+ A cheeky grin.


+ This is my husband's very unruly, messy beard (he won't let me prune it!).


+ Sarah and Patrick taking in a view of the city.


+ My sister is a bit obsessed with art books. I'm looking forward to staying with her and perusing her collection.


+ Looking sly.


+ A cute bike I saw outside the opshop decorated with washi tape and pom poms.

Evidence of spring!


+ Posing with a giant red coil outside the Queen Victoria Art Gallery & Museum at Inveresk.


+ We waited for lunch at Garden of Vegan on two different days but the tables were full and there was a big line of people, so on the day before Sarah and Patrick flew home, we showed up just after they opened at 11am for lunch and it didn't disappoint. Honestly, if you're ever in Launceston, this is worth waiting around for!


+ This week's nails.


+ Fake flowers on windowsills.


Theo and I having lunch at the Cataract Gorge.

Lovebirds!

My sister and her boyfriend Patrick just spent a week with us in Tassie and sending them home made me feel pretty sad. I guess it has occurred to me that because we live so far away and have no plans on moving back to our hometown, our face-to-face meetings with family are always going to be in week-long live-in spurts, once or twice a year, and we don't get that kind of natural relationship that you get when you live nearby to family. I'm really grateful that my family make the effort to come down and visit and we are getting to spend two weeks in Newcastle at the end of the month with family. I just really wish I could see my family more often. I love living in Tasmania and despite my best efforts, can't seem to convince them to move here! It was lovely showing Patrick Tasmania and seeing it through new eyes again. I think it's easy to become desensitised to the beauty in things you see every day.

A work colleague of C's was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has started treatment. I really wanted to make her a card because she is such a lovely, bubbly person and it makes me feel so sad to think of her unwell. If you'd like to use this card, feel free! It prints landscape on A4 sized paper. Download here.




+ As always, you can see lots of other free printables I've made here.
* For non-commercial, personal use only.

Printic offered me 8 free prints to use in their sweet little app and I thought I'd share the photos I chose. I picked a handful of photos from my Instagram account (you can also use Facebook or just your camera roll) and they printed them in lovely Polaroid-like prints. I'd definitely use the app again if I want to get a couple of special prints made - each print costs 99 cents including postage, so I possibly wouldn't get a whole lot of prints made, but it's one of the best iPhone photo printing apps, super user friendly and beautifully designed. If you'd like to try it, you can get 1 free print using this code: GNLSPRINTIC.

+ A cool old truck that we pass every time we drive to Hobart, in a little town called Bagdad.


+ Fancy fingernails (I'm a bit obsessed and make a new design each week).


+ Having a little sit in the sun in the park.


+ My sister Sarah and her boyfriend are staying with us for a few days from NSW. Most of the traffic light switch boxes in Launceston are painted on by artists (I wish I could do one!).


+ Yawning Mesca.


+ Scenery zooming by on our trip to Hobart.
