On my table today is:

• Broken wings in need to some glue
• A new wallet needing to be filled with my pocket litter
• Some pretty floral fabric for a custom order from my first repeat customer!
• ...and most excitingly a fresh copy of Peppermint magazine....I love this magazine but hadn't managed to get this latest one yet...silly really because this one quite remarkably contains one of my owls - I had no idea he was in it until yesterday....this has made my week (well year actually nothing like a close brush with the uber-cool to put a spring in ya crafting step - and I have added some owls to my shop if your interested.

but....Canberra is de-frosting and the sunshine and two-digit outside temperatures beckon...creative things will need to occur after dark....

....you know...I started making toys just after my first child was born....and well....he never really showed much interest in them....it's not that he didn't like soft toys....he has a blablah lion that never leaves his side even now that he's a toddler.....he just wasn't into mine....

.....until recently....I made him a robot that he got a little while ago and seems to love....he requests that it comes to bed with him....but yesterday he spotted my first mini robot ...made for the plushteam fundraiser 5 minis for $5 for the next 5 weeks check it out if you like little softies... at $5 they are cheap!....

anyway he grabbed it and wouldn't let go....it rides around in a little trailer he has.....it didnt really bother me that he showed no interest in my toys...but now that he does it's nice to think that he loves them
