It seems like a lifetime ago but you may remember I had to frantically clean my house when I was around 6 months pregnant as I was being photographed by the lovely Louise Whelan. She was being sponso...
This weekend SNH, bub and I joined our lovely love-bird friends Robyn and Georgio on an Architecture Australia Assoc guided walk around Castle Cove, a suburb in Sydney’s north. Too admire and d...
Just a quick update to let you know there is a competition over at the Australian Infront facebook page to win one of three copies of my book {Graphic Design} Australian Style Manual. It’s very...
One sunday morning a month or so ago, I was marched out of the house for moaning about lack of time to myself (always being responsible for the baby, even if I am doing something for myself like shop...
As Archie gets older and every day develops more, he learns new things and as his personality emerges more and more I worry that I won’t remember every exact detail of what he was like as a lit...
It’s been a while since I’ve trolled through Op shops or junk markets. When SNH and I were first dating we would jump in his HG Premier (or my ’72 Triumph 2000 – both sadly no...
Thank you all for attending my pity party. And thank you all for the lovely messages, I appreciate your comments and thoughts. I am being hard on myself, I know. And it comes from being a goal setter...
I am suffering post-pregnancy body image issues. SNH is suffering through my post-pregnancy body image issues. I was completely delusional while pregnant, thinking to myself – just think by the...
Well, look who made the news – well the NorthSide local paper – me and SNH! (And Gillian, Paul, Robyn and Georgio – or should I say ’50s model Georgi-ous’) Parents sprung out ...
Bear with me as I update my wordpress design. The portfolio will be up and running again soon — let’s face it, it’ll probably be a few days as nap-time isn’t long enough to be overl...
My year so far in hipstermatic photos… 1. Blue toenails days after making SNH a piece of baby art for his birthday on NYE. 2. The coolest fellas I know. New Years day, after yum cha. 3. Flaming...
Last weekend SNH, bub and I took a trip out past Camden to attend a wedding. It was between a flower farmer — one of SNH’s fishing buddies — and a florist, a match made in delicately scented he...
When I has a starving graphic design student I would hungrily devour any design-related book I could put my grubby hands on. My Austudy was spent on books about the history of typography, logo design...
What to do about this? Archie is growing a mullet. He was born with a full head of head, sideburns and little werewolf hair ears (so sweet!). Slowly that mop thinned out and the new growth at the fro...
Happy new year! I hope you all had a pleasant end of 2011, whether celebrating Xmas with family or blithely ignoring the whole thing. SNH, bub and I had a drawn out Xmas – one day for us, one d...
At the beginning of November our little family unit set off for an adventure across the waves — well across the harbour really — to the Outpost project on Cockatoo Island. Set amongst the remnants of...
I have sat down to write this blog numerous times over the last month. I have been interrupted and called away every single time, resulting in nothing of substance or one occasion a long, boring cata...
I am officially 3 days overdue and officially over it. I had a grizzle to my midwife yesterday and she kindly informed me that the majority of first borns are +7 or +10 days overdue. Gwad help me. We...
I haven’t updated with a bump photo in a while. Actually we forgot to take a few week’s photos there, ridiculous I know. How hard is it to stand in the front hall and take a snapshot eve...
Belly moon? A few weeks ago SNH and I took a long weekend away and had our babymoon. If you’ve never heard the term it’s becoming popular for young, professional couples expecting their f...
In late June I was asked to take part in a project by photographer Louise Whelan. She was photographing rockabilly and vintage people in their homes/natural surroundings (i.e. in their workshop worki...
Working in the publishing industry as a book designer allows me to work with some of the most interesting people, on some of the most interesting projects. When I made the decision some years ago to ...
I turned 32 on Wednesday 15 June. There, I said it. I am trés old now. No longer flirting with my 30s, girlishly giggling as my late 20s were still insight like a cliqué of stylish, youthful girlfrie...
Life is really helped along when you have talented and skilled people surrounding you. SNH’s younger sister’s boyfriend (YSB) is a workplace OH&S rehab assessor — or some such. Basica...
SNH and I are collectors. I wouldn’t go so far as call us hoarders as we don’t have stock piles of newspapers or junk, nor do we compulsively ferret away items. However we both have the h...
Another week has gone by and the bump has gotten bigger. In comparison to my increasing belly, my appetite for chocolate has been decreasing over the course of my pregnancy. Which makes for a slightl...
Month two of being a freelancer and I am well and truly loving it. Being able to focus on design solutions and not get distracted by troubleshooting or reams of paperwork is an amazing feeling. My da...
In only March I wouldn’t normally expect the year to have gained such momentum. But here we are 6 days in to the third month and 2011 is one hot potato. Let me start by sharing with you my mo...
While I am on the subject of weddings, I thought I would finally put up a post about my own wedding! It has been in magazines, on wedding blogs and smattered across facebook. But I have not yet poste...
SNH and I had the pleasure of attending our good friends lovely wedding yesterday. Sue and Marc are part of our ‘vintage’ friends. People who have grown out of rockabilly but still enjoy ...
