What's SOMETIMES better than crafting alone at home? 

Crafting in company. With pizza!!!

Isolated Yet Inspired | October

On the first of August I left Australia on a one way flight from Perth to Canada. After spending 12 months in the dry solitude of the North West Desert the last place I imagined finding myself content would be in a tiny mountain town. Of only ten thousand people. Hidden in British Columbia. 

The isolation I experienced in the desert mining town of Tom Price was confronting and dark. The opposite to this new, simple yet creative life I'm living here in Nelson.  

The music curated below is a selection of tracks from artist's that I've been listening to over the recent weeks. Not a "fresh" collection of works but a playlist for this stage in time. Inspired by leaving the island, seeking new experience and adventures & reflecting on life back home.

Lo & Behold - One Way Ticket

Lower Spectrum - Atlas (Movements 1 & 2) 

Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place

Drapht - Mexico 

Franz Ferdinand cover The Go-Betweens Was There Anything I Could Do?

ShockOne - Home

LCD Sound System - All My Friends

Frocktober 2016

Local artist & fantastic friend of mine Mary Marinangeli & I are taking part in Frocktober 2016! It's a FUN way to raise funds & awareness for Ovarian Cancer Research. Everyday in October we'll be sportin' a frock (dress) & documenting it on our pledging page.

By donating you'll be helping us raise funds for:

1. The development and implementation of an early detection program for ovarian cancer.

2. Improving the mortality rate, management and long-term survival of women with ovarian cancer.

3. Gaining fundamental understanding of the causes of ovarian cancer.

You can help us on our quest to raise $1000 by spreading the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and colleagues and encouraging others to get involved in changing the future of women’s health. Oh and thank you in advance for your generosity!

WOO HOO YOU CAN DONATE HERE
