I’ve been wanting to attend a crafting workshop at Sydney’s The School for a little while but although they offer an amaaaaazing portfolio of classes, nothing had really tickled my fancy – – – until . . . I spied this – Macramé 101 with the “Queen of Crafting” Tamara Maynes. Tamara’s art direction and meticulous maker … Continue reading
It was one of those lucky discoveries. I was reading through a design blog a number of months ago and was instantly drawn to a feature on Jacqui Fink of Little Dandelion. As I read further, a number of key details emerged that led me to a little investigation of my own. Somewhat serendipitously, … Continue reading
My husband mixes a mean G&T. People in the neighbourhood are starting to talk about it. And we’ve had to start stocking up on more gin than ever before. I’ve watched him make them countless times, but my attempts never seems to garner the same kind of oohs and aahs from the crowd. Is the … Continue reading

As I downloaded yet another useful photography tool onto my iPhone, I stopped to think about all the amazing resources I use on a daily basis. All the websites, apps and portals that help me create, file, share and learn. It’s honestly mind boggling to contemplate the sheer number of inspirational, credible and FREE online … Continue reading
While you were getting on with the mundane activities associated with everyday life, How I See It turned the ripe old age of 2. That’s old in blogging terms right? In any event, it’s been a labour of love. But love it is – so I decided to celebrate with a little video vignette*. If … Continue reading
As I downloaded yet another useful app yesterday, I stopped to cogitate (yes, I had to use that word) on all the amazing digital resources that I interact with on a daily basis.
