So now that I’ve shared Spoonful 2 with you (yay!) I can show you our images from the MCA zine fair! I brought issue 2 there for its first outing and it was such a lovely day! The Sydney Zine Fair has a great arty buzz about it… fabulous customers, wonderfully talented sellers and lots of little goodies - hehe I had a great day basically :)
Thanks to my lovely mom & sister and...

Greetings Visionaries!
May I very proudly, and FINALLY!!! I mean seriously, how long has it taken me…) present to you, the very exciting, & brand new Spoonful, Issue 2. Yay!!!!!!!!!! It’s been such a thrill to finally send this lovely out into the great wide world. There are so many new sections that were so much fun to work on. Isadora Filcovic, a truly magic photographer...
So today I am being productive!! ( & of course, looking up at the sky and remembering to breathe, hehe thanks lyptis :)
I am building a little shop for Spoonful at Bigcartel so that I can sell more than one issue easily, and whilst this happens, and the vacuming, posting, emailing, & organising gets done, I took a little moment & made a little ‘roowrap’ for a Spoonful...
So it’s a very rainy grey day here in Sydney and despite meaning to get a lot done (I sure have enough work on the endless list!!) I seem to have gotten not much of it done at all. You know those days? When you’re so busy finding time that time illudes you to go and hang out with someone else? Yeah well… that’s my day it seems…
I did however, bake some yummy...
3000 years later… thea comes back online ;)
It’s been a crazy time. The Spoonful deadline kept me up all night followed by printing dramas (why are there always printing dramas?) and editing deadlines for paid work. However, in the online quiet and the offline insanity, I have learnt so much practical knowledge about how to set up files for printing and how to get the colours you...

After too few hours sleep, immense self-doubt, stress, jet lag and EMBARRASING amounts of naughty food-consumption, I can proudly say that Spoonful Issue #2 is FINALLY at the printers!!! YAY!!!!!! relief and vague sights of all the work I have ahead of me, second-time round is not nearly as terrifying or clueless, which is a good AND bad thing as now I know how...
Home Sweet sweet busy home now!
Short Post therefore, as I realised once I’d landed that I had exactly 2 days or something silly to FINISH Spoonful #2 and have it off to the printers - eeeeeeeeeeek! So it’s all stations to attention!
In my experiences with creating collating and pondering regarding Spoonful, due to its content I’ve often collided with and faced the...
Greetings Visionaries! My Last Post in the United States! I feel like the whirlwind has done it’s name justice and literally whirled by… don’t tell anyone, (she says to the internet) but to be honest I’m so so glad to be going home. I’m a real home body and by the end of a trip and often with me a few weeks before the end of a trip (oh dear!) I’m ready to go...

Greetings Visionaries! Apologies for the disappearance. Mr V & I were traveling… visiting Silicon Valley & Palo Alto… and of course coming to LA. Lyptis asked how long we’re away for and we leave tomorrow night making this a 2-week WHIRLWIND tour of the states (I’m eager to get home so I can finish off Spoonful 2 and have it flying!) We’re staying in a very...

We ended our day by wandering the water’s edge at Fisherman’s Wharf and looking at the boats sail by… truly very pretty (if a little touristey and scuzzy in places…)
more soon visionaries…

Greetings Visionaries!!
We are beginning to recover - were a little exhausted for a while there - and now it’s time to share some San Francisco sites with you! We went on a little tour yesterday which took us to see Muir Woods (a GORGEOUS Redwood forest) and some other little sights just outside San Francisco for the afternoon and it was so LOVELY to see something green and smell some...
Oh, oh, and not to forget our immersive, peaceful and beautiful trip inside the New York Library. I think actually this is the one place we found peace and calm in the city… it was such a gorgeous building with roman arched high windows, marbled white staircases… and… silence! Thank goodness. Felt a desperate need to sit down and work on a novel amongst the other writers for...
… remnants… fabric remnants, New York echoes & little updates…
I’m lying on the bed in our San Francisco Hotel Room (we just arrived) finally able to connect with the internet and share the final NYC moments with you. We’re a bit exhausted to be honest. That’s one LOUD wild, busy, dirty, crazy, exciting & exhausting city they have there. Victoria (the...
Greetings Visionaries!
Dealing with a temperamental internet here, so hope this comes through… but met the super talented (and intimidatingly tall, willowy, beautiful, stylish, AND fun - it’s not fair) Victoria today… I got it wrong… as hers was the building even CLOSER to ours just on the left… small world. Although I must say when you’re in New York it...

Greetings Visionaries!! How is everyone? I’m hoping well! I’m feeling very very full of far too much NYC pizza, consumed after a way of exploring the city, but I jump too fast… let’s see… from the beginning… We left the quiet shiny & little flag post-boxes of Maryland and jumped on a bus heading straight to New York city! I can’t tell you how...
