  • About MeHi, I’m Libby, thanks for stopping by. In a nutshell I’m wife to a very supportive husband aka the cyclist. I’m mum to  2 energetic boys, the jolly monkey (8) and the little one (6). I’m a part-time graphic design/business student, art school graduate, web nerd and self professed coffee snob. I reside in Australia’s capital having moved here from Atlanta Georgia and I still get nostalgic for southern USA life – I don’t think the cyclist feels the same. My blog started in 2007 after falling victim to a swooping bird. Mostly I document what inspires me which will usually have something to do with colour, design, fabric or handmade. Sometimes I pull out my soapbox for a rant – but not very often. My blog name is an homage to the inexact science of weather prediction, for which I have a strange fascination. I have a job that takes up 3 days of my week and in my ‘free’ time between hanging out with my little men and studying I also develop Wordpress sites for small businesses. Here’s a sample of my work: Signing Stars Heavenly Home Services Creatively Belle Handmade Jewellery Lifestyle Fitness Training Excel Australia Totom…

    The promise of spring is apparent today with the vast amount of daffodils blooming. From the little girl holding just two as part of her book club costume this morning at school, to the huge bunch in the plastic bucket at the markets and even my lone bloom in the courtyard that I have no…

    I had forgotten how much I love making palettes and patterns. This is my first one in a while that started with that great photo titled bring me your colours that I might be with them by I, Timmy over at Flickr. I worked to get 5 colours that seemed to belong together and when…

    My next task at Uni is to create a ‘zine’. If you’re not sure what that is then you are not alone and up until about 2 weeks ago I had no clue either. So now I’m a little more informed I can with authority say that essentially it’s a self published magazine with an…
