Rat Nest



one  two

I've comes to the conclusion many times that I just don't get anything done unless I write a list. Ticking things off so you know you're actually getting somewhere.

so today, spring cleaning! and assignments, as always.

Take clothes/stuff to Salvos
Make a pear frangipane tart a la Post Punk kitchen  
Choose photographs to print + frame for my wall
Vaccuum!
Print + Laminate Recipes
Make a wallet chain for my work keys!


P.s I'm going to Rottnest Island because I'm doing a husbandry manual on the Quokka, really just excuse to go on a little adventure by myself, It's been too long (3 years?). Thank goodness flights to perth aren't as expensive as I thought they would have been! beaches, snorkling, sand dune, biking around, taking photos with my silly plastic cameras...♥

Outpost Festival, Cockatoo Island, Sydney.


was really good. There were a few artworks by Banksy hanging in the gallery in the first image, I would love his work (or a print if they exist) of "throw flowers not bombs". The installation by Kid Zoom of his child hood house, a bunch of smashed up cars and a film is really good, but most of all I'm fond of works by Shida

Resolutions


There's never a bad time to make resolutions! I've been thinking about a few things I want to do (and don't want to do!)

I want to:

  • Use less plastic - Harder than it sounds, even when you buy fresh fruit you place them in plastic bags, bulk buying beans -> comes in plastic. I was somewhat inspired by this. I have already started by purchasing some bamboo toothbrushes which are biodegradable which can be seen here
  •  Op Shopping - only buy things I will use, ignore the potential of selling it online (I find online selling a pain in the butt)
  • Re-purpose - make an effort to repurpose things such as second hand dresses, photo frames, housewares
  • Stop drinking tea - It's one of those things that is enjoyable in the moment but leaves you feeling icky, the taste in your mouth, acidity, soy milk...gross. I will however keep drinking green tea and coffee!
  • Eat Less Sugar - I eat practically no cane sugar as it is, but I do still have two sugars in my coffee, I must get that down to none!
  • Get my Conservation on - Everyone has causes they are drawn to, for some people it's starving children, for some it's cancer research, for me it's conservation of environments and animal protection. I want to hone in on a few that I can lend my time to
  • Use facebook less - something we could all do.
