I had a few escapes recently, which felt magical.

A trip to Caloundra Music Festival - morning swims at the beach, afternoons and evenings spent listening to music and a big catch up on LOTS of sleep.

And my birthday on Thursday - which I dedicated a whole day to self indulgence and relaxation.
I had a beautiful white chocolate and raspberry cake that I ordered from the lovely Lauren Tregenza and her business Flame Tree.



October Love:
My full moon clock - so that it will remind me I am staying up too late when it's in the early AMs


Glitter nail polish - always makes me happy (but makes me look like a 7yr old)


Possums in the tree outside my studio! Oh Hello Possums.


My new mint green Golden Ponies that I bought at The Happy Cabin


Two new snuggly fluffy fox cushions from a snuggly fella I know.


Mukti Botanicals - Chemical free, Australian made and owned, not tested on animals, certified organic skin care. BAM!


This dress: YO VINTAGE

Instagram!! My old phone died and made way for a technology catch up.
I'm obsessed with documenting, tweeting and instagramming everything I do.

2012 Resolutions

This year is a fresh new start for me, having just finished my Masters in Digital Design, it feels like I'm back to square one. Once again I'm facing the daunting task of finding a job and getting my life into order. Studying again has been a great way to excuse myself from achieving some 'normal' life necessities such as - getting a drivers licence, starting my career and doing my tax...

I still feel like I'm 14. My sister is 14 this year and I feel like she is more together and much more hip than I. Where did the 11 years go? When was I not 14 anymore?

As I sit in only my open dressing gown on a Sunday at 11am drinking tea from my surprise owl cup - I am feeling much too lazy to tackle such difficult and boring life endeavours. And I have no excuse - the fact is I care not for tax or driving or working full time! I would just like to create and live by the sea and spend my days naked and listening to soul and jazz.

My 2012 Resolutions/Plans:

1. Learn to save and manage money and business

2. Grow an edible garden

3. Learn Spanish

4. Decorate my home in ways that inspire me

5. Lead a more active outdoors lifestyle

6. Save for a holiday to Cuba

7. Learn to Screen Print

8. Develop a regular work schedule for freelance work/personal projects on my days off.

9. Actively promote my art

10. Find a creative job

Have a happy Sunday!
