Trio of jars...


My makeshift painting area...

This is a painting I recently did for one of my lovely friends who was married not long ago. She loves yellow so I did an arrangement of yellow ginger jars and a blue/white one also which she loves also. I haven't had much time for painting lately but now that my studies are over for the year I am hoping to do some more - it is my 'time out' from the world and I enjoy it thoroughly. I am thinking about what I could paint to go above my new pink chairs...

My chairs are back...


...from the upholsterer and look fantastic! I am so happy with them and they really brighten up our living room. Working on cushions {that one is not staying}, artwork etc now so that the room will look a little more finished :-)

Frilled to bits...


As soon as I saw this this gorgeous picture in the October issue of Living Etc magazine I fell in love!!! Everything is so perfect - the all white scheme, black & white stripes, claw foot bath, the stunning pendant light, the glimpse of my favourite mirror, the pedestal basin.... not to mention the frills!!!! Ok, I'll stop now :-)
This one will be in the favourites file for ever I think.

Hooray...




I spent last week finishing off my final assignments for the semester and then had a lovely weekend in Cairns with my family. After having my final class for the year last night and handing everything in, it was like a huge weight had gone.... What on earth will I do with my nights now after work? Get organised for Christmas I think!!!!!! I have bought a heap of magazines and will sit down with some old ones also for some inspiration. No time like the present {pardon the pun} :-)

Artist's residence...





This studio & living space belongs to Janet Green, a ceramic artist from New Zealand. Something really caught me with these images - I love the quirky touches, the shots of colour & all the different materials / textures used. Another great find from here.
