February 18

Now that she's opened it, I can share the gift I made my sister for her birthday. We Aussies have a national penchant for souvenir teatowels, and Nettie and I are particularly fond of charming ones. So at around the time of the presidential inauguration, I began searching online for an Obama teatowel to send to Nettie. I failed to unearth anything that wasn't godawful, so I made my own. I cut a freezer paper stencil and used fabric paint on a large flour sack kitchen towel. Both the giver and the recipient are pretty happy with it!

I LOVE this! I want one!!
I'm secretly in love with Obama.
I even visit the White House website just to see pics of what he's been up to.

Happy?! I'm crazy about it!! I laughed with sheer delight, and took it to work to show what a clever sister I have. I don't care what Jools says ;) I AM IN LOVE WITH OBAMA. I love you, my dear sister. Thank you!

Brilliant! Does 'dish' mean the same thing in Oz and the US as it does here (i.e someone attractive and fanciable)?

Julie, yep!

Can I please book in for a personalised freezer paper stencil tutorial in, say, April?

Sister, of course!
