I could very happily see myself in this house… couldn’t you…?
I imagine cosy rooms filled with fresh flowers and places to read/draw/gather & bake… This, coupled with long outside strolls through garden, meadow and grass…
the sun on my face and the wind in my hair…
sighs…

pretty views though ;)
Thank you Sydney.

Did you guys see the goolecon today? It’s a pretty one :) I love Faberge Eggs. (I guess that’s predictable of me, isn’t it?) Anyhow, the design is in honour of their maker, Peter Carl Fabergé.
It had me looking up more faberge eggs and I found this amazing one… with little pages! An Eggful instead of a spoonful!
hehe

So we had a pancake afternoon on Sunday!
It was for our holiday where you eat naughty things like pancakes (with cheese) or cheescake (convenient isn’t it…?) hehe
Do you guys like pancakes? I’m a bit weird, they’re not my favourite, but I love all the sugary things that go on top and inside - hehe
Sugary things… yummmmmmmmm…

Being here, by Mark Garry
beautiful installation using threads, beads & pins.
I was chatting with someone today who said that he has almost lived 20 000 days. WOAW. That made me think…
Aside from the fact that that is an awesome way to celebrate a birthday - is it not? (Why don’t we celebrate in days as apposed to years, it seems much more impressive.) It made me realise how in numbers… our lives tick on…
He asked me how old I was and said I’d sort of just missed 10 000 (which is 27 years, 5 months if you’re wondering) which of course made me wonder how many days I’ve lived. I did the Math and as of today, I have lived 10 368 days. WOW.
That’s amazing isn’t it? It makes me want to do more in my days for some reason… they go so quickly… I mean if you live to 110 that’s only 40 150 days, which doesn’t seem like a lot of time. Sorry, not meaning to be morbid or anything, but it got me thinking about how we see time as this abstract far-off eternity and we live in days really, so we should try to make the most of them shouldn’t we? Hmmmm…
Happy Monday and happy thousand and somethingth day!

So the Zine Fair was great fun as usual! There’s such a buzzy creative crowd that always comes along, and the day passes by busily & happily. It’s definitely my favourite market of the year for Spoonfuls ;)
The lovely Francesca of ‘MaybeNextWeek’ took some pictures of our stall. What do you reckon? Our garland worked its magic I do believe ;)
Happy Monday Visionaries!

P.S. The gorgeous flowers that my mom bought for the stall! Happily at home now :)
Working on updating my design portfolio at the moment. I was meant to do it weeks ago and be finished by now - but as with all things personal… they drag a little.
I’ve been designing ads, logos, newsletters and catch-up jobs in the middle of everything and my poor portfolio keeps getting the back seat.
Tell me, What do you think of this as the cover (the white bit, of course :) ?
In Spoonful news, I have the zine fair at the MCA this Sunday! Pop by and say hello if you’re nearby!! I JUST picked up a whole batch of freshly printed Spoonful 7’s for the occasion!!!! YIPEEE!!!!
The smell of fresh happiness yet to find its home…. lovely…
Happy Friday Visionaries!!!

Things I have learned today:
1. Playing catch-up on things you meant to do in February, can take WAY longer than expected, and feel like you’re moving backwards, but as long as you’re doing what you love and honouring those who trusted you to support them, you must not lose heart. It will all work out in the end.
2. Everyone has a story. You should not make judgements or assume they have it easier/ their life is smoother. It’s not. Very humbled after reading this, and THIS today.
3. My husband is wise at unusual moments. It is nice to have someone wise at unusual moments in life.
4. I am person who likes to experience the world through emotional and physical discovery. *cudos to Rina for teaching me so.
Feeling lucky and in love with my family and friends …

This weekend, after a mother’s day walk & far too much birthday cake (alla my amazing sister who baked it :) we FINALLY got to put our books up on our newly painted Ikea Shelves. It’s pretty damn exciting (okay, so maybe not for you but for me :) There’s something about having your books out of boxes and on a shelf that makes somewhere more like home isn’t there?
Sigh they’re so beautiful and interesting… I love seeing what people have read… it tells you so much about them don’t you think?.
the obvious book-lover,

P.S. I ALSO FINALLY set up my Spoonflower Shop!!!! (a Spoonful of thea :)
You remember, those GEM FABRICS I made? Well you can buy them now, yay! More posts to come about this hopefully :)
I’m trying!
