Thank God It's Friday

Well, It's Friday, again! Is it just me, or are the weeks flying by way too fast? I can hardly believe it's 18 days until Christmas!

Speaking of Christmas, check out these Hidden Animal cups (and perhaps add them to your wish list?) I dug ours out of the cupboard this week for an extra special cup of coffee! The 'hidden owl' is my favourite!

I am over the moon to see that one of my favourite designers, Beci Orpin, has collaborated with Urban Outfitters to create some deliciously colourful and graphic bed linens! I have my eye on the Geo Duvet Cover and Shams - B.E.A.U-tiful!

Have you seen this film of our PM? (I'll admit I had a little chuckle ;)) I feel safer knowing that Ms Gillard is up to the job of protecting us, should the Mayan Calendar be true. Ha.

Is this not the most adorable doll you ever did see? Congrats to Gaby (and her Husband) who are expecting a lovely little lad or lady, in 2013 - joy! x

And last (but not least), this week I launched my next creative project* - Life in 3x5's.
Over the next 12 months I will be curating this 'exploration of our society' and posting the artworks created by people involved in this project. Click over and check it out - and while you're there, why don't you get involved, or even nominate someone you believe would enjoy this project!


 Hope you and yours are safe and well! Happy Friday!

Life in 3x5's : a social exploration

I am very, very excited to introduce you to my current project - Life in Life in 3x5's : a social exploration !!

Borne from a desire to connect with people - friends and strangers, alike - and share those connections with others, Life in 3x5's is a creatively-inspired, web-based, artistic expression of like-minded participants, displaying aspects of 'life' on the ever so humble, 3x5 card.

I won't spoil it all here, but click on over and check it out for yourself - including the ' the how-to's ' page, so you too can get involved!


* I'd love your feedback on the site/concept/likes and dislikes, etc. THANK YOU!

Thank God It's Friday

In a bid to be more present in my blogging I am dedicating a weekly post to Friday (and, in part, it's dear friends, Saturday and Sunday!) Part recap, part review, with a few recommendations thrown in for variety, TGIF will be an ode to the week that has been and the blessed weekend to come.
So, without further ado, I present to you...

This week has been very relaxed around these parts, perhaps too relaxed, as my body seems to think I have time to spare, 'blessing' me with a cold. Today has been spent in bed watching Modern Family reruns and eating leftover Chinese take out (it's always better the next day, don't you think?)

In this 'down time' I've been working on an upcoming project;

jumping on the Pinterest bandwagon for some Holiday decorating inspiration*;

checking out the arts scene around the country, and internationally - So, if you're in Brisbane, check out CIRCA ; a self-titled show by the Helpman Awarded, Australian contemporary circus comapany, Circa at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts ; it's closing tomorrow night (24/11/12) but this show is an extraordinary display of strength, beauty and pure talent, which I was privileged to preview during my secondment in October. I highly recommend checking them out if they're ever in your part of the word! They. are. AMAZING!
In Sydney, tonight, 10pm, a rad, up and coming band called Little Bighorn are playing at The Gladstone Feeling. They recently played at my little sisters wedding (more on that next week too!), and even have a cute, little, multicoloured xylophone in their tow!They play regularly around Sydney, so be sure to gather some friends for some sweet sounds.

We're having this for dinner, and whipping up a batch of Tahnee's favourite Christmas-inspired Chocolate Bark as a little (very) pre-Christmas/post-dinner treat!

Finally, a quick, 22nd Birthday shout-out to my dear friend, Ell! Cheers to you, lady!


Here's to a relaxed Friday night and a great weekend!
