I wore this to my cousin’s wedding on Saturday which was held in some beautiful venues half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The church was positioned in the middle of cane fields, and paired with the magnificent blue sky and the fluffy clouds it was the perfect day! The reception was at the…

Go go Hipstamatic
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, so I have found myself recording photographs and moments with my iPhone. I have a Canon IXUS but the iPhone is just so handy, and I always have it with me. I’m still a total Hipstamatic tragic, and I’ve gladly indoctrinated many of my friends too :D The…
Goodbye Pete
This morning my uncle Pete died after battling pancreatic and liver cancer. There’s not much I can write that doesn’t sound cliched, but he was a great man… actually he was the kind of man this sort of thing shouldn’t happen to. Unfortunately cancer doesn’t care how nice a person you are, or how many…
Florals for a drizzly day
Yesterday was a big day. I set off early to visit my grandmother down the coast with my sisters, but we had to come back shortly after lunch because one of my uncles is very sick in hospital with pancreatic and liver cancer and it’s not looking good. It was a pretty sad day, and…
For Dad, Boonge or Atticus
Today is my Dad’s birthday! I’m not sure I’ve posted photos from when I was a little girl, but today is probably the best day to do this because my Dad’s moustache was hilarious and there’s no better day to make fun of your father than his birthday! The day I was born. Look at…
It’s Boxing Day!
Ahh the day of fussing over hangovers, and wondering what on earth you’re going to do with all this stuff you were given yesterday. And shopping the sales, if you do that sort of thing (I’ve only done it once, never again!) I hope you all had a safe and happy day yesterday, and that…
Happy birthday Amanda
Today is my sister’s birthday! I made her a head piece out of a remnant of sky blue satin and drew her this card. Sometimes I think it’d be a lot easier if I just bought presents from the shops! Happy birthday Manda. Annnnd I wanted to leave a photo of her dog, Stanley. He…
Happy Father’s Day!
It’s Father’s Day in Australia and New Zealand tonight, so we went over to Mum and Dad’s to have a big family dinner. I gave Dad this card, which I made from reclaimed materials (including: card from Reverse Garbage, drawing from my notebook and paper from Frankie magazine). We also made Dad special home made…
Thanks for being awesome and stuff.
I have discovered that a big part of what I do involves buttloads of time and love. People must think I’m crazy for spending hours drawing tiny lines or baking things from scratch, but it’s one of the only ways my primitive consciousness knows how to properly convey love and affection. A small part of…
A post about my sisters
My sister visited the Jurlique Farm a few weeks ago and took this photo of some Chamomile flowers. They are so cute, you can imagine one as a kind of ridiculous hat! I painted this for my other sister’s birthday. She’s been travelling Greece and Egypt and is in London at the moment. Her birthday…
