Chiltern, Victoria
The calm before the storm. There's an antique fair here on this weekend (25-26th Aug 2012) and it apparently is heaving with collectors.
Bangles for those who can't knit
You may have seen these before. Bangles made from knitting needles. Very easy to do. Just find your weapons of choice, bang them in a pot of boiling water until they are bendy. Carefully pull them out of water, bend into shape using tongs and a cloth. Peg them together and there you have it!
Splashes of colour
Love that street art adds colour to what would otherwise be a dull dirty alleyway.
Say Cheese
I had a really interesting day at the Pepe Saya factory today. The lovely Cheese maker Janet Clayton from Cheeselinks in Victoria showed us from start to finish how to make Camembert & Romano Cheese.
Big thanks to everyone that made it possible. I can't wait to eat the finished product!
If you are interested they are running two more sessions. Details can be found here.

Paris Space Invaders - by Invader
Wandering around Paris if you look up you'll notice an alien invasion by Street Artist "Invader" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invader_(artist) They remind me of these http://bit.ly/ak8d9G
I took these a couple of years ago but it seems that they are now invading cities around the world.

Tentsile - more like a hammock than a tent
This is such a crazy but cool idea. A three bedroom tent/ hammock. Be interesting to sleep in on a windy rainy night. You'd probably end up a lot drier than the usual muddy soppy mess you end up with.
Would love to hear from someone thats actually stayed in one to find out how comfortable they are and how hard it is to put up and move around inside of.
So if you buy one, let me know! http://www.tentsile.com/
