baby shower invites



A few weeks ago I was asked to design some baby shower invites (I guess it makes sense given the design degree). I was given free-reign which is always fun, but sort of tricky/overwhelming all at the same time...a bit like having a baby I guess!? As I am a huge fan of not using the computer, out came the watercolour pencils and scissors - the only logical explanation. I opted for something that would speak 'baby' without all the obvious bits. Not a baby bottle in sight!

I clearly have a thing for colour and circles... not sure when that happened!?

a new year, a new start





After being MIA for a while, I'm back with a vengeance in 2013. 

This year has kicked off with one fairly simple goal - keep fit and try to stick to a healthy breakfast each morning. So far so good. I have been having an egg (or two) for breakfast and a fruit smoothie. I am yet to wander into the ‘green’ territory (just thinking about drinking vegies makes me gag) but I might tackle that one head on this week. Cutting up fruit and freezing it in bags at the start of the week makes the whole process each morning a pretty speedy one.

The pool has become my new best friend (thanks to my jazzy new Speedos) and Pete my PT has been his usual godsend. If you're in the market for a personal trainer, Pete is the best in the business. You can find him over here.

So far, so good. The savings plan on the other hand...
