My creative space

Today I'm working on a little something for a little something I'm helping out with later in the year. I'm totally excited about the thing later in the year, it'll be awesome and exciting and, well, awesomely exciting. Anways, I'm doing 3 paintings at the moment......mmmhm fun times!

Also...here's a picture that Darren from Kish Photography took of me at the market on Saturday. I swear that I'm not really a monster, it's just that some things tend to bring out the monster in me, like photos of myself and other stuff that's way to boring to mention :)

For more creative spaces, head on over to Kootoyoo and maybe even add your own!!

Feelin' lucky?

I'll be having a giveaway this month for a little pack of Jetta's Nest goodies (think brooches, cards that sort of thing) to celebrate my 2 year blogiversary which was actually in February but I totally forgot...I'm having so much fun, you see!

Stay tuned.......

I've listed some brooches...

Left-overs from an overcast day :)



I'm feeling lazy and sleepy today and the biggest and littlest boy are sick with a cough that sounds much more like a seal than a small boy.

BrisStyle market yesterday!!!!!

(St Augustines Church, our awesome grounds)

The rain managed to keep itself safely tucked up in the clouds until pack up time answering our collective wishes for a dryish day!

(A bit of stock)

As usual it was loads of fun with lots of lovely visitors stopping by for chats, compliments and a touch of shopping and I was very excited to find that my new Jammie Eatin' Monster Pajama Bags were a big hit with kids and grown ups alike!

(A headless shot of Mr Jetta's Nest minding the stall whilst I snapped a few pics!)

Thanks to Daneve for the great company which included a fair bit of pinching and trying to stick rope up Mr Jetta's Nests nose!

Our next market will be the first night time market for BrisStyle....a 'twilight' market right in the heart of Brisbane at King George Square on April 30th!!

BrisStyle Market tomorrow!!!!!

Do not, I repeat, do not miss the very first BrisStyle Indie Designers Market for 2010 (if you live in Brisbane and surrounding areas of course, I mean I totally understand if you don't fly here for it but if you do that would be nice too)!!!!! It's on tomorrow, rain, hail or shine (hopefully shine) at St Augustines Church Hall and Grounds, Racecourse Road, Hamilton from 9am to 2pm.

Check out all the great stuff that will be there here and come and say hello to me, I'll be in the same spot that I was in at the December market!!

Oooggaaabboooggaaboooggaaaaa

Grey skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face.
Wipe of the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face.

Take of your gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
That you decided to smile



Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full of doubt look
Snap on a happy grin

Spread sunshine all over the place
And just put on a happy
Put on a happy face

Diary of my Earworm..

Attack of the Earworm, originally uploaded by leda_lertz.

OK so this is one of those completely self-indulgent, all about me, non-arty, non-crafty posts.

I've been trying to keep this earworm to myself for about a week now but I can't anymore...it won't go away and worse than that, it's not even a song...it's a cheesy saying or phrase or something!

I told Mr Jetta's Nest about it today and he's now completely convinced that I'm slowly but surely going crazy and honestly if I don't get rid of this one (to be replaced by another, to be sure) I think he might be right. I've been doing a little research into the 'earworm' and it seems people with OCD tendancies are most susceptible. I guess having one line from a Bon Jovi song stuck in my head for 3 days is better than compulsively picking my nose.....or is it?

So without further ado, and with the necessary warning that my blog is about to lose it's regular G rating, I introduce my current earworm (insert deep breath here) it is.....'rock out with your cock out'.

Let us never mention this particular earworm again.

That is all.
