Melbourne's Back Alleys

Spreading the Melbourne Love

Sadly my favourite ice-cream shop, Charmaines, which had award-winning passionfruit ice-cream has closed down. I traipsed around town and beyond looking for just one outlet still to be open to no avail. Boo-hoo, so I had to try the shop that has replaced Charmaines, Trampoline, and it is damn fine! (I'm such a fickle consumer - try the berry with pavlova chunks-yum)

Coffee Table

A coffee table I'm working on. Made it ages ago with balsa wood and I'm still tweaking the design. I'm a magazine addict so I'm trying to design a table to accommodate mags and art books. I'm thinking about a button studded grey wool ottoman to fit into the empty side. I need the table kid friendly so I was thinking the ottoman could work as a chair for the kiddies to sit at the table and do their crafts.

Lampshades

Second pic is my bamboo lampshade made from old bamboo steamers. I wedged in polypropylene between the steamers and gives off a lovely low light.
I love lampshades. The house I used to live in last year had beautiful white walls and drop pendant lighting in each room. I was able to go to town making lovely paper and timber lampshades in each room. When I moved last year I sadly moved into a house with downlighting. What are people thinking, they are such bloody eyesores.

Start Me Up!

Launceston, Tasmania airport detail. Loved the airport, very Cary Grant 60's North by Northwest feel.
Oh my god it's already February and I need to get started with filling my etsy shop with stuff. Procrastination and foxtel (cable tv) have got me on a tight schedule. So much for my 30 days of the everyday this has obviously now been pushed back till March. I've got one more bargain basement holiday to Melbourne to go on in mid February then it's on with business. Got one of those $10 tiger airways flights. Hope I don't have to sit on a milk crate and get the chequered bum thang happenin'. Can't wait to check out 'Meet Me at Mike's' and the rooftop markets. Things to do this month 1.Must stop living off the credit card and actually make some money and 2. Stop watching so much Bridezillas (great trashy tv), Girls of the Playboy Mansion (are these girls serious) and Ladette to Lady (Classic).
Another baby boy born 30th January, count for past 4 months. 2-boys, 1-girl, 1-pregnancy.
Well done ladies and gentlemen.
