Come on people!

Hmm... it just struck me that there is far to much of me on this blog, so come on Pocket Space fans and suppliers, get writing!
This is the toy I bought yesterday at Pocket Space by Heart Vandana. Oh the cuteness! Anthony told me that I've head a few sales myself lately... Zombilina and Bloofy both sold! Yay! I will have to start thinking up some ideas for new toys soon.

Plush Books!

Yay! New books! I dropped into Pocket Space a little while back to drop off a couple of new toys and couldn’t resist these books. Obviously I don’t use other people patterns when I create my toys but I really like drooling over other people’s creations and cool designs!

Anthony's reaction!

Well Sarah decided to come clean and admit to being sneaky! Phew! I think we were all getting a bit sick of trying to think of good excuses for taking photos! Here was Anthony's reaction to this Blog:

WWHATT THHE???

You sneaky little beavers! I'm completely overwhelmed - and immensely pleased! It's been like living with the Stasi here lately - with all this surreptitious photography going on. It sounds like Pucca's been pulling his strings lately, but I really didn't understand the reason Chris murmured for taking a photo in the shop - now all is revealed! One probable thing I remember from my University days (and it was days) - was "to be perceived is to exist" - I think that somehow fits - so thank you all!

It's nice to have sneaky friends, I'm very lucky!

Don't Leave Home Without Some Andy Tomine

Here are two postcards that are keeping me company in Melbourne, extracted from a book of Tomine postcards.

The second postcard is a portrait of E from the band the Eels, a band i like, a lot.

Some Skimma stuff hanging out

Here's some of my Miw-cats hanging out in the window of Pocket Space! Also next to them is the last of my Nungy-bones! Don't they look cute? If you look carefully, you might be able to see Anthony working away in the back-ground!

Spikey Organic Art

One of my favourite books that I have found in Pocket Space (and cards) is "Art Forms In Nature" by Ernst Haeckel. I admit I looked at the large and lovely hard back for a few months before it was bought for me as a Christmas present. I have several of the postcards, which are plates from the book, on the wall at home. So inspirational!
