Love in the post!

My wonderful order from Tasha | Artist & Pin Queen arrived last week and I'm thrilled to bits. Not only is the latest bundle here, but I was fortunate to win a lucky surprise pin. It's a microscope called "Inquisitive" and I feel SEEN!

What weird and whimsical stuff is making you happy this week?

Supporting small, local and female-led businesses is a priority of mine, but these two incredible leather workers make this a pleasure of a priority.

In Hobart? Go to
Anywhere else? Get online, or to craft festivals. Repurposed saddle leather, new leather belts, bags, dog collars and leads - custom orders can be negotiated too.

I am a therapist. I cannot begin to explain to you how enraged and appalled I am - notes and medical history should remain confidential.

Just completed the Grinda shawl for a friend using Scheepjes Brambleberry from . What a ride! I learned new crochet techniques and took a break from my usual knitting.

I use fibre art and crafts to decompress from Grieg support work.

Feeling quite chuffed with this beauty. What are you making at the moment?

I've done it.

Four complete shows of My Mum Died - RUDE! 3 at Adelaide Fringe festival, one last night in my local Deloraine Little Theatre.

I'm so incredibly proud of myself for seeing this project through to completion. Based on weekly video diaries uploaded to social media for the year following my mother's death, the audience responses have been generous and affirming. Dubbed "a hidden gem" and with a standing ovation at I had a big crowd last night and many stories from audience members as well as very interesting questions during the Q and A afterwards.

Last night's performance was filmed, so stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you Greg and Tim for back of house sound, video and lighting, Cheryl and Glenis for front of house greeting and fabulousness, Tessa for ambrosia coffee in a challenging kitchen, and Greg and Francoise for feeding me.
