Had a great Day at the Market today. Got a little sunburnt as it was 32C (89.6F). Only 2 of my family left home. Lionel the purple lion went to a little girl who bought him with some birthday money and the other a blue rabbit named Wilfred.Had an elderly man fell in love with Lyndon the Lion. He came back 3 times to look at it. Thought if he came back again I was going to tell him to buy Lyndon and take him home.

Well done Lyn. It was 30 degrees here today too! I think we are getting your weather. It's very unseasonable to be so hot so early into Spring. Glad you have sold well at the market. Love Chris

P.S. What are you going to make now?

Chris, I am so tired today. Think I will just have the day off and think about it tomorrow.

I am glad you sold them. So what next? New plans after the biscornus and sock animals? I'm looking forward to seeing what you will be producing now.

Have to wait for someone to come up with an idea that I fancy - so I can pinch it.

Do you mean they can come back to me if they are not treated correctly?

It sure sounds like a great day for you. Wished that you would have sold all the family, but perhaps next time or they are meant for gifts. What's next on the agenda?

I love to see them go. One little boy picked up the orange lion and gave him a big hug. Mother couldn't afford to buy as she had 3 children. I told the little boy to have another big hug.

Hi Lyn - glad to see that Lyndon the Lion was such a success .... but he is still with you??? I wonder if that elderly man will return next market day and actually buy Lyndon.
Nice and warm in Adelaide yesterday! 'Further south' we had a magnificently warm spring day, not hot, and we sat in the garden for lunch, watching the butterflies and listening to the spring birds.
It's necessary to catch spring while you can - today we are back to heavy grey skies, rain and cool breezes. The spring garden is loving rain on the warm soil.
