A fresh bag of coffee. What could go wrong?

By -
Well that's the last time I open a new bag of coffee on a Saturday morning.
oh that coffee did smell wonderful..... I love that just ground vanillary fresh coffee smell.
I'd planned to do a little bit of tidying up in the morning and then just have an easy afternoon. While drinking my coffee .... ahhhhh coffee... looking out from the veranda I thought I'll just give the lawn a quick (yer right) mow before it got to hot (it's Darwin we hit 28 C today)

So..... four hours later I've mowed all the lawns, collected a tonne of palm leaves, pruned, untangled, deadheaded, swept, and watered then after another cup I vacuumed the whole house. Wow that's powerful coffee I need to keep that for crazy work days.


just a few palm leaves and the pile near the bin is mainly mile-a minute, a horrible sticky creeper that smothers all in its path. Now I need to hire a trailer, ah..... next weekend.

couldn't help myself, another photo of the moon smiling tonight







Just an extra note, the nutella buns (from Nutella Madness 1st June) also work really well placed side by side in a cake tin, it also means you can add extra nutella mmm.... I made these tonight, the nutella did start to brown off so I loosely place some foil over the top. yum.

Enjoy x Luna

I got KISSed twice this week.

Yep the big old KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid..... or Sweetie if your saying it to someone else) smacked me in the head last week.





I've been making brooches for years and normally just use the commercial brooch clip with the little safety wheel that secures it in place. They're great but are made not to be seen.  The one I've been wracking my brains about lately is a clip that can hang a dangle from, like an old fashioned nurses watch. I've had this concept in my head for a while and have made several drawings. And of course I was getting in my own way making them way too complicated and time consuming.



I mucked around making my own pin and spring then tried decorating a ready made pin. Then it dawned on me..... use the normal brooch pins solder on a jump ring and stamp the front. It was one of those weird moments that you feel wonderful, it's simple, cost effective and looks good. And then I also felt stupid, like I'd wasted so much time. But with a couple of d…

Every school should have a giant something

Just wanted to share some beautiful community art. The Wanguri Primary School, not far from where I live has just had the finishing touches done to an amazing barramundi sculpture. When I first moved up to Darwin 2 1/2 years ago, only about 1/3 of the fish had mosaics. A hoy went out earlier this year for someone to help out and it was finally finished.



Created by artist Techy Masero, the 250kg steel frame was cemented in place back in June 2009. It was then covered in a fine mesh and coated with concrete and then beautiful glass tiles.




The barra was chosen in recognition of the local indigenous Larrakia and  Wangurri people and the tile patterns were designed by the students.

Techy Masero has lived and worked her artistic magic in Darwin and the Northern Territory for about 20 years. I couldn't find out were she is now. I think she'd be amazingly happy with the result.
