Happy long weekend


Hi there, just a quick hello to say that I am still around. Just been very busy with job hunting and a couple of freelance projects. Mat and I went to the Vivid Sydney Festival last night, it was so amazing. The festival finishes on Monday so you better go if you haven't already.

On a side note, I have finally made a portfolio site. It took me literally under 24 hours to design and code, talk about speed coding. There are still a couple of things which I'd like to improve on, but I am pretty happy with it overall. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

What have you got planned for the long weekend? Do let me know.

Belated weekend post


Sorry for this belated post. I've been extremely busy the past week, didn't really have time to do any illustrations other than freelance work. Thought I'll do a photo diary instead to change the pace up a bit. So this weekend, I made a batch of custard biscuits. They were super delicious and pretty much made their way into our tummies within a day. It tasted a lot like melting moments, I was expecting more of a custard hit, but hey, who's complaining. You can get the recipe here.


Bought a wicker basket from a secondhand shop to house all my craft projects, however Miso took full ownership of it the moment I placed it down on the floor. I think I'll need to get another one specifically for him this weekend.


Here is another house item that Miso has taken ownership of. Our house seems to be filled with Miso's hair at the moment. I don't mind it much, I wonder whether he has any concern with his hair loss.


Mat made some scrumptious pizza for dinner, he experimented with a cracked egg on the pizza. It didn't cook as well as we imagined, but definitely worth a try again next time.


Started a new crochet project. I want to turn it into a table runner for our coffee table/antique wooden chest. Not sure how long it will take me since it is not even a tenth of the desire length so far. Might have to take it with me to the next Brown Owls meeting.


Took a walk to Newtown and found some super adorable paste up. I love this little chubby girl. I think we all feel like her every once in a while.


How clever is this! A cross stitch paste up! I bet it took forever to make. I'm all for crafty paste ups around the city.


Bought a mangosteen from the supermarket. I have never ever had one before. The supermarket lady assured me that it would be super delightful. Going to "unveil" it after dinner tonight. I can't wait.

Hope you guys are having a good week so far. Hopefully I'll find some time soon to post up an illustration. I have got a few project ideas developing in my head, can't wait to show you all at a later date.

Rainy long weekend


What are you doing this long weekend? Lots of indoor activities I'd say. So far I've been crocheting a much needed scarf, doing lots of illustrations and getting into more fun and adventure with gouache. Also I've made my first batch of passionfruit curd and of course drank lots of milky tea. Now, I'm getting ready to venture into the city for some computer shopping. I've had this laptop for close to 7 years now, can you believe it? I think it's time to send this old pal to retirement and make acquaintance with a newer model. 

Happy long weekend, well what's left of it anyway.
