Just a little post to let you know that you can now buy Spoonful from spoonfulzine.com!
So, if you’re not that into Etsy, or wish to avoid their fee - (and let’s face it, who doesn’t…) you can buy them from our site. We’re still building the actual site, but it’s nice to put a face to the name at least, isn’t it? hehe

1. Lately I have been busily packing Spoonfuls into yummy envelopes like a good little munchkin. I’m impressed with the people this organised before Christmas and already ordered their stocking stuffers (oh oh, I will make a solitary post about it, but you can now buy Spoonfuls here…)! Wish I had even an inkling of what I was going to purchase my dear ones :) It’s also a majorly satisfying and exciting moment to be able to send off Spoonful into the world on little postal wings… Dying to hear what the recipients think!!
2. Munching a kiwi fruit as I upload these photos for you - Miam! (as Pia would say :) I nearly had an intertack (code word for blogging/internet heart attack) when I saw that Pia, the amazing inspiring and insanely talented Stylist and blogger had featured ‘for the visionaries’ as one of her ‘Blogs in the Spotlight’ at the moment - eeeeeeeeeeek! The Excitement!!! Pia’s links are always so beautiful that I spend a good amount of procrastination time yearning mournfully at the on-screen talent, so thanks Pia! Totally chuffed! And now for 3. The Show:
Last night - we got a surprise present.
For no reason whatsoever (well, at least that we could think of or google) there was a gorgeous impromptu fireworks display over the waters… Oh the colours! I particularly loved the slow and silent fall of these glowing red lanterns… they looked like huge fire-flies, floating in the sky…
They reminded me of Christmas a little. Got me in the festive mood… you know… Red, floaty, nostalgic and somewhere, somehow there’s a hint of cinnamon in the air…

May, with the greatest amount of pleasure & a huge smattering of pride, introduce you, beautiful visionaries, to the cover of Spoonful! (which I’m sure by now you are completely sick of hearing about!!)
The cover image is taken by the amazingly talented Yosigo and I just can’t stop looking at it! He’s captured such a moment of looking up… hasn’t he?
Unfortunately I am still working on the website for spoonful - which is an insanely surprising amount of work, and as a result, in November I am turning to a little Plan B, which is to start an etsy shop & a fecbook page first, whilst we wait for the site to be completed (otherwise some lucky munchkins who were wanting to buy their Spoonful’s as soulful stocking-stuffers would miss out, and well, that would just be silly considering I have a box of spoonful’s sitting next to me here & waiting to be sent out!)
So, I have started, for the moment, an etsy shop here:

And a facebook page, here:

And I would love to hear your feedback on anything & everything to come. Hope you guys are soldiering on with your various vital and similarly insane (hehe) dreams!!

Working very busily here @ forthevisionaries & Spoonful headquarters trying to set up online site so that people can FINALLY buy Spoonful. Very exciting, very intensive, and have a list about as long as the entirity of human history to get through so won’t chat long.
LOVE Paul D. Hunt’s Typography! Isn’t it gorgeous? I’m definitely a little more shiny after seeing it :)

This Post is filled with the beautiful loveliness of my amazing mom.
First of all, Shabbat Flowers!! It’s such a lovely tradition (& excuse) to have flowers about the house, and it makes the weekend that little bit extra special. A gift for surviving the week! hehehe
So, aside from buying the gorgeous native flowers my mom also sent me this quote which we are pondering over:
Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out. -anonymous
I think we agreed that it’s right, but only partially. Sometimes, the way you view something COMPLETELY transforms the experience. You know, ‘the art of looking sideways’ is not called an art for nothing ;) But then other times it’s not necessarily so. Despite this, I think it’s good we have a reminder for us to try to see things differently.
Do you guys agree? challenging one…
hmmm…

Imagine if we all had teeny tiny little lighthouses on our shoulders, guiding our way to where we needed to go next in life… Sigh… wouldn’t that be nice?

Well, I figured as I had the fresh blueberries, and as I had to wait anyway, I might as well wait with home-baked snacks!! These Blueberry Muffins are amaaazingly yummy, took a this fresh batch hot out the oven to Mr Visionary & his work mates to have a good old fashioned tea-time with goodies.
The blueberry romance continues…

Stumbled upon this image of a meteor shower quite by accident today and the image caught some whisp of my imagination. Isn’t it beautiful?
The website on which I discovered it explains what a meteor is, (pieces of rock that have broken off a comet & continue to orbit the sun…) and in their explanation this beautiful line jumped out:
“Some meteorites are heavy. They contain metals from other worlds.”
Hmmm, ‘from other worlds’ kinda cool.

Well, we’ve only heard this proverb about a billion times, but I’m afraid it’s true this time too.
Much like waiting for a banana to ripen and reach just the right colour. Spoonful has had to go into the colour doctor at the printers to get the colours right. Initial Proofs needed changing twice… but I think we’ve finally fine-tuned it enough for the mags to be out friday…
So that patience is going to have to eek itself out for us a little longer - sigh.

P.S. Fabulous colour calendar here.
Ooh! It’s a GORGEOUS sun-blessed afternoon here in Sydney.
There Ferries are bustling about like children around the dinner table and we even have a peek at what’s going on the harbour bridge for the New Years celebrations - Yay!

I’m taking part in my first Modish Monthly Goal Meet-Up to help me along with getting work done and not feeling alone in my insanity :)
We have to post to our blogs our list for what we plan to do this month and then get back together assessing how far we’ve gone. So here is my overly ambitious list!! Quite a whopper! This time of year always is…
