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

G&T
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
Blogcademy, please
So – as you all know, I have been faithfully feeding this blogging addiction of mine for the past two years. It really nurtures my love of adventure, photography and story-telling. I’ve also met wonderful people and received some great feedback. A while ago I stumbled upon a blog called Nubby Twiglet. It features the … Continue reading
Sweet Beginnings
It’s the eve of the Jewish New Year. I can’t quite believe that another year has flown by. I’m struggling to recall where I was or what I was doing this time last year . . . I do know that we were not yet living in our new housie and that I wasn’t cooking … Continue reading
Channelling Don Draper
Ever since my move to Sydney a number of years ago, I’ve watched the annual Fifties Fair at the iconic Rose Seidler House come and go. And as soon as it was over, I’d berate myself yet again for not going. But – oh no – not this year. This year, we donned our finest 50’s apparel, … 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
Two Years On . . .
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
Insta-everything
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. The online resources, apps, websites and portals that help me create, file, share and learn. I have a library of hundreds and a handy, much-loved … Continue reading
Babylon
Allow me to step back in time here, if you will. The following images have been languishing in my “still to be edited” folder for almost 8 months. And through no fault of their own, mind you. The establishment they depict is one of my favourite Cape Winelands locations. Given the competition, that’s top marks! … Continue reading
Mixtape {The Friends I}
Once a week, every week, I hit the pause button. For one full day I surrender to creative pursuit, technology and all activity associated with “the working week” and the quotidian. There’s a moment at which the divide between daily and spiritual is stark and real. In that moment and the proceeding 25 hours, everything … Continue reading
