My Singapore Holiday Oct2009

these are just few of the pics I took on my trip to Singapore.The top left is a pergola on a walk over in China town. Top right is on Sentosa Island, this is where people come to swim and sunbath on the beach.. 2nd left is the fountain at Suntec City. You walk around it three times while drapping your fingers in its waters and make a wish. It was lots of fun to walk out there but it was a bugger to find.Suntec City is made up of 5 business towers with the fountain central. But we had to walk a confusing maze to get there. 2nd right is the huge, massive development on Sentosa Island. Hotels, fun park, casino just to name a few of the attractions that it will house. It is suppose to be finished in 2010.
3rd left are my friends on the Sky Tower on Sentosa Island. It is a donut shape contraption which glides up a central pole to give you some spectacular views over the sea and Singapore city.
3rd right is one such view from the Skytower.

Thankyou to fellow bloggers

I wish to say thankyou to the other bloggers who have bestowed upon me blogging awards.
I am rather chuffed by your sweet thoughts. I would accept them and display them if I knew how.
So thankyou! I appreciate the kindness.

Birthday card kept me in stitches.....

A very dear friend of mine is having a birthday soon and as paper glue and I dont get along all that well I thought I would do something different. I gather this will be a bit of a surprise for her. I made her card out of fabric. I wired the edges and filled it in with beads so it could stand. I did think of lining it with card board but decided not to.

Wee Billabong is the latest Puddle to come out of my work room. I have been quite busy of late making critters as gifts and for competition. (the comps I got roped into.....what am I thinking? I really have difficulty with the pressure..sigh...haha)
Click on Billy's pic and it should take you to my website where you can view more photos of him and the adoption details.
cheers

UPDATE.......

Bringing You Up to Date 18th May 2009 Less than 2 weeks to go until the "BLACK AND WHITE BALL" ONLINE SHOW LIVE FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA 8 am 1st June - 7th June, 2009 There will be many new bears and critters on offer exclusively at the "Black and White Ball" Online Show. This is a completely new concept in Online Shows where it runs over a week and the bears and critters for sale will be presented individually and not in Artist's Booths as before. It is a "Masked Ball", where you will not know who has made the bear or critter until you actually contact the artist during the show, so it should be a lot of fun!! Please visit the official show website http://www.teddybearsandcritters.com/blackandwhiteballvenue.htm and if you have any questions, please ask! An Official Sneak Peek is available at http://www.teddybearsandcritters.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=5413921 . Most of the Artists have only 3 new pieces included in the official Sneak Peek, as The Australian Creative Design Awards will also be featured as part of the Online Show. There is also a Public Choice Competition and I encourage you to vote for your favourite piece. The competition pieces cannot be viewed at all until the Online Show officially opens, all I can tell you is that each entry is either a bear or critter, all the entries will also be available for sale and they are all black and white!! As with previous online shows, my own new pieces will not be available to view on my website. These exclusive new creations will only be available to purchase at the official Online Show. You can check the starting time for your neck of the woods here http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc New pieces will be added daily, according to the daily "Dance Card" and for your convenience I will email the "Black & White Ball" Online Show link to you when it opens for business. How to Purchase at the Online Show To purchase though the official Online Show website just click on the email link provided on each bear/critters page. The first person to contact me by email once the Online Show has officially opened will have the the first opportunity to secure each piece.
