Before you ask, no I have no intention of ever actually reading The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (bottom book) - but somehow my life is enriched by merely owning it (although lets not start on the whole 'if children who have more than 20 books in their house are smarter... maybe we should send every kid 20 books and thus make them all smarter!' problem of being enriched by merely owning things of a bookish nature). I find reading plays to be quite pointless - they weren't designed to be experienced that way, it's kind of like sitting down to read a sheet of music. Music is meant to be played, and plays are meant to be acted.
I must endeavour to make something of a new and interesting nature at some point for my Etsy shop. I'm starting to suspect that this blog possibly gets more hits than the shop it claims to be promoting (although not doing a terribly good job of, one must admit). If you're not interested in my shop, you should definitely check out fridays child, whose art is absolutely adorable and has just started listing some funky t-shirts! (plus they're a fellow Aussie!).
In other extremely mundane news, I earlier spent a frustrating ten minutes or so looking for my camera, only to discover that somehow it had ended up inside the book/box contraption I made a couple of weeks ago:
So there you have it, it does function as an effective hiding place.

I also have books in my collection that I'll likely never read. Just checked out 'fridays child' & really like their stuff. Thanks for posting the link. I noticed they have a blog also, so I'm keen to have a look at that!
I made an pact with myself to not buy any more books until I read all the books on my shelf that I bought and intended to read, but never got around to it.
I actually got through most of them before I broke down and bought new books.
I'm sure my blog gets more attention than my shop, too. But you never know who might click over, I suppose!
And I love wee Darth! Hehehe
