Over the holidays I always find myself walking along beautiful beaches that get my thoughts rolling along, seeking new paths, exploring tucked away ideas. I love this experience, it’s one of the healthiest things I can do. I got to thinking on unicorns and what they mean colloquially now days, especially for those of us […]
As an artisan who makes her living from what she makes and sells I’ve had quite a few lessons about pricing. I sell my work at The Rocks Markets and a select number of fairs each year. Being based in Sydney I have a fairly competitive selling space and this has never really bothered me, […]
The Secrets of Success are usually the most obvious ones that are commonly overlooked and can come from the most unusual sources. Here’s an example of an important lesson when learning the secrets of success. I was watching Love’s Harvest last night about an organic raspberry farmed who took 4 seasons, four years to get […]
Something my arts and crafts has given me is a love for Colour – all sorts of colors. So as a birthday present I was given the Victoria Finlay book “Colour” and I’m loving it. I’m only into the first 20 pages and there’s already stories about how the putting of paint into tubes was […]

I sit there struggling and I’ve learned to just go with the flow and leave the creative exercise aside. Instead I work on the regular designs that need updating and some attention of […]

Some industry groups or associations have organised discounts for members on such things are merchant services so you pay less for merchant fees for accepting credit cards. Other benefits […]
Hey there, On Sunday morning over breakfast with the family I found myself feeling deeply contented and self-satisfied all because I was enjoying the luxury of being right. I was in the midst of the Living Arts and Crafts Expo at Ulladulla, a 3 day indoor event. It was raining and miserable outside and I […]
Hey there, Something I’m learning about people and earrings is that there are generally two camps; people who love stud earrings and people who love dangle earrings, drop earrings. There seems only to be a small number of people who are completely happy to wear both. I have a few pairs of stud earrings but […]
