Rod (my husband) was dressing baby Suki.

Rod: Rhody please pass me Suki's shirt
Rhody: There's no shirt here Daddy. Only a 'shirtskirt'.

I remember wearing skirt-shorts as a kid but I've never heard of the 'Shirtskirt'. Have you?

Reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones

It was so lovely to see Chrys again the one with the champagne Chrys is an artist friend if you have a closer look she is holding a cookie cutter dressed in a handmade cover which is a knitted vagina shhhh! did someone say vagina hehehe!! yes! Chrys will be exhibiting her Domestic Goddess collection at Artisan's Fortitude Valley on October 9th 6-8pm it's sure to be naughty but nice come along you have to see it to believe it. Chrys bought along her 3 lovely friends fashion designer Yeshim and her daughter princess Alara and Jewlery designer Yvonne it was so lovely to meet you all. Chrys was also lucky enough to win 2 of the raffle prizes which she generously shared with her friends. See you at the next bad meeting Chrys xx

I also caught up with another lovely artist friend Silke Savran (who also generously donated some handmade beauties) and her daughter princess Maya. Silke just started a new contract with Queensland Rail working on a public arts project. Checkout the beautiful butterflies on her blog. Silke is also exhibiting new work in a group show called "Gentle Persusion"along side Laney Robinson and other artists at Perculator Gallery on August 23rd 6-8pm definately worth a look.

Packaging Wendy Susan

Now that I have packed her up looking at it all packed away neatly in a box I feel as though this has been the last 3 years of my creative life. ideas, wool, photography, graphic design, artwork and it's all in this little box. Finally in some kind of order.

Thanks Alyssa for this wounderful opportunity it has given me direction and a renewed sense of purpose.
