A quick update while little Ari is once again asleep! I haven't quite finished the Pierrot painting yet - but it's getting very close. I've been doing little bits on it each night. While I'm painting I'm also coming up with more and more ideas for other paintings...=)
You may notice that my eBay store is EMPTY at the moment. All of my jewellery listings are temporarily on pause while I'm focusing on my painting for about a month - after this they will all magically REAPPEAR! (Along with some new art!)
Hopefully I might start on a new piece tonight. We're also getting ready for Dad's 50th on the weekend! Lots to organise...
Ciao for now.

Hello!
Well it's raining outside today - which is beautiful. It's also obviously had an effect on Ari because after a long morning of constant whinging (probably because of her teeth coming through) she has slept for the past couple of hours! Which has meant that I've been able to update a couple of things and do a little bit of work on the Pierrot painting. It's still not finished, but here's an update:


Tarn's Bridal shower on the weekend went down well and she got lots of lovely pressies! I think everyone liked the Rocky Road I made too. Anyway, I might try and get some more painting done before Ari wakes up!

Morning!
I had a nice relaxing, although productive, weekend. Yesterday I painted while watching trashy tv which was awesome. Probably the tackiest show we watched was "Paris Hilton's British Best Friend" - which is so so lame but quite addictive!
Here's a couple of work-in-progress pics of a commission I'm doing at the moment:

As you can see, still plenty to go, but it's coming along ok.
This morning I've got a ton of jewellery orders to get off and then I'll get some time to paint again this afternoon hopefully...
Ciao!

So it's Saturday today. It's also the last day of Summer. Part of me thought that we should hang out at the beach today, but we were feeling a little too relaxed, so we hung around at home for the morning, and then went down to print some photos & do some grocery shopping this afternoon. Ariella was such a good girl the whole time! Tonight I'm spending a couple of hours getting jewellery orders ready because (as always) I'm trying to get some more actual painting time next week.
I've got a couple of new jewels in my eBay store - with new ones added every few days. A couple of my faves are shown below. You can click on the pics to go to the listings. The gold bow has proven to be a favourite already - I've had the silver bow in my store for a while now, so I thought I'd get some gold ones together too - and they seem to be popular. They are very cute...

I have a bit of a headache tonight. I might go take some paracetamol... =S

It's Friday the 13th - Lucky or Unlucky?
Well tonight I've added a couple more new jewels to my eBay store - you can go to the listings just by clicking on the photos below:


My Grandad would've been 81 today...
We just finished watching "Slum Dog Millionaire" - it was pretty good! I can see why it has been nominated for awards. It's an interesting movie. I can't wait to see the new Penelope Cruz movie....Cristina Something Barcelona...? I'm not a Penelope Cruz fan but I've heard rave reviews and it sounds like it would be right up my alley!
It's Valentine's Day tomorrow! Yay! I hope everyone has a fantastic day filled with love no matter where you are and who you're with.

Here's a peek at some of my new stuff on eBay: (You can click on the photos to go straight to the listing)

Oh yes - i LOVE pink if you haven't noticed.
It's been SO hot here today. Luckily, I've had the pleasure of relaxing in the air conditioning and starting a new painting...i'll post pics as soon as it's had a bit more work done. it's 25cm x 30cm x 1.5cm...so rather small but with some intricate details in it.
I might be going to DFO tomorrow...I'll wait & see how it pans out...
Night!

my heart goes out to the people of Victoria today and their families....we've had the worst fires ever here in Australia and there have been over 100 people killed so far, with over 700 homes destroyed. it's incredibly tragic, and scary that it all happened so fast. it seems surreal that i'm sitting there on the couch watching the news with dad, who is wrapped up in bandages because of his burns, and they are talking about the number of burns casualties down there also. i can't imagine how horrific it must be.
this morning i dropped into the little homewares shop near the drs while dad was getting his burns re-dressed and found tarn a perfect bridal shower gift. i won't mention what it is yet, but I'm sure she'll like it.
other than that, i was SO tired today that I fell asleep on the floor next to Ari and slept for 2 hours! the joys of being a mum. =)
i also spoke to wade and he's in melbourne at the moment, safe and sound. he said they saw a lot of haze as they flew into the city this morning, but it's not too bad.
i have some new jewels in my eBay Store...i'll post piccies on here when I get a moment. Until then you can check them out HERE
so now i've got some much needed work to catch up on....
until next time...
