are cool and the days are hot and dry.
Some people say we don’t have seasons in the Top End. We have seasons. Just not the same seasons as everywhere else.
What’s your favourite season in the place where you live? What colours does it make you think of?
