fleur wood takes mylee grace from flower drum temporarily


Mylee has gone all Dolly Parton, with her blonde hair and shes working 9 to 5�
Im not happy about it. AT ALL.  HOWEVER, where is she now staging place is soooo cool, 
it makes me think that maybe im not mad, maybe im a bit jealous. 
You can find her belting out your old favourites Jolene AND My Tennessee Mountain Home at the beautiful Fleur Wood pop up shop in Avalon. Pop in on a Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday and give her hair a pull, its not a wig.

cool stuff and tanqueray

Being inspired to do things for no particular reason takes up a lot of time.
The other day, I started making this thing. It was looking really cool. And then I thought, what am I going to do with this cool looking thing? It's sort of getting dark now.. And I have no use for a jungle archway. So I started to make this other cool thing.. a delicious drink.
I feel a bit sad that I never finished the cool thing, its just lurking around now, sort of dead and kind of beautiful.

Got 20 bucks?


Get the garden looking good and dead just in time for Christmas.  Ozzie drew this, and I think it was inspired by mylees new found love for lawn mowering. shes absolutely crazy about it.

Speaking of blogs, i dont know how or why, but I've started another. Its not like im busy with work every day, getting my nails did,  weighing out the ups and downs of making both my hair and mylees hair platinum blonde and doing the dishes.. BUT, the days are getting longer, which can only mean one thing. More time for the internets. Come and visit...SOON. its not ready yet. while you wait, you can watch this -



Its titled, US in the USA, which is misleading, because I didn't go to the USA. But mylee went, and we look similar. So its the other US (ozzie and mylee the crazy lawn mowerers)

OHARA beginners school

I'm no ikebana expert, but im pretty sure gerberas weren't used back when ikebana started being the hip happening thing, some 500 years ago. You could only imagine my face after I unwrapped my surprise newspaper covered flowers. 
Gerbs, hydrangea leaves and some other green ferny things. 
"WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO WITH THESE, apart from throw them in the bin?"
I know just like new born babies, all flowers are beautiful blah blah.blah. BUT when it comes to gerberas, im not interested.

Luckily, we were learning some really cool stuff and having a real hoot, one of the guys in our class was a skin specialist, so we were getting dermatology advice while turning and placing things on 30/45 degree angles.
me and  lady sensei matching outfits. still about 60 %  mad about the gerberas
See, just like in the diagram
no gerbs in this book
