Mr Fox and Brian the Lion

Finally, some photos! A few weeks to catch you up on. First, Mr Fox. a Lindsay Smith Pattern I have blogged about previously. Im having some problems with his tail. I didnt really like the tail in the pattern, and it seems whenever I try and make a tail someone always says they dont like it. So for now, he is tail-less. But its ok as he is mine!

This little cutie I made for a friend, Brian, who is a Leo, and seems to have a penchant for lions. I was a bit dubious about gifting a small stuffed toy to a man, but he seemed ok with it, phew! He is so incredibly cute, I like the way he looks at you, he is inquisitive, and has a pensive, poignant look in his beady little black eyes... lol.

My 25th birthday is coming up soon. Im having a pirate themed party, although a few weeks after my birthday as its a long weekend and every one is going away! So I have my eye on this pattern, perfect for a pirate! I have been crocheting a lot, perhaps something to do with procrastinating from study? Exams in a few weeks, so its back to the grind stone!

Exhibition openings and strolls down memory lane

Friday night saw me (after doing the hockey-mum run for the little sister) at the opening of Primal Playground at Mix Tape gallery. Its the first gallery opening I have been to since art school, and I got to catch up with lots of old friends, Korrin and Tiffany included who were exhibiting. Some of the work is really quite exciting, but perhaps it just appeals to my creepy side.

Tony our sculpture lecturer was there, I spoke to him briefly before trying to let him peruse the work, instead of being hounded by many ex students. He sent me this picture of us sitting around the campfire at Cue 2005. I believe the hat is protection from the cold, with a shaved head? Thats the only reasonable and rational explanation I can give! So I thought I would take a brief trip down memory lane with a few more burn pics...

Ahh, the good old days... I don't get nearly as dirty now.
