Duma Key

I finished reading Duma Key and it is a fabulous book. Stephen King always manages to weave such powerful images in his narratives. It was really hard to stop reading but I had to because the book was finished.

Simple Journal

Nothing much to share except for a simple hand-bound journal that has been embellished with a Pepsi Max cool drink can (that was Cuttlebugged).

I ran my first jewellery class today. The ladies made some beautiful pieces and it was a lovely afternoon.

New Journal

I made a hand-bound journal last night for a friend. I used some suede to cover the journal, diet-coke can and a microscope slide for the front cover. I love my Cuttlebug! I wanted to get a sea feel with the shapes and patterns. Thanks for looking. xxxx

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums. I hope you all had a great day. My family treated me to a beautiful cooked breakfast which was just lovely. At lunch time I made my way to Nikkis with a few the other mums to have one of the best meals- crispy chicken salad, roast pork with all the trimmings followed by sticky date pudding. Thank goodness I walked home.
Any way, John and James went fishing yesterday. My goodness- bluebone and crays cooked in garlic butter for dinner!!!! I am living high on the hog. LOL

Toys and New Art

My husband bought a spear gun on our recent trip to Perth and used it successfully to catch three fish yesterday. With a spear gun you have to be extremely selective and only use it for fish you intend to eat.
Extreme James used his crayfish skills to get these crays for us.
John, Extreme James and The Terminator caught Gold Spot Trevally, Crimson Sea Perch, Golden Trevally, Spangled Emperor, Blue Bone, Rankin Cod, Coral Trout and of course, Spanish Mackerel! Most were catch and release. Lovely. No creations this weekend-yet!
Biriyani! Sheena and Extreme James

Curry Night
We got together for a ``Curry Night'' and feasted!!! Everyone brought a dish to share and it was some of the finest food I've ever tasted. I brought the Sam Special (Chicken Curry) and Pork Vindaloo, (Secret Family Recipe).
