Look what arrived on my doorstep today...ok, so it didn't actually arrive on my doorstep, I did have to go and get it from the post office, but you get the idea.

But its cool hey!! Check me out on page 185..

Not too bad if I do say so myself!!

The Handmade in Melbourne book can be found at in.cube8r on Smith Street in Fitzroy and selected bookshops. It hosts 200 creative artists from around Melbourne.

And this is my page... What do you think?? COOL HEY!

I know, I do appologise... I have been very slack on the blogging department. I can't even use the excuss of lots of massages... I think its the weather!! Anyway, I'm back and will be giving you lots of goodness in the next little bit!!

Check out this blog I found.. SkunkBoyCreations. How gorgeous are these dear little owls, I think I may need to purchase one... I found them here.

I love the postman!!

Look what turned up Thursday!! I received a big bundle from the fabulous Shannon Lamden aka Aunty Cookie.

I can't wait to start cutting and sewing.  Will only be cutting for a little while as I took my sewing machine in for a service... What am I going to do without my sewing machine?? I really didn't want to part with it, but thought 'its now or never' and I do want it to last a while.  I do have the overlocker, so I can still accomplish quit a lot without it.

At the moment, the material is just staring at me, but it looks so good in a bunch, that I don't want to separate it.

Oh well, I better stop procrastinating and start doing something if I'm ever going to be ready for these markets.  Did I tell you I got into 2 markets.

Trip to the big smoke!

I don't usually take weekends off, being a massage therapist in a tourist town you can't really afford to.  but it has been quite a while since I have had a whole weekend.  So I headed down to the BIG smoke Melbourne with some friends. 

On Saturday we did some shopping at DFO at Southern Cross Station I usually shop at Chadstone however this place rocked!! We ended up spending quit some time there, and saved some dosh, can you believe it $15 jeans and they're quit dressy. 

We went out to dinner at The Keilor Hotel I think thats what it was called.  And it was pretty damn good too.. I had the Lamb Curry, the lamb was just falling apart which was awesome.  One of the girls had Pumpkin Gnocchi, now I've always liked gnocchi, but this was amazing... I am definitely going to have to master this one, they were oh so fluffy and tasty.. Its making me hungry just thinking about it and I have already had dinner, thats how good it was!

On Sunday Morning we went to The Werribee Zoo.

Me posing with the statues

How cool is this water fountain... isn't it just the greatest

Ok, so they're not real, but how cool are they anyway !!

Wow, how many times did I say 'how cool' sorry bout that will try not to do it again!!
