My SXSW: 2012
Not SXSW No, no, no– I wasn’t being aloof, or contrary. I was the dark half of the moon. People in the throes of SXSW need a Not SXSW. Our house was Not SXSW. People landed on our porch at different times for cups of tea and clean toilets before heading off for more furore. [...]

1.2.3. 1. More Micron pen wandering 2. Thanks to this little on-line how-to, I learned how to fold paper boats. 3. Paper boat made its way into a whole little adventure. Available in my Etsy store.

I just did my first guest post for my friend’s blog, Mama Storms. Very exciting for me seeing as it happens to be at the very top of my blog pops. I love the way Shayla writes, she’s one of those people who can cut to the quick in one sentence. And she’s very funny. [...]

I began this week paper cutting illustrated cities and book meadows. The arrival of some new Micron pens caused me to wander into line drawings (I like them much better than my Copic set which were very disappointing). I got lost in them (think teenage boy playing Tetris). Making hay whilst the line-drawing desire was [...]
My SXSW: 2011
2011: What SXSW? New things. Caffe Medici opened its downtown store, we were newly pregnant and newly car-ed. I ran my first little pop-up Etsy fair at Medici’s Guadalupe store. It was good fun but a little quiet. Everyone else was at SXSW.
My SXSW: 2010
2010: Breezy We invited Athlete to come and play our favourite coffee shop in return for spaghetti bolognese, proper British tea and showers. Seth and Bang played the porch one afternoon. We surfed the wave of people downtown. Good times with good people, this was possibly our favourite South-by.
My SXSW: 2009
2009: the porch We took it eeasy. We chewed the cud with Mr. Matt Aqualung on our porch and I tried not to stare too much at his luminous limpid lunar skin. Mark played a South by Southwest set beset by technical difficulties but it was beautiful anyway. Matt Aqualung was also plagued by wires [...]
My SXSW: 2008
2008: Forget Everything but the Circus The year we tumbled and trapezed our way through SXSW. They came from near, they came from far. One came with half a beard; the left half. We talked art and made it. Happenings-a-happening and people sleeping in every nook, cranny and loft of the house (and wasn’t there [...]
My SXSW: 2007
2007: Expats Away! Our British musician friends came to play a show and we scooted them around town like pros in the know. Austin had become home. The sun shone, the storms shocked us all (not so seasoned after all), we tried to work out how to deal with a roach (most of us cowered [...]
