Lying on the couch, clicking away, taking random and fast photos of my little girl Emma as she danced around me. Taking the photos into the computer and playing with colours and styles and moods and fonts. Loving the results.

Priceless.

A few more photos to share with you from my recent trip away to Melbourne.

Melbourne is famous for it’s street art. I could have taken a million photos but I was enjoying just looking with my eyes instead of with my camera.

Rawr! What’s new pussycat?

it’s a zoo

Yes, I am back from my week away! Actually I got back Monday evening but honestly, I have been pretty much FLAT OUT since then. Anyway, one of the fun things we did was take the kids to Melbourne Zoo where we met up with Paul’s brother’s family. The cousins had a ball together and we all had a great day.

To be honest, when I visit a crafty blog and there is a post showing their photos from a recent trip away, I just skip over it - but of course it is different when I want to show off my animal photos!

Aren’t emus such funny looking creatures?

Melbourne Zoo is great - natural enclosures for the animals and a big emphasis on wildlife conservation. I love the way that they have the giraffes and emus in together. Two funny looking animals sharing a space. I mean, really, I love them but y’know, that neck is really crazy long.

We walked and walked and walked and saw almost everything.

Black and white, graphic.

And a few Aussie favourites for our American friends!

Skippy!

Happy Birthday Red Instead!

Red Instead recently turned 3! I want to write some more about this very soon but in the meantime I wanted to let you all know that the Red Instead website has just reopened after a “maintenance break” and it’s ALL NEW and IMPROVED!

The website has many new items and has a new focus - much more variety in the items I will be selling, happily handmade (as always) and lots of one of a kinds.

Previously the Red Instead site only sold children’s clothing but as the business and my craft interests have expanded so much over the last couple of years, I have decided to let the main webshop reflect that. You will now find jewellery, art and photo canvases, papercraft and cards, craft books and lots more.

Please head over and have a look and know that I would really appreciate your honest feedback. Sometimes it can be hard to set pricing so that is always a worry for me. Let me know if you think I have set it too high (or too low!) and feel free to pass the news around!
