An update for Lauren.
Mum’s friend Lauren reads my blog and I have now given my blog address to various friends and family as a way for me to get information out there without having to write a gazillion emails or spend all evening on the telephone.
Mum was much better yesterday (Tuesday) She still needed help to get in [...]
Ceramic decisions…
I fired a small kiln load of work recently and for the most part I was pretty happy with the results. I have been experimenting with my own homemade porcelain slip, mainly because the commercial porcelain slip is hideously expensive.
I decorated some tall cups with a black iron oxide slip mixture, which unfortunately turned poo-brown [...]
Blogher! Snogher! Schmogher!
Each year as the Blogher conference gets closer, I wish that there was something similar here in Australia. Given the low profile of blogging in Australia and the even lower financial returns, I doubt that a conference on the scale of Blogher would be financially viable.
But, that doesn’t stop me from thinking about the possibility [...]
Eggless fruit cake.
I was reading Mrs C’s blog the other day and her youngest son is allergic to eggs and milk. So I had a bit of a look through my favourite cook book and I found a recipe for an eggless fruit cake. I can’t remember if I have made this cake but all the cake [...]

A Ceramic update as well as other stuff. Like, possibly zombies
It feels like time is travelling at an impossibly fast rate. The days seem to be sneakily getting shorter (and not just because it is Autumn either.) I am sure that some days are conspiring with each other and managing to just vanish.
Pfffffttt!!!! Gone in a blaze of almostness.
Like Hello, it is Tuesday already. What [...]
chemotherapy,sour grapes and a bad back…
Lets get the sour grapes out of the way first. Shall we?
The winners of The Bloggies were announced last week and the winner of the Best Australian Weblog was, Girl With a Satchel. Congratulations to the writers of GWAS but if this webmag is representative of an Australian blog then Australian blogging is in very [...]
Feeling flat..
Flat flat flat.. Some days I wonder if it is the affects of this planet’s gravity that is doing my head in, or if I am just having an ‘old’ day..
A winner, A winner, Yay! Yay! Yaaaay!
I am skipping in circles and jumping up and down with excitement..
If Amy was here she would be giggling with me and asking, “Chase Amy? Chase Amy?” and I would chase her. I do a bad, zombie impersonation, (without the groaning and the blood and guts) but with ‘Duuur Duuum’ sound effects when I chase [...]
