This thirsty little koala was rescued by firefighters after it was found roaming a burned up forest outside Melbourne.

Ex Libris
Ever lost a book to the abyss (aka: friends/family). Me too. These print-yourself bookplates MAY help reduce future causalities.

Cheap & Cheerful Red Lentil Soup
A nice recipe I made for the first time tonight. I like it because it is warm, comforting winter food but has some bright accents (ex: lots of lemon juice, fresh rosemary). It conjures up thoughts of Italian cypresses, sunshine glinting off the Adriatic & oregano-honey tisanes.
Rebar's "Greek Red Lentil Soup" recipe.
This is not a New Years Resolution. I swear!
The weather is getting to be a wee bit much & in an effort fight the winter blues my husband suggested I recontribute to Basil Bush. Good idea I thought so here I am. Again. Since moving I haven't been as crafty. The reduction of space has crippled my drive. Anywho, let's see where this goes shall we?

Yes, yes ANOTHER tote
Ladies over at Stitch Lounge have a tute for a sew your own shopping bag. What I esp. like about this one is it has a little tie/snap thing-y so you can fold it up & stash it in your purse. PFD of tute can be found here on their blog.

DIY Dog Toy
Lately, my dogs have been fighting over this one squeaky stuffed bone so I decided to help them make peace & sewed up a similar one. I free hand drew a bone shape (my mother says it looks more like a wrench & now every time I see I think that too - thanks mom!) on some fleece & sewed & stuffed it. I also added a plastic squeaker made specifically for dog toys. I use Dr. Noy's Replaceable Squeakers which I buy at my local pet store but you can easily find all sorts on the web too.

Really It’s a Change Purse...
...just don’t tell my man that! He asked for a little bag in which he could keep his golf tees. I guess the ziploc wasn’t cuttin’ it. Nothing too special. Flickr tute used can be found here courtesy of Viteen.
Wild Garlic
Aren't they sooooooo beautiful? I actually squealed with delight when I saw it at the veggie market.
Homemade Dog Mat
I made a little sitting mat for my mum's wiener dog Lucy & it was easy-peasy! I merely mitered the corners on the denim bottom, inserted a piece of a padded quilted cotton fabric & then sewed down the denim edge to the quilted fabric. Voila!
