Kildare Road Medical Centre welcomed Roocci
art into the Creche area of their brand new centre. Roocci artwork
decorates the lift and the top floor where the kids will have brand
new facilities. I really enjoyed doing the artwork this week! With
a holistic ethic to medical care, and fantastic state of the art
building I am excited to have been a part of it. PS: These are really
blurry photos from my phone but will go back and get some better
ones next week.;)

Feaured above: Platypus Puddles Drybib, design by Roocci!
AVAILABLE NOW! Click here...
Very excited
to announce that Roocci has teamed up with leading bib makers "Drybib"
to produce their amazing bibs with Roocci designs! You can purchase
these Drybibs from the Roocci website here!
Every
DryBib and BandanaBib has a thin layer of fleece, which absorbs
and disperses all dribbles. The special fleece is ‘air-rated’ so
the air lets the moisture evaporate straight away. There will be
no wet clothes and no saliva rash on your baby.The bibs come in
many exciting and fashionable colours and patterns.The front is
100% polyester. The back is 100% air-rated Polyester fleece.
The studs are nickel free. Drybib does not use child-labour to produce
Dry bibs and actually find it highly disturbing that products for
Aussie kids could be made by other kids. DryBib is proudly “Made
in Australia”. Drybib does not use potentially harmful plastic or
PVC.

The"Touched by Olivia"
Fair was great! Thanks so much to the people that came down to see
me and bought some great Christmas presents. All
funds from the Family Fun Fair 08 will go towards Phase 2 of building
an all abilities playground at Timbrell Park. And they raised over
$70 000 through the fair! To find out more, visit www.touchedbyolivia.com.au

It threatened rain but never did! In fact we had the best weather
for a fair which is nice and overcast so everyone doesn't get too
sunburnt.
I love setting up a nice display. The challenge is that it's different
everywhere you go especially when you do a new market every now
and then. Sometimes just a table and umbrella, sometimes a gazebo.
And the weather can range from freezing to boiling to wind and rain.
And sometimes it's just perfect. Anyhoo, it's never dull and it's
great to mix all those colours together and show people what you
can do with Roocci art.
I hung all my canvases around the tent roof which made standing up
a bit hard. That black lump is puppy Charlie who came to visit at
the end of the day, yeah! We went for a walk after the fair along
the water beside the park.

Roocci will be at the Castle Hill
Showground Twilight Christmas Fair
Friday 5th December
Castle Hill Showground
Friday 5th December
4pm - 8pm
Established in 1958, Inala, meaning ‘place of peace’
and is a not-for-profit organisation supporting individuals with
disabilities. It was a great day - a day of peace - at their annual
fundraiser. I had a great spot under a big tree and the little animal
paintings looked like they were climbing up the branches. It was
the best event I have done this year, with the students at Inala
providing the best entertainment ever with laughs and tears from
everyone who was there.I think that the event was just terrific
with fantastic weather and a great crowd. Sharni deserves a big
thanks for organising it so well and if I met you there thanks for
dropping by.

AWESOME time had at the Sydney's
Pregnancy, Babies and Children's Expo
Hi to all - the PCB Expo was just AWESOME - it was great to meet
so many new people and I had an absolutely amazing time, presenting
Roocci art to some for the first time, some for the second time
having already seen it in Westmead Private hospital or in babies
stores. I was absolutely thrilled at the response and also at meeting
so many new bubs and expectant mums who will now have Australian
animal art on the wall for their kids to grow up with.
Melbournians should stay tuned to this page for further details
as I am currently looking at doing the Melbourne PCB Expo in October.
Northwest Private Hospital
Mural
In April I had the priviledge of painting
a mural for Brisbane's Northwest Private Hsopital. Thanks to the
wonderful nursing staff who made my visit so enjoyable and to the
parents and family of the new bubbas being born during my stay -
I hope the new mural in Special Care makes a big difference to your
stay at the hospital and reflects the enormous love, care and skill
of the nursing staff. Click HERE
