A busy Summer - Gardening, marketing, artwork and more.

So much to do! The never ending list. At least this past year, and
especially Summer, we have got together and sold goods, done
home maintenance tasks and started the backyard renovation,
all long overdue.

We are all busy and often time poor, but in breaks get bits done,
progress is slow but encouraging.

This is a mixed bag of some of these.

Bec gets into it, bless her little red socks!

For environmental reasons newspaper weedmat.

The pond is overgrown with mini Papyrus, and a haven for a red belly snake. It has to be removed.

Bec has dug out the native small plants and grasses, now to shift 
all the pots and other stuff, and dig out weed lawn.
The recycled washing machine drum to be repurposed as a firepit. 

In spite of the demolition, the wooden raised plant beds are going well.

Watched over by our little tawny mate.

We cleaned and assembled and checked the girl's bunks, (they are  only 20 years old now), we got around to it eventually! Sold them within minutes of listing!

Ben relaxes on his cosy lounge corner of the deck. The deck that is lounge, 
dining, workshop, art and photo studio.

Some of our designs on cards for market. Selling well.
Art from 70s and 80s, very retro.


A caricature commission, and lots of help from the cat, who just spread 
and spread and took over the table.

A view, fresh air, a cuppa and reference.

Different applications, on a big birthday group sign card, for 21st birthday.
Hand coloured card gives a different look to mono coloured singlet.

No challenge whatsoever, short deadline, in a merino suit, get face right, 
include slackline, friend, 4WD car, and a chasm! Easy sure...


Bob eventually took over the table, at least he was comfortable and relaxed.

Blast from the past, painted rocks, a trend 70s - 90s.
I used to sell these can I do it again?
