Business cards are always important despite having a blog, twitter, G+, facebook et al.  Business card design and design in general is something that I have spent a lot of time learning about and experimenting on.  I set about the business card design with a very clear objective.  On the front I wanted to have […]

choosing_a_book_cover_design

I’d like to say that the last item on publishing the book was to choose between which book cover design I liked the most, but this really was no where near the last item I had to do.  More accurately it could be described as the last fun item I had to do on the […]

to_clean_the_house_or_to_go_to_bed

Principles are great, in theory, in an ideal world we would live by our principles. Reality is different and seldom will the day progress as you planned it to.  I’m finding myself going through a phase of my children going to bed at unpredictable hours and my plan to get them involved in the tidying […]

when_theres_no_cleaner

I was at a friend’s house recently, it was a beautiful impeccable house, as we left someone (not me before you ask) spilt something. No stress from the house about the mess. I remarked ‘looks like you better get the vacuum out’, he shrugged and said ‘the cleaner will take care of it’. This got […]
