A hard day's work in the digital space

OK, so it's not all hard work. Especially when the camera comes out!

Weekend at Hunter Valley

We spent a very relaxing weekend in Hunter Valley at Doug and Claudia's house. Set in the middle of the farm lands with unspoiled views, it was the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine (the weather was perfect!) and relax.

In between lazing in the sun, we visited several wineries where we gorged on cheeses and olives and tried several fair wines.

The most exciting discovery of the weekend was green chili relish - a local delicasy that, mixed with cheese (or most anything) tastes like a dream. We bought a large jar which did not last long. Will definitely be looking out for more.

Kerry's first web site

We had a client at work who needed a web site designed very cheaply. More cheaply than any of our usual 'professional web designers' were prepared to do it.

So Kerry stepped in and designed it for us. She has done a fabulous job - you would never know she is a print designer and this is her first site design. Check out www.ristorantebianca.com.au and see for yourself. It goes live in a couple of days.

Agency Fusion to Blackglass

Agency Fusion, the company I joined, has now officially been renamed 'Blackglass' after merging with another company (Ixion). We have moved to great new, light and airy offices in the middle of the city. A ten minute train journey from where we live. I have 5 new work mates, all of whom I like a lot. Alistair, Kate Best, Kate Botham, Mark and Danielle.

Large dark glasses are in! Kate (top) and Allison (bottom)

Make a quilt online (2007)

I don't often talk about my web projects on this blog but I have just launched one that I am very proud of.

It's name is Fabric Matcher and it allows you to choose fabrics in innovative ways. For example, if you have a photo of your bedroom, you can upload it and it will suggest fabrics that match your colour scheme.

Then you add your fabrics to your pattern of choice to create your virtual quilt. If you like what you have created, you can then purchase all the ingredients online and make the kit at home.

Over 3 months of hard work - hopefully it will be a big success with the quilting market.
