Well I made it! After a gem-factory filled morning, I headed straight to the printers to collect my babies of heavy boxes of… Spoonful issue 4! YAY!!! After carting the heavy things in and out of the car, they are finally here, in my little office, waiting for little homes all over the world to house them & keep them warm! Of course, the moment I was able to photograph them, the...

It’s been raining on & off in Sydney over the weekend, but we have been rewarded with some unbelievably beautiful rainbows… as Mr Visionary said - the world is so much better with rainbows in it ;) And a double one, now that’s something to behold… The double rainbow seemed to set a theme for me, as since then things have come in doubles… two colours to choose...

So I’ve been drawing, designing & fiddling with packaging design all afternoon for the gem drawing pins/thumb-tacks… what do you think? I can’t decide whether to group them in 3’s or 5’s or both… hmmmmmm… Also, may I just say how visionary fresh figs are…? My lovely mom bought these, & they are literally lighting up our living room at the...

Perspective...
poster by James White, Donate to Japan HERE… I feel so much has been said on the issue, but somehow not saying anything is completely wrong as I ADORE Japan, and everything Japanese, and of course our thoughts and care and support and love is definitely here to be given!!! I got all angry at Earth for creating such havoc… WHY JAPAN? WHY NEW ZEALAND, such peaceful friendly places...

Greetings lovelies!! I am wrestling (it is a good word for the middle of the design process) with issue 4 of Spoonful, and hopefully all will be well :) But I just have to confess that right now - despite myself and despite loving what I do - I am sorely tempted to be whisked away by some magical travel machine to spend the day at the marvelous Bank Hall… Discovered completely by accident...

by magsHendey Okay okay! So I might have baked and consumed terrifying amounts of lemon slice today (Shortbread crust, condensed milk & fresh lemon topping) so fine, my bum is bigger and it took time away from stressy spoonful… but there is something about baking… something that was required to calm me a little… or maybe it was the sugar coma I was after… hehe either...
