Almost 2009

I made a calendar.




If you like the look of it, and would like one to hang on your wall all next year (or give it to someone you like), email me: magter[at]optusnet.com.au

14 cm x 29.7 cm $17 plus postage (Aussie dollars. A bargain if you live o/seas!).

For Pip

Oooh, Aaah, Eeee!

I'm being featured on Craft City Melbourne!

I am very excited and a little nervous.

There's even a pic of (some of) me.

I Done Made Soap

The unsliced logs. Top is Indian Chai with cardamom (ground and whole), and all the chai'y essential oils (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger and black pepper). It smells just like a warm creamy mug of its namesake -- mmmmmm! Bottom is coconut which is made using extra virgin coconut oil, and it smells very toasty and beachy.

Love both of these. I will be listing them in my Etsy store when they cure at the start of October.

Next in line is a mint-aniseed blend which is the freshest most energising scent I think I have ever smelled (can't wait to make it, and more so, use it), and the classic springtime scent of Lily-of-the-Valley. I am May-born, and that's my flower. Another divine scent. Yummy yum! I love soaping!

Illustration Friday: Clutter

Not finished, but I've run out of time, and didn't want to fill the spaces with just anything. I guess it's cluttered enough to qualify.

Illustration Friday: Memories

Because I wanted to avoid cheese, and didn't want Barbra Streisand's mug on the second page of my sketchbook. It's a bit cryptic.

Illustration Friday: Routine

Too late to submit -- last week's topic, but wanted to draw this one.

The legs are too short! Ran out of room :-) The first pic in my brand new sketchbook.
