love this, along with lots of other goodies over at quintessential duckegg blue 'the home of found and antique objects'

looking back at first term...

So.... because i've started this blog one term in I thought I would post a little overview for the year to date!

This semester I was able to skip a few units (design colour and design sketching, as I completed them back in 2003 and 2005) My classes are tech drawing, interior solutions, furniture and soft furnishings, interior styling and 2d design.

I think I speak for many of the group when I say I felt like we were kind of thrown in at the deep end! So many of the projects were really involved and lots of us literally lost sleep getting them done!

But I am really happy with what I have to show for my first 11 weeks! I'll take photos of all my projects and post them in the coming weeks!

love this Stendig calendar...designed in 1966, but still very stylish!

hello

Hello...my name is Tanya (also known as Mum, John's daughter, James' wife, Rachel's stepmum, Josh's mum, Toby's mum and Indigo's mum!)

I am part-owner of The Candy Tree, a small business creating gorgeous childrens parties, that a friend and I started last year. For 10 years prior to that I worked as a freelance graphic designer, working with small businesses to develop brands, build websites and design logos, business stationery and marketing material.

I love my family, I love coffee and I love design... I have for as long as I can remember...especially classic, timeless design... simple and stylish...that which sits as comfortably (and is as appreciated as much) today as as it did at the time of original design...be it last year or 100 years ago.

This year my youngest started school full-time, so I have taken the opportunity to return to TAFE to continue my studies in interior design, and I have created this blog to journal my projects and all the beautiful things I discover!
