Yay Kristen!

I'm so belated in blogging about this but just wanted to say how proud I am of my long time textile buddy Kristen Doran for landing herself a sexy photoshoot and awesome article in the über glossy Sydney Magazine! (Syd equivalent of The Age's Melbourne mag).



It was Kristen who first inspired and encouraged me to print my designs as textiles, back in the day.

Doesn't she (and her wares) look gorgeous?? Congrats lovey!!!

Travels (and hello!)

The other day my mum asked me if I'd started a new secret blog that she doesn't know about because she hadn't seen any updates here for so long.

Nope, I've just been slack. Well, not really - I've been away on holidays, working like crazy ladies over at I&S and generally enjoying life and keeping busy :)

Anyway here's a few much belated pics from my recent trip to Malaysia and Thailand. I spent the first week with my family having a veeery cruisy holiday in Langkawi. Highlight - swim up bar. Lowlight - terrible food poisoning.


Doing the resort thing - banana lounges by the pool with my mum


View of Langkawi from the top of an amazing cable car ride


The neighbours


Deer food = instant friends

After Malaysia I went and spent a few days with my friend Karin, who's living in Bangkok for a year for work. Had heaps of fun shopping (Zara!) and seeing the sights and enjoying cocktails on rooftop bar in perfect temperatures.


One of the many small gallery spaces at Chatuchak market (we bought some awesome pieces and got to meet the artists -yay!)


Doing the tuk-tuk thing, fun

Amazing topiary/bonsai goings on at the Kings Palace (amazing buildings too, of course!)

And of course, requisite photos of purchases:

Handwoven bag from Chatuchak - loved the colours. The stallholders were making them as they waited

A couple of etchings from an artist at Chatuchak.


Jim Thompson handwoven silk/wook scarf, misc ceramics & bracelet

Heaps more photos over at my flickr, but I won't bore you with them here :)

Yay! xx
