i flew up to sydney last week for the once upon exhibition opening. it was such a nice little holiday, i giggled with sarah mcneil, caught a ferry with the super sweet dawn tan, watched a documentary on gigantism with sophia (thankyou for lending me your floor!) and flew back to melbourne with a notebook full of ideas. there were some lovely pieces in the show, my favourites were four beautifully embroidered mask collages by laura mckellar for the ugly duckling.

artworks are now for sale on the exhibition's site, including two of mine.

a quick scribble for what i wore today.

and if you live in australia i'm offering free postage in my shop until christmas! hooray! xo

a couple of cushion designs for envelop..


a tiny peek of my work for the once upon exhibition, opening on the 19th at ambush gallery in sydney. if you're close by you should come along, i'm flying up especially for it!

new silver wallpaper and a pair of white knees.



a silly bird flew into my window and bumped his head. i'm not sure what kind he is, if i had more hours in the day i would learn their names, and flowers too..



a little book arrived on my doorstep today, the photo album by frankie. my 'sweet' photo makes a small appearance :)

i've been setting aside a little bit of book money every week for the past year, and i think it might be time to spend it!! i'm putting together a list of candidates and i wondered if you have any lovely book suggestions?

my list so far:

the opposite
pictorial webster's: visual dictionary of curiosities
3191 : a year of mornings
