 The second last day of the 29 Faces Art Challenge ... this is the last of the May Gibbs inspired faces - Gumnut Girl. Now that I see all four - it's a good celebration of the classic Australian favourite bush baby characters.

Countdown to Christmas 20 - Fruitcake song!

There are many songs about fruit cakes  - not all of them referring to the Christmas cake we know and love.It is really surprising to learn via Google that there are 89 listed songs with references to Christmas cake or fruit cake - not all of them complimentary.   Probably one of the most famous folk songs about Christmas cake is Miss Fogarty's  Christmas Cake (a favourite sung by The Irish Rovers).  This first recorded comical Christmas song was written by C Frank Horn in 1883 in Pennsylania, as a variation of an Irish folk song, 'Miss Mulligan's Christmas Cake' . The chorus might give you the hint that Miss Fogarty's cake was not for the faint hearted or those who suffered from a weak stomach.    Chorus : There were plums and prunes and cherries, There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too There was nutmeg, cloves and berries And a crust that was nailed on with glue There were caraway seeds in abundance Such that...

Christmas Countdown 3 ; Christmas tree # 23 - Mannequins and Motors

Mannequin   and Mercedes Benz logo Christmas trees  Advent Blog Day 23 - Mannequins and Motors ... or... What does a Mannequin have in common with a Mercedes Benz?   I have been in such a dilemma as I have so few days left and so many Christmas trees I want to feature.  So, in the spirit of balance today, I've combined a couple of categories into the theme of Mannequins and Motors -   winsome wonders and winning wheels ....  Mannequin and motor oil   Christmas trees  Hubcaps and Mannequin Christmas trees  Not satisfied with auto parts?

Countdown to Christmas 11 - What to do with Leftover Cake?

I never have this problem - I never have uneaten fruitcake. Having discovered there is quite a large percentage of the world's population who hate fruitcake, I have also discovered so many suggestions of what to do with fruitcake leftover after Christmas, not only leftover cake, but uncut cake! Of the many lists, I think the most popular use for a whole fruitcake is to use it as a doorstop. This image suggests that it might have been preserved, with a coat of lacquer?   Other popular suggestions are:  - paper weight - holder for the Christmas tree  - boat anchor  - stand on the cake to change a light bulb  - book ends in the library  - weight for a camping tent  - building material  - speed bump  - instead of a jack when changing a car tyre  - step for gym class  - ballast for a hot air balloon  - airliner or caravan wheel blocks  - target practice   My favourite three uses for ...
