Meet Echo the Gecko.

While buying a few for a friend I fell in love with Nephrurus levis geckos, aka smooth knob-tail geckos. So how could I resist when this little beauty came up for sale?

I've named him Echo. The gecko.

He's settled in quite well and I love having a lizard that we can watch of a night when all the others are asleep.

He doesn't like being handled very much but he does come and sit at the glass and stare at me while I watch TV. He's so cute!

2013 Hottie Challenge

I decided to join in with the Hottie Challenge this year. Thanks Cam for encouraging me!
So this was my blank canvas -

And this is my finished entry -

I've entitled it "What a Hoot-ie".
Hopefully I can raise a little money for the Margaret Pratt Foundation along with all he other amazing entries so far!

Owl Cushion - free embroidery

I've recently finished sewing up an owl cushion, my own embroidery, and thought I'd offer it up as a free pattern. Perfect for Mother's Day if your Mum loves owls like mine does!

If you use the pattern let me know. I'd love to see your take on it!

March in Instagram

Last month I didn't get up to much, but there were a few highlights I can share.

Scored majorly at the op-shops!

Went on a 4WD adventure around our area.

Bought some new lizards!

Enjoyed the benefits of all the rain we had in February.

Hung out with my beautiful animals.

Bought some stuff from my favourite store, Typo.

Got a bad cold. Which is why I didn't do too much this month.

Here's to April being a lot better than March!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope your day is spent with friends and family and chocolate and Easter egg hunts!

 Made this little Easter diorama jar. The flocked bunnies are adorable! I love this idea, think I'll make some more jar dioramas in the future.

Propaganda

There's a new shop in the Mall. It's called Propaganda, and they have the most awesome stuff!!

They're so expensive, but I couldn't resist buying a few things...

I'm just gonna have to hoard my pennies so I can go back and get more!

February in Instagram

This month just flew by! Wait, I said that about last month, didn't I? Doesn't help that this month is a couple days shorter than the rest.
This month I...
Photographed some of my favourite stuff and drank a lot of coffee.

Fled the floods.

Harmonized with nature.

Had some interesting new friends visit.

Went shopping. A lot!

Hung out with friends.

Did some embroidery and bought a new quilt.

Enjoyed and laughed at my fur babies antics.

What did you do this past month?
