Kawaiis all 'round

We saw these kangas out at Churchill National Park last Sunday on an impromptu Teddy Bears' Picnic with the Davies'. Hundreds of 'em (kangas that is, not Davies', although word is that they are going forth and multiplying). I just love the joeys who try to stand up so straight and proud as if to say, "Hey! I'm just as big as you!" that they nearly fall backwards.

And yesterday, I received my first Chrissie preso from my Secret Pink Flower Swap Partner, Evonne in California. She's a clever one, sewing up a gorgeous floppy flower that I will promptly put on my summer hat. Which I haven't bought yet. Thanks Evonne!

I have finished my flower but have been too under the pump at work to pee safely, let alone stumble to the Post Office.

I'm also making Xmas presents & cards this year - I aint no Christmas Grinch, but all I see around me is the beginning of a season of obligation and lazy commercialism. I have to do something creative to stay sane...
