End Of The Year

I am so aware of 2011 approaching but am also not quite ready to finish with 2010. I have started working on my intentions for 2011 and choosing my word for next year but I still feel as though 2010 has a last offering. There are after all three full days left. I wonder what those three days will hold?

A Black & White Morning

Street Art Wednesday

Back in July I took a photo of this wall and a crazy green insect machine. Since then the owners painted over it and recently I noticed this little guy had appeared. This is what I love about street art - the transient nature of things.

Macro Friday - Basil

Hello Macro Friday. It's been a long and busy week so this photo is from a recent visit to the Farmers Market. This basil looks so delicious. I'm trying to grow some at the moment and it's not looking quite as healthy as this. I hope is perks up.

Incube8r

This is my brand new space in Incube8r. I love it. It's so exciting to see my work up in a shop for the general public to purchase. Exciting but scary too.

Street Art Wednesday

I used to play the Franh Horn in high school so when I saw this painted on a wall I just had to take a photo. It brought back memories.

Flying High

I'm on a high today as I set up my space at Incube8r this morning. It's so exciting to see my work up in a shop for the general public to buy. Most of my sales up until this point have been to friends, family or friends of friends but now it's accessible to anyone. The set up at Incube8r seems great so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes. If you're in the Collingwood area please call in and check it out.

It's Macro Friday again. Last night I helped a friend decorate her Christmas tree. I don't quite feel ready for it to be the end of the year yet but I am excited about Christmas.

A Light In The Darkness

Tonight I was at a friend's house for dinner. We were just about to sit down to eat when I saw this crazy light out of her window. I had to grab the camer and take a shot. i love the way the building glows in the blue.

Macro Friday - New Tomatoes

These are the first of my new season tomato crop. I can't wait until they're lovely and red and I can eat them straight from the vine. Yum! Happy Macro Friday everyone.

My Garden

Behold my new "pot" garden. I'm pretty excited as my mint has come back wonderfully and I've just put in basil and coriander. I haven't had much luck with them in the past but I'm willing to give it another go. Also in my garden are tomatoes, silver beet, rosemary, parsley and I'm attempting to grow some plum trees from some seedlings we rescued from a plum tree that was cut down. I hope my efforts will pay off - I'll keep you updated.
