Family & Friends

I'm happy tonight. I have a week and a bit of leave ahead of me (that's why the dog is smiling!), I have a full complement of resin, to 'glassify' my collages, waiting for me on the dining room table, and I nabbed some cute clothes from the op shop (and shopping last week).

Adorable Alannah Hill "End of the Affair" jacket, and a cute skirt to go with it. All to be worn with my new shoes. I went out to buy some Fluevogs (circa $400) but they didn't fit me - I have a long second toe and take a size 10 (and not all Fluevogs go to 11) - stopped at the Wittner Factory outlet in Richmond on the way home and found these - pictured above.

I loved them the minute I saw them, they fit, and (on sale) they cost me less than 1/10th of the Fluevogs. For a girl that struggles to pay full price/spend big money on anything that was a big win for me. I still love the Fluevogs but I'm going to have to wait until I need/want something with a pointy toe.

My last three shoe purchases have been Wittner - I'm actually becoming quite a fan of theirs.

And about that long second toe... it's actually a sign of aristocracy and great intelligence (or that you're a serial killer - but I'm not providing links to any of that!)

Just got on a roll with updating my blog and then suddenly I got busy again. Got lots of news, but until I sort my photos out I won't tell. For now please enjoy these 3D postcards - I'm not sure if they're lenticular if they don't 'move'...

Postcard Set

It's my birthday sometime this week (Sunday?), but you get the gift. I'm giving away a set of my original postcards. All I want from you is answers! And the question is "how did you get here?" and if you answer "when a man and a woman love each other very much..." you're automatically disqualified :-)

The winner will be drawn on Sunday using a random number generator -Random.org (or the coin flipper if numbers are down!). Make sure I can contact you some way if you're the winner. Add a comment

So, a few weeks ago I asked my beloved to go forth and supervise the purchasing of a Goldfish to put in the tank vacated by our Christmas Hermit Crabs. Sadly, each of our crabs, except one, died after moulting. The last crab went to live with another family who had three crabs already - they prefer to live in groups so I felt mean keeping him (her?) on his own.

Anyway, Guy duly set out with our oldest son to procure said goldfish and returned with $300 worth of tropical fish, pumps, lights, tanks, bubblers, plants, etc and so forth.

We have now successfully done away with 4 Angel fish (my favourites), 4 Neon Tetras, 1 Guppy, a Rummy Nosed Tetra, and a bristle-nosed catfish.

However, we have also successfully bred our first group of Guppies. We didn't even twig that all our Guppies were pregnant until a few days ago and now we have fry!

Guppies Birthday

I expect we'll see more of these over the next few days as we have three females and one very annoying horny male.

I'm considering asking for my own kitschy purple pebbled, neon planted tropical tank for my birthday to have another go with the angel fish.
