a very scattered round up
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Its been a while between posts. Quite a while. So sorry for the trouble that would have occurred if you were holding your breath between postings!
Instead of making excuses for my loooong absence, I shall just proceed…..
Now, once again here at Designalogue blog, the subject of today’s post isn’t the most original or ground breaking subject to the blogosphere, in fact only just last week ever the fabulous Design Crisis did a post on this very topic – Scattered cluster art walls things. (yes, that IS the technical industry term used!)
But this posting is once again with purpose! The purpose being to show a lovely client of mine just how fabulous cluster walls of all different shapes and sizes can look! (and the double purpose of said lovely client then also feeling confident that its the right choice for her home!)
So, enough of my prattling and on with the eye candy:
Just a few pictures there to get the point well across!
Well thats all for now – I’m off to organize me a picnic! Fella & I are off for a loved up sunset cruise tonight on this!
So until next time peoples!
Obsession Confession: Still dreaming of that genie
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009I have written before about my love for glass genie bottles in an obsession confession (see here)
Its a continued and long loving obsession of mine, so imagine my delight when I came across some more genie bottle eye candy for me to drool over!
It was like the clouds parted I tell you!!

By the way, in my collection of many, I’m still yet to come across a genie, so no wishes have been granted.
I am quite sulky about this!
um, I got GOT again.
Monday, March 30th, 2009I’ve gone and got myself tagged again! This time the lovely Qerat infected me!
The point again to share 6 things about myself. But with all this tagging going on, IMO struggling to keep up with new things to share, a girl has gotta keep some mystery you know!
So Im instead going to share some Randomania instead:
1. I was reliving some childhood memories the other day and You tube-ing the fabulous TV show from my childhood Fraggle Rock! I came across this classic gem, which the fella and I decided should be the song to get us all motivated throughout this global recession!
Um, I am having all sorts of trouble uploading this video – so you will just have to expel that tiny bit of energy & click on the link to make it work instead! Doozers
2. My favoritest film of ALL time is the Labyrinth.
3. So, I will admit.. I have a bit of an obsession…. I cant get enough of coloured glass.
I just love it and have, um, quite a bit in my house…….
There is actually more than this, but the photos were even more crapola than these. So you will just have to believe me!
4. I cant throw away, give away or even loan out my design magazines. This does create a bit of a storage issue, but I deal. Each month I buy about 8-9 mags and I devour them and re-read many times over! (Also – happily these are a tax deduction, so that’s a happy ending!)
5. I still drink coffee daily. I never pretended I was going to give it up- just keeping you up to speed!
6. I love my iPhone and hate synthetic fabrics on upholstery.
Ah, six points = done.
I don’t want to give myself a reputation for being a girl who gives infections, so once again: dear readers and blogging friends, if you wanna, do it! If not, I wont hunt you down!!
And now back to the pretty…
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009After some serious moments I need me some more pretty to look at.

I spied this fabulousness over at Simply Grove and new it was an image I would be happy to look at over and over. Ahh.
Last year I did just a day course of basket weaving with my lovely mumma, we both came away with a small curl-less than a palm size of wool and dried grass…nothing on these gorgeousies! Makes me appreciate the workmanship in each one that much more.
Looking at it again – its either a HUGE wall, or a tiny chaise!?!
Obsession Confession: I dream of genie..
Sunday, September 21st, 2008I do love a genie bottle! I’m talking specifically about the ‘glass genie’ variety.
NOT the creepy genie pop out of and grant three wishes type of bottle!
I have collected these for a few years now, and only recently did I start a thinking about what IF a genie did pop out of one? (apart from freak out and question my sanity that is!) What would my three wishes be?
This IS quite the trixty question. Certain things must be thought about are there consequences to each wish? (aka the Hollywood movie type of genie wish)
Do I wish for selfish purposes?
Can I just end wish three with three more wishes and repeat that over and over (this one really should be discussed early on with said genie.)
Do I wish for the greater good of the people and planet?
Oooh what to do?!!!
Whilst I ponder these big issues, here are some pretty pictures with said genie bottles!…

Whoopsie! the ever devoted loyal Designalogue reader ‘fella’ has pointed out my very oops spelling mishap in this post! (which has now been corrected for those who didnt see!!!!) Turns out, ‘genie’ isn’t the same spelling as hit the ol fav T show ‘I dream of jeannie’! well, now i know!!
