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…

Greetings!
Just a little not on commenting. Apparently people are having problems commenting on for the visionaries - and that’s so annoying!! I’m super sorry!
I have tried to reset various functions with Disqus, my comment guys to fix this.
If you’re still having problems, Please PLEASE let me know so I can fix it. I so love hearing from you guys and find it so annoying when I can’t comment on a site! You can email me @ antheakrookdesigns@hotmail.com at any time or to let me know if you couldn’t comment :(

So! It’s been a truly crazy few weeks/months here at for the visionaries, and I can proudly say that with Spoonful at the printers - YAY!! I’m feeling hugely excited/nervous/chuffed and relieved I completed my promise of creating something based on that post all that time ago…
And as for life? And Inspiration? Well, I guess with business and this insane time of year (don’t you think the moment November hits the weeks fly by literally tripley as fast as the rest of the year?? What is that about?…) I am digging my heels into home and working, present shopping, and pursing what’s left of this phenomenal year with eager speed.
My toes on the carpet this morning are a sign of business with remnants of red nail polish appearing on little toes… MUST paint toe-nails… which leads to must get polish… which leads to must leave the house… which leads to- oh no! must work, which leads to, just gonna post on my little blog that’s been a tad neglected.So here I am. Chipped nail-polish and all…
Tomorrow can show you the COVER - YAY!!!!!! of Spoonful which has been top secret all this time. Here is a sneak peek at the prototype I printed off my humble little printer soon to be made real by the pros.
And the quote? Someone posted that on their facebook this morning and I thought it had SO MUCH importance it was vital it was put up asap!! I’m so often reminding us to follow our dreams, and trust our guts, to be brave, to get out there… and all the rest of that. And as I’m learning the hard way, none of that is worth a dime without the follow-through! I agree that no matter how beautiful, ‘your vision is only as powerful as’ that painful commitment and follow-through to making it happen! How to market a new tiny zine? One of my little challenges in my journey.
What are you guys hitting? How are you finding the follow-through and what’s your story? I would love some feedback, some info on other people’s projects and we could put them up here to remind all of us that we’re not alone…?
let me know..

So so many things to blog about today, yummy inspiring finds, beautiful snippets, updates, & quotes…
let’s start with this GORGEOUS press-printed book. As Spoonful is now at the printers - eeeeeeek! I got a little paper/press obsessed and discovered some finds. This book is a print of a poem by Elizabeth York, now I am definitely not the most religious of people however, faith is a tricky magic little thing that can help at the most surprising of moments… You know? Faith in whatever you might choose, the universe, god, luck, drive, ideas…. Elizabeth says:
There is no unbelief;
For thus by day and night unconsciously
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny.
a little thought to ponder…
Whilst pondering take a look at this film. It’s AMAZING to see what this printer did…

Sorry, Been a little quiet here, but facing that road & trying to complete the final steps before giving over the document to the printer…
EEEK!
