Squiddy is super cute

This is my newest ACEO ... Squiddy the Squid! I have been looking at lots of cute Kawaii things on Etsy, and I really like the big eyes. So I started drawing a whole bunch of underwater creatures, and then Australian Animals. Mum let me play with her twinkling H20's so I decided to make Squiddy into an ACEO. I really like it, so we put it in the shop today. Click here to go to the shop listing.

Paper dolls

I made this set of dolls yesterday. They are the emotion fairies including happy, mad, guilty and worried. I love making paper dolls!

Christmas has been busy!

I am really lucky. Mum and Dad gave us our own Australian Girl dolls for Christmas! Mum even made her a maxi dress to wear.

A few days before Christmas Mum won an ebay auction and now I have a trombone of my very own. It's old, but still shiny, and the slide is perfect. I am practicing every second day.

I passed my audition!

At band this morning we had our auditions to move up from training band into the concert band next year. I had to play 'Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree' and 2 other songs that I learned last week. I also had to play a piece of music I hadn't seen before, and I only got 2.5 out of 10 ... but I only really started trying to read from music properly last week, so Mum was really pleased. Best was getting 9/10 for my scales.

I will have a purple concert band t-shirt for performances, and Mum is looking for a trombone of my very own. It's really exciting, and tonight we had a special dinner to celebrate :D

I love Bugs!

Today I was picking some flowers for Mum, and I found this big praying mantis in the lavender garden. He was really interesting watch for a while, and Mum let me use her camera with the macro lens on to take some photos. I really like this one.

Tiny Kitty

Koala (my Brownie leader) brought this cute little kitten to show us last week. He was so teeny tiny, only 3 weeks old. Mum took lots of photos of him, and I got to hold him. He purred and purred, and fell asleep in my hand. I was very sad that he died the next day, but I'm glad I got to meet him.

On the slide!

This is my trombone ... well it's really the school's trombone, which I have on loan for this year. I have been practicing most days, and I'm getting better and better. My favourite tunes to play are "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" and "Minka Minka". I recently learned part of the "William Tell Overteur" which is really cool and I can play it faster now than I could at first.

I am saving and Mum is saving, and hopefully I will be able to have my own trombone next year, and move up from the training band to the concert band at school.
