25.01.2022 Today Im painting on glass...but when I need a break of concentration...what a view from the window in front of my desk! We were very fortunate to receive almost 5 inches of steady soaking rain over 2 weeks in January and another 45pts so far this month. . .... . #lovetheview #betterinblackall #happydays See more

22.01.2022 I have ground to halt at the moment as my kiln needs a new relay. Really, really frustrating when I have orders waiting to be made. Unfortunately it has to come out of China...so could take FOREVER! I did get these coasters featuring pretty red poppies made while working on an order.... These and much more are available at https://playingwithglass.myshopify.com/

20.01.2022 I wonder what could be happening? Stay tuned to find out!

20.01.2022 Yay! Posting day tomorrow! You dont want to be standing behind me in the queue!

20.01.2022 I know its been very quiet here...you know that relay Im waiting on? Well Im still waiting!! However we have been very busy.......why? Because in amongst this social distancing and self isolation...we are relocating! Packing, cleaning 2 houses (including the one were moving in to) and unpacking is HUGE! ... Add to that, we now have a year 11 student doing his studies and TAFE from home. Yesterday, I started packing up some of my glass room..a massive task. I came across these coasters while sorting. I have 3 sets of 6 and a set of 4 poppy coasters available. Just go to the top of my page and click on SHOP NOW and youll be taken straight to the link. Get in early as they sell quickly!

18.01.2022 I love this! . . . Fused...slumped tonight...and already sold. ... #glassart #handmade #madebyanaussiefarmer #buyregionsl #buylocal #australianmade #playingwithglass

16.01.2022 It was exciting to crack the kiln this morning and find this beauty! . . When I was first sent the picture of the Tree of Life, I wondered what Id let myself in for. .... My husbands reaction was...youre not contemplating doing that are you!? He of little faith! There was a way! . . Its now packed up ready to head off to its new and Ive started the next project! #Buylocal #Buyregional #Handmade #Glassart #Playingwithglass #onedayclosertorain #interiordecor #RuralCottageCraft #HandmadeByAnAussieFarmer #Buyfromthebush

15.01.2022 Weve enjoyed some lovely rain today...slow steady rain...couldnt be better! We were supposed to truck weaners into the sale...but the rain is much needed and the weaners will be bigger and fatter (hopefully) in a month. Ive been very busy in the glass room, but feeling very frustrated by the power outage. Luckily it went out only a few hours after I changed the load in the kiln, but with so many decorations to make, I can ill afford to lose a firing session. Oh w...ell! With the rain we have much cooler weather and my little supervisor needed to keep warm. Apparently supervising is an exhausting job!

15.01.2022 Where did 2019 go?? It seemed to whizz through at a lightningpace! The support I have received has been amazing and I cannot thank you enough. . .... . I have now started on my orders for 2020! Happy New Years Eve to all and stay safe!

15.01.2022 Well be having a stall at the Festive Fiesta next Friday evening and can help with those last minute Christmas gift shoppers and will also have Christmas decorations available. It should be a terrific evening and a great community get-together! . .... . See you there! P.S. I wonder if I can get my husband and son in a photo with ??? #betterinblackall

15.01.2022 Wishing you all a very Happy 2020...praying that everyone stays safe from these horrific fires and we all soon receive ground-soaking, dam-filling rains.

13.01.2022 Thank you everyone! I am absolutely overwhelmed by the support you have shown me and my little business! Not only have you bought all of the Christmas decorations I had on hand, the orders have poured in! I am at a stage where I cannot take anymore orders before Christmas. ... If I have already had a query from you, that order can proceed. You have put the biggest smiles in my heart and I cannot thank you enough for that! Your support is very special and I cannot thank you enough.

12.01.2022 So awesome to see our little town make the news! Were very happy with the 38mm weve received on our property. Hopefully a wet summer is in order.

09.01.2022 Im so EXCITED! . Playing with Glass now has a SHOP! Click on the SHOP NOW button and have fun exploring. ... Not everything is uploaded yet, but it will be happening as soon as I can. This wouldnt have happened without the help and support Kathryn, my awesome tech guru and Wendy, my wordsmith. I owe them big time! My items are generally one-offs as I like to keep everything individual and not mass produced, the only exception is Christmas decorations. Dont worry, Ill still be taking orders. Please, check out the new Playing with Glass shop....and Id love your feedback!

08.01.2022 Wishing my lovely Mum and all the other mums a very special day.

03.01.2022 Post Christmas Sale coming up! Stay tuned!

03.01.2022 Yesterday we were watching storms build up and go around, build up and go around and had almost given up hope. Cant wipe the smiles from our faces this morning as we received 370pts/92.5mm overnight.

03.01.2022 ******Currently the bidding is at $150. This auction closes 8pm tomorrow!***** We have been in drought for for too long and yes, the years have been tough. But we have stock, we have water and we have our home. . .... Sadly that isnt the situation for those in parts of New South Wales and Victoria. The situation is horrific, with so many losing everything. . . In an effort to do something to support them, this platter is being auctioned with 100% proceeds to the Red Cross to support those in both states. . The platter is 28cm square so is quite large. . The auction will end at 8pm on Thursday 9 January. . The successful bidder will be asked to go to https://www.redcross.org.au//disaster-relief-and-recovery- and pay the winning then, after emailing the charity receipt, the platter will be posted. . . Please, please, please...share this post everywhere so we can raise as much as possible! See more
