A little DIY, and a whole lotta Gocco
New “old” furniture in my workspace ….
And fun with my Gocco. I finally got the courage to burn my first screen and did a print run with some artwork from Xanthe …

Got something to say?
oh that furniture is scrummy. I love the two little birds, lol. Great work on the prints!
Thanks Hay. I’m so totally into white distressed furniture at the moment, kinda like old country style French furniture (I can dream, lol). I was so lucky to find those two little birdies on the clearance table at our local plant store for $5 bucks. It’s a bird feeder, but the bowl is perfect for holding my stuff.
Hey love I just love that furniture.
And the artwork is just beautiful.
I am off to a meeting so will have to check it again later.
Just beautiful sweetie.
lots of love mum
Hey mum …. the white drawers are the old ones we used to have in Xavier’s room with the dressing mirrors on the top.
hi there Jacinta!
great jobs you’ve done there!
But i have to ask what a GOCCO is?
Hope your all well and looking after each other?
Hugs and MWAHs to all
Lots of love

Hi. Gocco’s are so much fun. I got it ages ago, but only just got the courage to play around with it the other day. It’s a little home-hobby screen-printing unit, designed for the domestic Japanese market. They don’t make them anymore, but you can still get them …. although in a few years time it will be really hard to source the screens and bulbs.

Oh my gosh, thank-you so much …. I think I am going to buy some new tools/equipment so I can get my soldering work-station setup properly.
GREAT, we hope you do.
Its nice to be able to do that occassionally.
Look forward to talking to you on the weekend, if not tonight.
Take care and much love to you all.

Well it didn’t take me long to spend all that … but yippee new soldering equipment and related what-nots have been ordered, paid for and are being shipped as we speak (”squee” as my bloggy friend Ninja Katie would say).

Thanks Sarah … hope things are going well in your corner of the world.
Okay, I just tried again, for the 2nd time to leave you a message and managed to not leave anything.
I must be really tired, as it didnt work last night either.
Nevermind, pleased your soldering equipment is ordered, I hope you get years of use out of it.
Very happy to be spending xmas with you all, don’t worry I will get accommodation sorted out for everyone. ITs going to be great. On top of that Desarei is getting married, how lovely.
hopefully talk to you tonight sweetie.
lots of love mum
How are you doing jacinta?

Hi guys,
thank you for a lovely, lovely weekend.
Please give my love to the munchkins as well and let them know we flew on one of the really big planes.
So looking forward to seeing you all again at Christmas. Its going to be really lovely.
much love to all
mum
Hi love.
sorry you were asleep when I rang yesterday will try again later.
Hope your weekend went well and the kids are fine.
Is Xavier okay at kindy, no more pants issues.
IT was lovely to have all that time with them and both of you. Its going to be great at Xmas, I can’t wait. I got Xavier his own pack of cards with diggers and trucks on so we can play snap and pairs with his in case Xanthe is not so sure about using her fairy ones
Well have a lovely day.
lots of love to all.
mum
Hi love,
I know Desarei is going to talk to you on the weekend about the kids and the wedding, which I thought she had already done, but have a look at the pattern I brought on the weekend for the girls, its on my blog site. its knit so it s easy to make and will fit easily. You guys have to decide about Xavier but I will make him a kerchief to match.
I hope you guys have a lovely day.
Lots of love mum
Hello sweetie, how are you.
I called the other day and you were on the couch having a snooze, good for you.
Hope you are all well and happy.
I notice the xmas rush has started.
I am sending your christmas present, Desaries, Chantelle’s and Rachels down to Desarie’s place to be stored till we get there - directly from the vendor I have been laybying them from. Other wise I have to get them on the plane and thats a hassle.
Anyway, you have to promise not to take a peek when they arrive.
They will go in her garage till we arrive. OUt of the way there I think.
So looking forward to seeing you all again and having xmas with you all, which is so exciting.
I am in the process of cutting out the girls dresses, but I dont expect them to take long. I will make Xavier one of his cowboy kerchief\bib things, but have you and Desarei decided what hes wearing? Does he know hes going to be part of it, in fact have you guys told the kids at all?
Lovely to have a wedding in the family and pleased its Desarei, good to know she will have someone.
Well, have a lovely day sweetie and love to you all.
mum
Hi love
meant to call you today and just didnt get there. Fell asleep about 2.00 and that was me for most of the day.
Its been a busy weekend, Chantelle and Noel have trucked their gear up to Whangarei and moved into Paul and Donnas spare room today, where they will stay will we come down at Christmas - which isnt far away now.
Dad and I seemed to have lots on Saturday, and Joseph came back home today- so hes staying with us for a few days, we will have to see what happens there.
The weather was lovely today, I think I heard you had a lovely day too, I havent checked though as I seem to be have been asleep all afternoon.
Have a lovely day, I will catch up with you some time tomrrow.
lots of love to all.
