June's Focus: Finding the Fun in Photography
Week Twenty Three : Silliness!
My daughter would dearly love to dress up boy-cat.
I think she might have more luck with girl-cat but boy-cat made the mistake of coming for a cuddle at the wrong time ....

Welcome to the Stinky Dog Beads Blog Hop hosted by Lorelei!
A few weeks ago, Lorelei picked out a gorgeous selection of bits n bobs from Stinky Dog Beads and set the challenge for us to create gorgeousness with them.

May's Focus : In, At and About
For some time I've been captivated by the beautiful black and white art that has been popping up all over the internet. A quick search led me to www.zentangle.com and the concept of tangling.
My two favourite crafts, beading and claying, require too much preparation, attention and equipment to whip out during those very brief down-times during the day so the idea of something creative and relaxing that only required paper and pen was very appealing.
Just over a week ago I borrowed a book from the library (One Zentangle a Day by Beckah Krahula) and 'borrowed' my better half's nice drawing pen. Instantly hooked.
I can pop my pad and pen in my bag and take it anywhere.
Anytime I can find a moment for a cuppa I can quickly whip out my tangles. If there's a 'crisis' (and there usually is) I don't have to extricate myself from a difficult stitch to go and sort out exactly who is touching whose toys or to kiss away that little hurt.
The perfect little de-stresser!

May's Focus : In, At and About
I'm very late with this post (too busy bead soup blog-hopping) but I wanted to share this family of 'shrooms I found nestled at the base of a tree in my daughter's kinder. The damp autumn weather has caused a frenzy of fantastic fungi sprouting from every nook and cranny and they make such lovely photographic subjects.
Couldn't bring myself to fiddle with the picture too much (other than to crop out my shadow) because the colours came out so beautiful in the afternoon sun.
