I’ve wanted to get a pastry related tattoo for a while now, and since I’m well into this whole cravings project I figured it’d be a grand time to kill these two birds with one stone. AND THUS: Pastry Queen was born! It’s not the first time I’ve played with hair-that-is-not-hair-but-in-fact-other-things, and maybe that’s a…

These things came out of my pen.
I’m trying really really hard not to let this drawing thing go, but I have a feeling I over-did it yesterday. That’s the sort of thing that I’m really good at, I throw myself into something until I burn out! I’d rather not burn out, in fact it kind of scares me, so I will…
Fat Ladies in Spaaaaace!
Have you heard about Nicole Lorenz‘s colouring book, Fat Ladies in Spaaaaace?! When I first saw one of Nicole’s drawings posted on Marianne’s blog, I knew I wanted to colour in her fabulous space heroes straight away but I had to wait until the book was ready for the world. When Nicole asked me if…
Swell Sculpture Festival
The Swell Sculpture Festival at Currumbin Beach has been showing for the last fortnight but we only got out to catch it yesterday morning, before it closes today. We took Miffy with us because there aren’t many art events you can take your dog to! We are bestowing on her an education in the creative…
$60 worth of hair, $4 worth of skirt.
No, this isn’t a photo from two years ago, and my hair hasn’t magically grown… it’s from Wednesday and I’m wearing hair extensions! Nick and I met up with Dr Lauren and Isaac from Griffith Uni to discuss our involvement in an exciting fat studies project, and as Nick took these photos we had Isaac…
Elaborate Donut Cravings.
The other night I had a craving for a donut, but not a cinnamon sugar donut, more like an elaborate donut with sprinkles, fun, love, ticker-tape parades and a cheesecake filling. A donut as a metaphor for the things I can’t do right now, something that is elusive and out of reach signifying aspirations and…
Just DIY it.
I’ve been collecting a few rad tutorials and how-tos lately and I thought I’d post about them because you might want to do them too! Make a padded headboard. I made one last week and it was surprisingly easy after I found all the materials but beware, unless you have foam on hand it can…
Happy day Dad.
In Australia and a bunch of other countries it’s Father’s Day today! Happy day to all the fathers over the world, and also love to those with fathers who aren’t here. I made my Dad a cupcake diorama displaying his little boat “Bite me” in a choppy ocean. Of course there are some inaccuracies. His…
The Porcine Protector reviews a jacket from No Xceptions.
Sometimes a super-heroine blogger gets approached by clothing companies to review items, and The Porcine Protector recently received such an item from No Xceptions. After moving headquarters and recruiting a new sidekick, TPP emerged from her clandestine cover to show off her new bit of kit, a black dipped hem jacket. No Xceptions lists this…
Malaysia Kitchen Insider: Little Malaya, Coolangatta.
After all the excitement of the last few weeks I’m a little behind on my Malaysia Kitchen exploration! We dined at Little Malaya, Coolangatta on Thursday night after doing some research on Malaysian restaurants on the Gold Coast with more than a few vegetarian options. Nick had enquired about vegetarian dishes at another restaurant but…
