ABC Update

I have now cut the letters for the ArtPlay ABC project out of foam. Thanks to the lovely Suzie, who runs children's craft workshops in Northcote, and who has tons of experience with tricky things, I am equipped with an electric carving knife (adult use recommended!). I haven't seen one of these since the eighties, so I'm not even sure if you can get them anymore, but it has proven to be a HUGE help! I've also covered the O, but will post that one later. Here are the foam letters . . .

Cranbourne Botanical Gardens

If you have never been here you are missing out! It is so amazing - the plants, the sculptures, the design of the whole place. We dropped in about a month ago (when the weather was a lot better!). The kids loved the place and kept disappearing on me to explore all the beautiful flowers and native trees. They are planning a whole new section that looks like the red centre of Australia. Take a picnic lunch and the kids and have a wonderful (and free!) day out, taking in the best of Australian flora and fauna (lizards and numbats).
