A few weeks ago, my beautiful Chicken asked me to marry him. Knelling down amongst shimmering candles layed out in a heartagram on the bedroom floor, he took my hand and asked me to be his wife. I, of course, said yes before he jumped back up, flames licking at his jeans – he had [...]
After months of planning and making and fussing, I am proud to introduce to you my new website (and new business) Candy Bownes Hair Bows & Accessories. I had been feeling lost for a while not having a little crafty project to keep me occupied. As much as I love to scrape book, I have [...]
I love camping. There is nothing like running away from the ruckus of everyday life and just relaxing with the real world around you. And my favourite place to do this? Friendly Beaches on the Freycinet Peninsula. Freycinet is on the East Coast of Tasmania, about a 2 and a half hour drive from our [...]
Sorry for the lack of posting the last week. Unfortunately I have been having some problems with my blog which I am trying to sort out at the moment, but it doesn’t help when my email is also down. I had posted the other day about reaching 1500 Youtube subscribers, but the post [...]
I have been playing around with a few more tribal tattoo designs, trying to come up with something for my Chicken. I thought that because my Infinity Rose tattoo on my hand is for him that it maybe interesting to come up with a tribal design based around the same symbol. I was [...]
It has been about a week since my last post because I have been playing around trying to find a new layout. I have finally decided on this one. I still have a few things I’d like to tweek and fix up before it’s complete but I think I’m rather happy with it so far. [...]
I first read about this in our local Newspapers “Odd Spot” and thought I just had to find the video. The New York City’s transit agency is now investigating the clip after one of the other passengers posted it on their blog. Animals are not permitted on the trains unless they are an [...]

Once again it seems like it has been forever since I last posted, thanks to a lack of Internet access, being in between dwellings and that chaotic phase of the year we call Christmas. Life has been so flat out of late, I am surprised that everything I see and experience doesn’t just whirl [...]
The last few weeks have been pretty emotionally hard for me. I’ve been battling pretty hard with my depression and bipolar so I have been quite a mess, making just the everyday seem like an impossible task. It has been pretty hard of my Chicken too seeing me like this and not really knowing what [...]
Yesterday I got myself a brand spanking new laptop. I am so happy with it! It’s just perfect for what I need, especially video editing. I am hoping to enter next years Sony Tropfest with a short film. I plan to film everything, then animate each frame, also adding in some of my own original [...]
This is a drawing of my beautiful Chicken. I know he doesn’t really look like a Chicken, but he is my Chicken and I love him with all that I have from the day we met over two years ago. We became great friends and in time, much more. He is everything I have ever [...]
