This has been an overwhelming and stressful week for me, so I have lain low in order to reflect and recuperate, but I wanted to mark this occasion with a post. Australia has a new Prime Minister, and she is a woman – an unmarried non-religious and childless woman! I’ve never felt so represented. It’s…

It’s nice to share
First something shameless, but it’s a good deal so I had to share! Red Bubble are currently running a 20% off promotion on canvas and framed prints. If you like my work you can take a look here and see if there’s anything you’d like to decorate your house with, but if you don’t see…
Confessions of a former snarker
To know me is to watch me change. I’ve had about five different hair colours in the last year, but that’s not what I mean. I want to talk about changing my mind, my outlook, and my behaviour. It’s highly unrealistic to have a picture of someone in your mind that never changes, yet it’s…

Print & Pattern This book has been curated by Bowie Style, the author of the Print & Pattern blog which was one of the first blogs I ever subscribed to via RSS! Past & Present: Paisley on Design*Sponge If you’re interested in the history of the paisley motif and issues of cultural appropriation, you should…
A feminist post, accidentally on purpose?
This chart for discerning a wife’s wifeliness just popped up in my dashboard on Tumblr, and I had a little giggle about it and though I should post it here for some lite blog content over the holiday period. I thought I should credit the original source, The Art of Manliness, because that’s the polite…
