Pinterest: ShiShares →
I’ve been busy on Pinterest, posting images to my boards from various websites and blogs. I like it because I can do it directly from the websites I’m visiting, rather than having to cut and paste or download images into tumblr. Having the option to post it onto Facebook is also good. Makes my life a lot easier and I can categorise the pins.
I’m inspired by all the work and...

I’ve also just come across a business card printing firm that I might try out when I’ve thought of and designed my ID. MOO are business card print specialists, and also print Postcards, MiniCards, labels, Greeting cards and more! Their patented printing technology ‘printfinity’ allows you to place a different image on each card in a pack!

Freelancing
I’m currently researching aspects of freelance graphic design as I really miss doing creative work! It’s been a few years but with every desk job I’ve had in the meantime, I wondered how much more I would enjoy expressing my creativity through a graphic outlet. So here I am! :) And I guess this blog is a way of sharing my thoughts, experiences and inspirations with you and I also...

The iPhone 5 might not be arriving any time soon, but that hasn’t stopped artists and design firms from creating their own mock-ups. After analysing the various iPhone 5 rumors, Italian designer Federico Ciccarese came up with these renders.

Shrove Tuesday / Pancake Day
I ended up making this Apple Cinnamon pancake from the Waitrose website. It was very delicious indeed. Even better, we alternated between this and banana nutella creations. Should definitely do this more often. Tempted to get a blueberry bush planted in the garden for many Sunday mornings to come - with blueberry pancakes. YUM YUM

I just love their flower arrangements! →
Saipua is a flower boutique based in Brooklyn, NY. I stumbled across their blog a few years ago and fell in love with their unique arrangements. On their blog, they share their many floral inspirations. They also run classes but unfortunately not yet in the UK. Fingers crossed!

Nash Money →
Thought I’d do a bit of promo work for a mate of mine whose birthday it is today.
Nash does some awesome things with trainers - chops them up, paints them, sews them back together - the opportunities are endless and Nash is here to make something of it. Check out his website if you get a chance and be inspired.
Happy Birthday! xx

Free advertising for Apple
bywordofmouse:
When you buy an Apple product you receive two Apple logo stickers. It seems to have become quite common for consumers to then put this sticker on their vehicle. Would you post an Apple sticker on your car? You’d have to feel pretty passionate about a brand to do this, I think!
EDIT: I should add that to be fair, I also searched for Microsoft stickers on...

Saipua - Flowers and soaps shop in Brooklyn, NY →
If Saipua were near me, I would spend my weekly wages on decorating my house with their flowers! They make flower arranging look so effortless - with so much class, elegance and sensibility. What talent.
I loved my wedding flowers, but can’t help but wonder what they would’ve done.

This blog is quickly turning into a compilation of all the things - thoughts, websites, blogs, etc. - that I’ve collected over the years and book-marked. After the initial spurt of sharing, I’m sure I’ll calm down a bit and share things as and when I find them. Also comes to show how much time I truly spend on the internet…. slightly frightening. Papa has created a clone!...

Contemporary art online gallery. I was looking for my past mentor’s work to purchase on there but regretfully, it seems she’s sold out!! Shame because I would’ve loved to get one of the Rainforest prints which I helped on.
