Awhile back I posted some behind the scenes of a music video that we worked on for Perth Band, Blac Blocs.

Tonight is the launch of the animated video!

We’ve counted, and this stop-motion animation is made with 10,100 still images! That’s alot of images to put together to create this visual feast! I really hope to see you there tonight!

Mailing out orders today.

Was out buying supplies…and look what I found. Every desk needs post-its right? This apple one is too cute to resist.

Hello Tristan,

Welcome to our big world! You look so much like your father and funnily enough you sleep just like me. I think your Bobishi booties fit you well. I can’t wait to hold you in my arms and teach you how to draw cute animals! I think we will have lots of fun together.

Love always,
Your aunty Helena

We found a discarded chair, that nobody wanted. It just needed a bit of scrubbing and some prettying up.

I love these print covers, I like to buy prints that makes me happy. These cute designs are from Mint Design and Thirty Five Flowers.

My husband thinks pillow covers are trivial things but when he spots a new cover in our house, he smiles. He says it’s my style and he likes it. So I think I am slowly convincing him that cute covers are a good thing.

I may give this chair a coat of paint. I’ll grab a small can from Bunnings. Pink or blue?

Last night, Rich surprised me with tickets to Yo La Tengo. Yo La Tengo is one of my favourite bands ever, along with Wilco and Mogwai.

When Rich and I first started dating, he made me a mix cd and one of the tracks was a Yo La Tengo song. It was called Little Eyes. He said the song reminded him of me. You can listen to it here, I think the title says it all.

Over the years, we’ve listened to this band together, danced along to it and even played Yo La Tengo at our wedding. Last night was a sweet reminder of the good times we’ve shared while listening to their music. This is me with the vocalist, Ira Kaplan. Good stuff.

And then my brother-in-law, Aaron arrived for dinner!
For starters, we tossed Yee Sang.

Yee Sang is like a cold salad dish. The dish is surrounded by colourful shredded vegetables like ginger, papaya, turnip, carrots plum sauce, sesame seed and five spice powder. We usually have this dish during the Lunar new year. Everybody will gather around the table and we will all toss and mix the dish together with our chopsticks. While tossing, we’d wish good things for everyone, in hope that all our wishes will come true:)

Our main meal for the night was steamboat. We got this steamboat from my parents as one of our wedding gifts. It’s like a hot pot, and we put the pot filled with soup stock in the middle of the table and add in meat slices and vegetables. If you come and visit me, I’d most likely cook steamboat because I love the idea of sharing a meal from one big pot.

Niina came over yesterday for New Years and we did some fun things together!

Like doodling…

And making softies from our doodles!
I think the sausage dog is so cute! I’m in love!

Happy Valentine’s Day! And Happy Lunar New Year!

It’s the year of the tiger so here’s a Tiger Mo drawn specially for this festive occassion! You can save this picture and send it to all your friends to wish them a Happy Tiger Year!

You can also say “Gong Xi Fa Cai” which means wishing you prosperity in the coming year!

So happy to receive a copy of Going Places in my mail!

Here is Little Mo on the MAS Airlines Inflight Magazine! A few days ago an ex-colleague messaged me and told me he had seen the article when he was on board the MAS flight. And I hadn’t had a clue then that the article had been published. I was just as surprised as him. You can read the article here.
