The above drawing, which I am far too proud of considering it could easily have been completed by a 5 year old. This delight was a product of crafternoon, a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon (Thank you, Tara, for the awesome word! Thank you, Julia, for the actual crafternoon).
The cleaning and organisation of my bedside table.
You should have seen how dusty it was, I would have taken a before photo, but I was too ashamed to show you all how disgusting it really was. I added the framed print and sorted my jewels into piles on plates, instead on the clump of tangled jewelry it used to be and voila it looks like new (I suppose you'll have to take my word on that...). I have recently been inspired by the amazing homes and studios on The Selby to make more of an effort in my own spaces.
So that was my relatively pathetic effort, I hope that all of your weekends were much, much more productive than mine.

such a pretty drawing! and never be ashamed of dust, it is an under-rated decorative feature indicating qualities such as mystery, absence, nostalgia, and better things to do than wipe surfaces.
Hi guys, do you want to submit something to a mail-art show happening in a garage in Yarralumla? The show's called 'feathering the nest' and you can submit whatever you'd like -- it won't be a conventionally hung show and so far we've received completed paintings/prints as well as random stuff like found papers and bags of hair...
see this link :
http://www.pechakuchacanberra.com/ for a brief explanation of the concept, and I'll send you an invite later today.
PS the deadline for subs is 27 March, but as the show doesn't open till the 4th of April we'll gratefully accept submissions till the 1st....
muchness,
S.
No worries! It is a great, great word. I am getting into the craft too - I busted out the knitting needles for the first time this year.
We should have a crafternoon some time!
I think a new post is in order, ladies...
