Portraits that portray the beauty in everyday...
Greetings Visionaries!
I’ve had a lovely half hour browsing the photographic collection of Bud Green, stumbled upon by mistake when looking for a design image (which I still can’t find! Grrr)
Anyhow… I think he so simply and beautifully expresses these moments that take you back to a place of nostalgia… do they have the same effect on you?
I’m all about...
One of my favourite parts of a Sydney Winter is the sun.
Despite the chill, and particularly in the afternoons, there is a beautiful flooding of light through the crispness of the air which somehow makes this beautiful city even more beautiful - as if that were possible!
Through the clarity of seeing it clearly… you feel lucky winter is here… I took some pictures yesterday so...
On a friday afternoon my mom & I (along with whoever else wants to come too!) often go for a walk. It’s just a beautiful part of the week. To go outside, breathe in the fresh trees, water, sun, and air, and feel your heart race a little faster…
This week we wandered down to our favourite little flower shop and bookstore and naughtily bought some beautiful things… (thanks...
I’m so looking forward to a bit of this… Waking & Making…
I wish I could have whole days like this… or even one special one. In fact, we should make an official day really… Wake N Make happening on Tuesday in 3 weeks time!! Far away enough to dream and plan, but close enough to happen… more wakin and makin coming right up… (I’ve put a ...

Frustrated as not enough work done today, but some… which is better than none. Lately due to all sorts of classes and meetings, my thursdays and fridays are a bit of a write-off, so there’s not really time for my creative work - of which I have a pile at the moment!
Wanted to finish a web design job today, but just didn’t get...
Greetings Visionaries!
Happy Monday! Today I’m all excited because a teeny and gorgeous little package arrived in my post box!
Through Spoonful & ‘for the visionaries’ I have met so many truly lovely LOVELY people. That’s what I’m so loving about the net, the chance to connect (hehe sorry to sound lame) with people whom I would never otherwise have met if not...
Greetings, Happy Friday & Shabbat Shalom Visionaries!
A few little smiles to take us into the weekend, I couldn’t help grinning when I saw this ‘Tiny Smiles’ series by Rachael Herbert,
so maybe you will too…

Bill Chant, the fabulous photographer (& friend, I say proudly) was braver than myself and stepped out into the freezing cold of hillside evening to take some shots… one of them this dreamy and beautiful treetop… mmm… Don’t you wish you were an evening tree and all you had to do was just stare up at the stars…? *sigh

So this morning I had the complete pleasure of meeting up with the lovely Francesca of MaybeNextWeek. We met originally at the zine fair & had agreed to meet for coffee on a later date, & today was the day. Sitting in the clear winter’s sun and chit-chatting over tea (I think to be honest, I chit chatted a bit too much) was a gorgeous distraction from all...
We just had a long weekend here in Australia due to the fact that the Queen (British) had a birthday. Yay Queen! We love that you give us a holiday. Happy Birthday!!
As a result many exciting little things happened over the weekend. Last night a friend and I went to see VIVID Sydney, the winter festival here, all about lights, music & ideas. It was great to see everyone out in their...
Trying to get a whole batch of boring tasks and design done… so listening to books from the library! Bought these lovelies yesterday along with some butternut & pepper for dinner and they look so cute in their old chutney bottle, don’t you think? I’ve been resisting buying flowers for a while now, but the house was clean and these were just over $5 so I figured I’d...

The time has come to announce my news from New York. Well, to be perfectly honest I guess it’s not actually MY news, however, it’s still a great announcement!
The lovely Victoria of Bumblebeans Inc (you remember her… we caught up when I was in in New York) has taken her little Square project to the next level and with a...
WatchOh… there’s everything about this that’s beautiful… I can smell the air… touch the grasses, sing gently under my breath with the music… stop motion film by liekeroomijs, you took me elsewhere just for a moment…

“It’s Raining Sunshine” After my anti-getting out of bed rain-cloud image the other day, I feel it’s only right to counter-act it with this ‘Raining Sunshine’ Cloud by Camilla Engman. Paper Creatures I’ve had such fun exploring her little world today. If you’re in need of a pleasant quirky and happy break, go and have a wander too…
You...
