Tumblr has been having a lot of “maintenance issues” lately, but I was heartened to see this marriage proposal on my dashboard just then!
Lettering, a lolly and a lady
This month the lovely Lady Melbourne is being lovely on the cover of Peppermint magazine; my lettering is quite chuffed to hover at her shoulder! And most exciting, Peppermint won three awards for design and sustainability at the Publisher’s Australia Excellence Awards. Congratulations, I feel awesome by proxy having worked with you Kelley!
The Ezibuy Wardrobe Challenge
A few weeks ago I was asked to take part in the Ezibuy Wardrobe Challenge, and was totally honoured to be thought of for the experience! Essentially, the challenge is this: 10 key pieces means you can create 21 different looks to take you from casual to dressy. I selected seven items from the Sara…
You’ve got red on you
I bought these lovely velvety, brainy-looking Celosia from the markets because they are such fascinating looking flowers! The stems are green but have threads of the red through them and they reminded me so much of rhubarb that I wasn’t surprised to read on the wikipedia page you can eat some variants of these flowers.…
Birthday wants!
My birthday is five days out from Giftmas (December 20) and (get out your little violins) my celebrations are usually overlooked because people have engagements and stuff to buy. So it usually ends up with me having a pity party and eating worms. Allow me this one indulgence: to compile a list of the awesome…
Friday Fance: House of Fance
I’ve been watching a lot of Grand Designs lately, and one episode in particular caught my imagination. A couple bought a disused water works building and pretty much converted the entire building themselves into a home with a huge living area, while maintaining the integrity of the materials used in the original building. You can…
Happy birthday November babies
Today is my husband’s 30th birthday – he storms into his third decade on earth with panache! My sister celebrated her birthday on November 3, or Melbourne Cup day. She was rather sozzled :P
Augmented Reality and Esquire magazine
I just stepped into the 21st century the other week: I got an iPhone. The best part about having an iPhone is having an iPhone – they’re just so lovely and sleek and well designed. It’s like having the internet by my side, where ever I am (so long as I have Optus coverage!) I’ve…
I just wanted to remind you…
to LUNCHDOODLE! I have been a little busy in the last week or so, but I’ve still managed to do a few doodles. I really can’t recommend this highly enough if you want to strengthen your visual-spatial metaphor skills (basically, drawing stuff!) Here are the doodles I’ve been most proud of: Today’s theme is “Elbow…
Friday Fance: cats, mangos and whimsy
⇒ I wonder what makes cats so fancy? I’m not a cat person myself, but I can’t deny Caitlin Shearer’s Leaning Tower of Cats has far too much whimsy for it’s own good! Caitlin will also be participating in Once Upon – her fairy tale is Cinderella. ⇒ There is nothing better than mango. NOTHING!…
