Australian, into music—Eurovision and retro stuff—and I try not to get too obsessed with politics. I sing in serious choirs and teach and play some instruments. And I quilt.
Gen X here. So far 2 out of 10 have made it. #hottest100

Husband who is counting votes for AEC is reporting one of the informal senate ballots looking like this 😂😂 with all the cutout bits included (not actual ballot as pics not allowed) #auspol #ausvotes2025

I thought Kevin 07 was this popular but actually the last time Labor won this many seats was in 1987 under Bob Hawke. #ausvotes #ausvotes2025 #auspol

My wonky house of reps cheesecake for election party tonight #auspol #ausvotes
Had to sift through an enormous packet of m&ms to get the colours.

I love how Sportsbet has “Any other candidate” miles ahead of Coalition to win the seat of McMahon. Could be a reflection of the number of Greens corflutes everywhere here. I don’t expect Labor to lose this but will be interesting. #auspol #ausvotes

A visit to the National Gallery of Australia to see the Dangar/Carrick exhibition and so delighted to see a Monet water lillies painting. But the surprising part was that there was literally no one else looking at this, I had it all to myself to stare at for ages.

Here’s what I’ve done so far. I’m keeping them in small chunks until the end so I can take this anywhere, otherwise too cumbersome. Anyway hopefully after all this time it’ll turn out ok.

And I’ve made quite a start now in stitching them together, keeping track on a spreadsheet on my phone /5

It took me five years going through scrap bags at bargain shops to get all the right colours and baste them into hexagon cards. I lost interest in this project many many times. But they’re all collected, basted and numbered now. 539 hexies. /4

The software also generated a list of how many hexies I need of each colour. There’s seven pages of this. /3

Here’s my #EPP project. Years ago I found a lovely pic online and put it through a quilt software to generate a pattern. I can’t find the original pic but here’s how it looks in hexagons. /2

My #bestthing yesterday was finishing my checkerboard quilt top which took me three months. It came out much better than I thought it would.

Check out the Golden Globes Best Picture Drama nominees, then check out the Best Female Actor Drama nominees, and count how many of those movies overlap. #goldenglobes
