And I blame Made on the Left for these new-found cravings. I have now been to my first craft fair and it was simply ... delightful, surprising, buzzing, cheery, inspiring!
The montage above shows some of the stalls I visited and the people I talked to. I'll give a brief description of them, going from left to right, top to bottom so that you.... more »

Hello all, it's me again. What, another post from Angie, so soon? Is it Christmas already? Ho ho ho!
Alright, just ignore that lame intro and check your calenders to see if you have anything on this Saturday. And if you do, blow it off.

Doesn't it feel like there's a sprinkling of holiday dust in the air? Suddenly Christmas isn't that far away. (I know this to be true, because I went to Garden City on the weekend and they've already started selling those bulk packs of fundraising Christmas cards.)

It discomforts me to hear about people who don't like to travel.
Take, for example, a recent letter that appeared in the Ask Bossy blog at News.com.au.
(Ask Bossy is one of my guilty pleasures. People anonymously write in to Bossy, a.k.a. Kate de Brito, about their problems, Bossy usually replies with something sensible (and.... more »

Oh no. It's starting to get warm.
I heard some flies buzzing around the screen door the other day -- one of the signature sounds of the Australian summer.
It sent a prickle down my spine.
You see, our sprinklers broke down a year ago, and we still haven’t fixed them. Partly because the colossal power of my family's combined procrastination could power a second.... more »
