Have you ever felt the urge to enthusiastically hug someone or something with a running start? This is what is known as a Tacklehug and it is exactly this response I hope to evoke in you every time you see a one of my individually designed products.
I also offer private art classes to students aged between 4-13 years of age (if you are in the Adelaide area!)

Bucket Baths and Best Friends





The last week has been a challenge, with 4 children and 3 adults packed into the Hyundi IMax (the fun bus, I think not), on the road trip from Sydney to Adelaide.  Loving the buckets given to us by The Pretty Ladies back in the 'rith when the twins were born: can't explain how many uses they have had, the latest being a bathtub whilst on the road.  Boring old baths are never this much fun.
Also loving catching up with my gorgeous niece Lizey Lou, and her dog Bonnie. I love this photo of a casual "you're my best mate hug" (even better that Lizey is cuddling up to a Tacklehug product!)  Eliza is a crack up, she named her first Tacklehug Doll "Nikky" and when she was given her second, after much deep thought she named her "Nikky-kai-yay" Goodness knows where that one came from!  Now we have safely arrived back in Adelaide, glad to have survived the onslaught of locusts and a little bit sad that dad couldn't quite avoid the massive goanna that decided to catch some rays on the Sturt Highway.  Sorry Anna Goanna. RIP.
Also very happy to have made an etsy sale amidst this chaos. Batman and Robin are on their way to the United States very soon.  I will make a public promise here to do more housekeeping on my etsy site and try try try much harder to get some more products up soon.
Aaahhhh, Hello Adelaide. Nice to be here again.

    Aawww, thanks Jo, you're a sweetie. I miss your kid's smiley faces. I miss the giant car park and I miss having a routine!!!
    I'm sad that our tennant has completely neglected our garden but at least we will have a clean slate to work with!!!
    Lucky we left when we did, the floods may have held us up if we'd left it any later. Anyway, off to meet Charlie's new principal today, hope he can impress as they had no record of his enrolement!!!
