Do you have anything you want to tell us about? Today is the day! Let us know in the comments. Here are some things I want to tell you about…
- The crafty Fabric-A-Brac event that’s upcoming in Sydney
- An article in The Mercury about me and Brown Owls THIS Friday.
- A piece in the Herald Sun (maybe this Saturday? maybe next?) about the new book. I think it’s going to be in the Saturday Weekend lift-out.
- My new book is hitting the shops late this week/early next week. OMG.
- Good Stuff ads are filling up fast. More than half are gone. It’s $60 a half page and $100 a full page. (Crafters, corporates, authors, musicians all welcome in Good Stuff!)
- You can WIN a copy of Make Hey! over here! Thanks to The Hoopla!
- I watched Pan Am on one of those online streaming sites. OMG. It’s SO GREAT!
- My computer is going SO SO SO slow today.
- My troll is back and she’s got a new pseudonym. It’s quite a cute one.
- We were dog-sitting Ziggy, but now he’s gone home π
- I made cinnamon scrolls (there they are pre-icing) via Smitten Kitchen.
What do you want to tell everyone about? Got any news? Over to you!

Hi Pip,
I got engaged on the weekend! Can't wait to come to your book launch and get your new book π
Watched PanAm on Hulu last night. Really liked it. A bit jealous you can watch out stuff streaming, but I can't get yours!:)
P.S Pip- my son wants the recipe for the delish looking choc cake ps
OMG!!! I won your book from Hoopla-YAY for me ( runs around laughing & screaming doing a silly dance)….I would have bought it any ways but now i also know about Hoopla so double bonus for me today-Thanks Pip your a star π
We got an eviction notice today. Do you know anyone in Hobart who needs nice new tenants?
Hi Pippy
Did you know that in Sweden the saying doesn't go 'speaking of the devil…'? Instead it goes 'speaking of the trolls..'.
Go cute trolls and your round tummies, AND your excellent hair.
I'm sorry I used to chew on your head when I was at school and you were my pencil topper. It was gross and I should have known better.
In EVEN cuter news – goddam am I excited about your book coming out!
It is a cold a dreary day & I've spent it crocheting my granny square blanket- man it's taking forever to go around once now – & I'm making castles (just really mounds of brightly coloured blocks) inside a Thomas track with my boys – which is a pretty cool & excellent trade off π
Also – I sheepishly add that I have a relatively new blog – which has some pretty cool stuff on it (In my mind anyways) & some pretty cool stuff to come π

Come over & check it out!!
Thanks Pip & I can't wait to get my hands on your new book!!!

I finally sent off my children's book manuscript to a competition….I must say I felt a wee bit nervous when I sent it off…
Jennie :: OMG! Helen Rodel! I just made a crocheted owl a couple of months ago, but it's not a patch on these! This lady is amazing, thank you so much for showing me!
Wembolina :: A DEER? A DEER? OH MY! That is so cute! I want to come over and sip tea and look at the deer.
Cate :: ACE! Thank you for sharing! I hope that you get lots of like minded people coming along!
Rie :: I want a jaffle too. I have just been eating KimChi Cup Noodles WAY TOO MUCH.
Jen :: CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! I am off to investigate your BOOK! YOUR BOOK! YAY! GO YOU!. Bloody well done. xx
