  • 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…

    I know I talked briefly about neon colours with my zing colour post a while back and I confess I haven’t been able to shift the colour out of my head. My first reaction to the increasing prevalence of neon colours was, what again? I remember neon from the 80’s and thought we’d got it…

    in inspiration

    When I first started my blog it was a quest to find my ‘thing’, share my projects and sources of inspiration. I don’t feel I’ve strayed far from my original intent and having a blog has certainly carved a path for me. Whether I would have taken the same journey without a blog I will…
