Batty Rie's Creations Nothing makes my heart sing more than the thrill of creating be it art, cooking, gardening or sewing. Now that I don't mind telling you is impressive! xx

Hi All,

Batty Rie's Creations is the result of one frustrated Drama teacher's need to express herself creatively. After the birth of my 14 year old daughter Kira, who has Cerebral Palsy, I was forced to place my teaching career on hold and take on the more important and rewarding role as her carer. Over the years my need to express my creativity has exploded in the form of pieces of rie-loved fu

rniture, art, garden creations, costumes, cakes, birthday parties that were bigger than Ben Hur... you name it. With a lot of encouragement from my friends, I decided that maybe it was time to bite the bullet and instead of keeping my brand of crazy all to myself, that I should start selling my Batty Creations to others or at the very least enjoy a bit of "Show and Tell." My love of the quirky and a need for colour in my day, have lead to some seriously fun and rewarding projects. As time has gone on, my page has become more of a place to share my ideas as a busy mum of 2, including the ramblings and advice of a special needs parent, cooking, gardening and or course 'how to's' and inspiration for DIY projects. The only limitation to our abilities are those that we place upon ourselves. With a little research on Youtube and Pinterest, a lot of practice and a can do attitude, I have achieved far more around my home than I ever dreamed possible. Even laying vinyl floor boards and changing the taps in my bathroom sink. So feel free to think of BRC as my personal backyard version of Better Homes and Gardens. As my creations simply depend on what inspiration floats through my window, you never know what project I will be working on next... Feel free to PM me if you have any enquiries or special order requests. I hope you like what I have been up to and that you will take the time to share my page with your friends? It's good to be Batty sometimes...

Have a happy day,

Rie.

Jocelyn is giving a pair of Kmart Docs a glow-up… Jack Skellington style! It’s only day one, but they are already looking pretty neat. Surf Paints, Posca and Kmart acrylic paint markers for the win!

Aleaha is making her very own bespoke Bratz doll. So far she’s looking pretty fabulous! We started with a generic Monster High knock off doll from Kmart, as the head was about the right shape. Not only have we removed her face with acetone and begun to paint on a Bratz Doll face, but we have also enhanced her ‘assets‘ to make her more curvaceous. Once we were happy with her new curves we added a couple of coats of a sun kisssed skin colour base paint. (Please excuse her naked bits. After all it’s all in the name of art. What’s good for Michelangelo is surely ok for us too 😝)

We’re also planning on sewing her an outfit and possibly making some accessories. Aves Apoxie Sculpt is one seriously amazing product. Just like the glue, you mix equal parts of A and b together, it sticks to just about anything and is relatively easy to sculpt with. 30 minutes later it sets like a ceramic. It’s then fully sandable and paintable. What do you think so far?pretty neat huh?!

💙 WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE NDIS?

There are some big changes ahead — and we know many people are feeling worried, confused and uncertain about what this could mean for their supports.

From 1 April 2027, the NDIA will begin gradually introducing the new Support Needs Assessment (SNA) as part of the new way of planning.

For Deaf, Deaf Plus and people with complex communication needs, preparation and communication access will matter.

🔹 Make your invisible supports visible
🔹 Explain what help you need throughout an ordinary day
🔹 Identify prompting, supervision, communication and safety needs
🔹 Request your communication adjustments before the assessment
🔹 Consider having an advocate, support person and/or Auslan interpreter with you
🔹 Where possible, we highly recommend an in-person assessment

And remember: your assessor may be trained to administer the assessment, but they may not have lived or professional experience of your particular disability.

You know your life. Make sure the support behind what you can do is understood.

💜 We are in this together.

Deaf Plus Australia is seeking Expressions of Interest for Auslan Accessible Community Chats where we can unpack the changes, ask questions, share information and help our community prepare together.

🤟 Deaf, Deaf Plus, families, carers and people with disability are welcome.

Interested? Contact us and help shape the conversations.

Every way of communicating is valid.
