another Etsy artist...
I've been seeing these wall decals around for a while now. There such a great and easy decorating idea. Pretty much a big sticker, but fully removable and they don't damage walls, as a renter I see there potential. ShaNickers is currently a feature artists on Etsy and one of the first artist producing these decals with a great array of designs and at a very reasonable price. Of course I was drawn by the branch and bird design.
But then this monkey caught my eye. What a great design for a child's room.
A different colour makes it work with the wall colour.
...and she does dragonflies... girl after my heart...
There is also a few of her decals available as chalkboards, what a great idea.
These designs range between $30 and $80 for a larger one like the tree loosing its leaves which is 1.6 metres high. They could easily transform a room yet a whole lot easier than painted on such a design as you just remove it. Visit her site for more designs and information.
*And thanks for the lovely comments regarding my last post!!!!!

a visual tribute to our house
With our re-location to Balllarat drawing nearer, we say goodbye to another house and head for our next home.
To quote a sexy and clever man - John Butler (and I'm sure a few others) - "..And i say Home..Home is where the heart is...yeah Home"
I'm a true believer that a home is what you make of it and has really nothing to do with the physical structure. However, you have to feel something towards your environment you've spent so long in, so here are a few new photos of my yard and a montage featuring colours of a few of the feature walls and lime green kitchen cupboards...
We will miss all those yummy apricots...
We will miss the golden elms shade in the summer...
I have a love/hate relationshp withe the array of weeds in our yard...
a visual tribute to our beatiful Golden Elm..

more holiday stuff...
More holiday photos.
Featured is Jon swimming and trying to body board.
Then some photos froma trip to Coff harbour to their Pet porpoise Pool. Its a very interactive dolphin and seal park, very conservations based. There were lots of animal being rehabilitated, like some very cute sea turtles. As part of the show Bain got to brush dolphins teeth, Jan and I had to hold a feeding pole for the dolphins to jump up at. It was amazing to see that the dolphins seemed to genuinely have a bond with the trainers, something that I think gets missed at a bigger park like seaworld. This was very up close. Anyway..
Also some pics of the Rainbow Lorikeets on the front deck of my folks house, Bain named one Chirpie - he was feeding him from his hand, also pics from cruising along the beach in Dads little 4WD Suzi, with the top down, very cool!!
So enjoy..

our holiday
Heres a slide show of some of our current holiday visiting my folks at Iluka, Northern NSW. Weather hasn't been all sunshine, only the odd day, but still not cold and still nice enough for beach play. I'm silly enough to go in the water mainly to do a bit bit of snorkeling. Also enjoying eating 'last night caught' prawns, yummy avocados off the trees at my folks house.
...I just love the coast..

Our first etsy sale!!!!
"2 items sold"
I thought it was a mistake at first, but I am so very excited to announce that we finally made a sale on Etsy!! It took a while, but with about 200,000 listings in the "art" category alone, its pretty good and its fairly easy money, seeings as the work was done for the exhibition anyway. The two pieces featured Carly's cute Gocco print (its a special home screen printing device nicknamed "Gocco") of the Hillshoist clothesline.
Its just great to get some feedback and something concrete that its worth having them for sale. And, fingers crossed, it gets the ball rolling.
and in other news...
I hope everyone is enjoying the colours of Autumn at the moment. I know it may sound a little dorky/corny to some, but I find it quite beautiful - and thought I'd share some pics from my own backyard which is a mass of yellow, mainly on the ground now.
