Time is relentless....

The semester, and year, are ending.  Here are some photos.

I discovered a very sweet Boobook owl family near my house - thank you noisy miner birds and butcher birds for pointing them out!

Kezia got an award for year 9 music at her school.... but is sad that her year 12 adopted big sister is graduating and leaving the school.

This year's Tawny Frogmouth family are as gorgeous as ever.....

And there is a new exhibition coming up at Reverse Garbage, I Heart Handmade that opens on Saturday 26th November and will have heaps of fab Christmas presents for people to buy.

A Sneak Peek

Just a little preview of what I will be exhibiting in the upcoming exhibition at Reverse Garbage - Materialistic - these include desk-sitters, danglers and brooches.

Two of the desk top owls:

A couple of danglers:

And one of the brooches:

And I baked another batch of sourdough last night, this loaf was given its final proofing in my new banneton and then baked in my cast iron dutch oven.  It turned out wonderfully and I had to force myself to stop eating it.....

A photo of the banneton after I'd tipped the loaf into the cast iron pot.

Yesterday I also made Spicy Zucchini Pickles, the recipe for which you will find on the Etsy blog here, I couldn't resist trying them almost immediately and they are delicious.  I also added a couple of tablespoons of sugar and some bay leaves to the vinegar mixture and packed in a few split fresh red chillies.

What a yummy day.
