I got angry before at someone who expressed some really gross and hurtful things about fat people, and like usual, I was conflicted about my response soon after. As a woman, I was taught that to respond with anger, haughtiness or questioning is a big No No. A woman is supposed to quell her outrage…

Revealing my Disband pieces
By all accounts the Disband opening went well, and was well-received! Horah to Renee-Anne and Angela for organising another smashing show! In addition to designing the logo and poster, I exhibited three pieces and now that the show has officially opened I can grant you a looksee too. There are rooms in this house that…

Friday Fance: as yet unnamed
Rachel O’Neill‘s velcro pieces are so playful and give me lots of ideas for DIY projects! She creates beautiful pieces on commission for events, but I’d want a large light fitting like this for keeps. This photo is from decor8, and it’s supposed to be about the wallpaper by Turner Pocock BUT it’s really all…
DIY Project: Fringe Skirt
Heyyy, wanna make a fun fringy skirt that flicks when you move your hips? I have been a bit sad recently because I don’t have money for things like new clothes, even if they are awesome clothes like City Chic‘s fringed skirt (which has now sold out on the website!) See how rad this skirt…
It’s nice to share

I’m not a huge “affirmation” person but this is too cute. “if all you needed to get fat was eat an order of pancakes we’d all be fucked” by Natalie Dee Well, well, well…isn’t this interesting… Bri from Fat Lot…
Archive this!
I got an email the other day from the National Library of Australia, asking if I would grant a license for my blog to be archived in PANDORA for perpetuity. Not really understanding the awesomeness of this, I turned to Twitter… to find out that this was in fact, a Big Deal. The National Library…
Stones Corner Yarnbombing
Today Nick and I toddled down to Stones Corner to hang out with some friends who were in the area, and I was excited to see that the area had been yarnbombed. I knew there was a yarnbombing event coming up (psst, go here and confirm your attendance!) but I didn’t know that the bombing…
lovedrobe: here to save me from black?
I wear a lot of black because it seems like it’s the only thing I can buy a lot of the time. Imagine my utter delight when I came across lovedrobe – a UK plus size clothing retailer who sell pretty, whimsical, femme garments in a number of lovely pastel colours! Frills, florals and rosettes!…
I drew for Charlie Mayfair
A little while ago I met a couple of lovely ladies from a band called Charlie Mayfair and they asked me to draw some things for their debut EP and a poster for the launch. It was really cool working with them. I’ve never had a client who actually let me indulge so deeply in…
