This is what I want to achieve… I’ll paint the insides duck egg blue (I’m getting colour swatch cards tomorrow… will share) and leave the rest white. I dont want them to just be plain boring white… I want to add a little funk. Make them look a little younger, a little fresher and a [...]

Believe it or not this was a freebie. The best damn freebie EVER. Notebook Magazine just gave me a teatowel… a teatowel. This little organiser is da bomb. I’m thinking about making my own version to sell on Etsy. I think they’d sell like hotcakes. This is what it looks like on the inside. A [...]

Welcome to my space… this is the transit zone for all my creative thoughts transfered through to varied mediums. As you can see, my new (old) $10 ebay desk is doing its job beautifully. As its so deep I can keep the little white shelves Gloria gave me on top of it and have everything [...]

I”ve moved the computer into the loungeroom. It’s now where my magazine nook used to be. I love where it is now. It feels so much more social now and doesn’t feel intrusive in the space. So this is my new perch… if I’m online, imagine me here. Gosh I love my desk… worth every [...]

“I’m cancelling my application to University” I wish I’d wanted to study for the right reasons… but I didn’t. I have a void. A big empty space. I know what can fill it but it’s just out of reach and out of my hands. I thought studying something I enjoyed and loved would fill the [...]

No seriously… have you listened to her new album? Listen to full songs here… they change the songs each day. I really like them and I’ve been bopping to them over and over again all evening. She’s obviously got some personal issues to deal with but her music is still pretty good concidering. Sure, I [...]
