  • 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…

    And I bet you thought I was going to show you a hairstyle, am I right? Sorry I’ve been so silent this week, Uni has been a lot of work and I’m starting to wonder if it’s all worth it. We have these ‘mini’ tasks we have to do each week and they are more…

    I’ve been working on a new blog design and it’s not coming together as well as my Akai theme did. I felt like it needed ‘something’ but I couldn’t define what that ‘something’ was. For reasons unknown I had an Alice in Wonderland rabbit image in my mind – weird! So of course I went…

    I’m not complaining but my poor roses are very confused this year. We have had almost no summer heat and too much rain and March (which is officially the beginning of autumn) has been warm and sunny. So my roses have started blooming for the third time since October, which is an unusual occurrence, and…

    Thanks so much to everyone who helped me choose my final 3 circle logos. I think choosing 3 was actually harder than creating 40. So these are the 3 I went with for a few reasons. I was very attached to the top one, I kind of liked the painterly circle that reminded me of…
