I am so excited to start learning how to use my new watercolour waterbrush, and I figured I’d start with the alphabet, so here we are – the ABCs of business!
With every letter, I’ll talk a bit about each word and how it relates to running a successful business.
Excuse my shaky writing as I learn, but practice makes progress!

A good friend of mine is having her first baby, and I wanted to make her something very special. It took hours and hours and a bit of a learning curve, but I’m really happy with how it turned out in the end! I hope it’s something baby Juliette will love too!

Some fun bikes and some amazing typography, really stands the test of time.
Bug-eyed bike is bug-eyed.
Bikes!
We rode up the mountain to get a bird’s eye view to the city. There’s some really neat architecture with elevators built into the sides of the hills that hold the houses too.
I got the opportunity to vista Te Papa museum as well which was really neat. It has a ton of information about New Zealand and lots of interactive exhibitions too. We learned a lot about Jade, which fit well into our trip to the Jade factory/store as well.
We had a quick tour of the botanical gardens as well. It was really neat to see all the plants native to New Zealand. 
This totally brought out the type nerd in me – very cool sculpture, signs and graffiti:
Venus Florists was a flower shop on Roncesvalles that recently closed.
I really like old hand painted signs, at least now I have my own version of it.
