Jazzy in Charge- again

Me exhausted from supervising all the works

Everybody in this house is SO grumpy. I wish the sweet builder man was still here at least he still would find time to give me a pat and a scruff. Daddy is home this week and starting to drive Mummy crazy - she might be hormonal as well as exhausted because she has painted most of the house over the past few weeks and all he has to do is half of one wall and the three gable ends.

Last week Auntie Diney was here and she helped Mummy and they got a heap of painting done together and Daddy would come home and pick faults with it the naughty boy.
I must admit I like the colours Mummy has chosen and it does seem to be coming together but just not fast enough for Mummy because Daddy tends to be a bit scattergun in how he works around the place. Because Mummy has been at this since the end of October she is actually methodical about working around the place which is something a bit new for her hehehe.

The deck area all painted and ready for Auntie Ric's Baby Shower this weekend.

There isnt much a little pussy can do to make things better except follow Mummy around and help by being close even if she will persist in putting things on my 'bed' well my current bed is her flannel workshirt teehee!

Hopefully they wont kill each other before it is all done and will relax a bit this weekend when they have the baby shower for Auntie Ric
I will keep you posted

Some random Yarraville wildlife

the Huntsman- commonly referred to in my clan as Huntsies- brrrrr lol

One of the "highlights?!" of summer in Oz is the spiders
NOT my favourite critter and I am moving to a part of the world where spiders are legendary in size- along with most other bugs and crawlies sssshiverrrrrrrrr
but this one was one of three of similar size that were in my living room simultaneously last week.
For OS viewers this is a Huntsman spider relatively harmless unless you have a weak heart and turn on the light and one is sitting on the lamp!! But tickly crawly and quite large although this one is about average for in town but I have seen bigger - at closer quarters unfortunately LOL.
We have a lot of trees in the front garden which also provide havens for Orb Spiders too which spin the most glorious webs imaginable but they can be incredibly icky if you walk into them at night especially when you know there is a rather large spider inhabiting that web!!
Their legs can be up to 3 inches long and they actually thud against the house if the web breaks

Garden Orb

and the result is

decided to discharge the black- been doing a lot of that lately but I love the results
fairly pleased with this piece - now to chop it up and use it LOL

Too hot to paint- hooray

So I can do some stuff of my own and the conditions are perfect for flour paste resist dyeing
this is a piece I am starting for the exhibition that begins at the start of March
oh yes I do work better with deadlines!
