Hospital Life

I lived in hospital for 5 weeks. I wasn’t confined to bed but I mostly hung out in my room, I was allowed to walk to the downstairs café each day and could go on outings if someone took me in a wheelchair. After a week I realised I was in for the long haul so I came up with a plan to embrace my new life. Follow the links below for more details.

It was actually hard to leave…… so here’s to you Ward 4. Dear Ward 4 Well this is it …..the last night. I feel weird packing my room up. I think I’m going to miss the quiet nights and the city lights. I don’t really know how to say thank you. You’ve seen me desperately …

Gift bags

Supplies from the outside

Gifts and visits. What do you really want when you’re stuck in a micro environment for months? How much do your friends really like you? I rated them, introduced requested tasks and graphed the outcome. After all the energy to collect this stuff and when I had to move out I made up gift bags to share with the other inmates.

Masterchef with a cheese knife and a hospital menu

Surviving the food for 5 weeks!  I’m vegetarian and I love cooking. It was so hard to eat hospital food all the time. After praying Jamie Oliver was going to come and save me, I got a fridge, knife and chopping board. Soon I was ordering off the menu, requesting essentials from friends and creating a revised menu. But thank god for uber eats! Here’s a sample of the delicacies offered on the hospital menu.

Interior decorating for the hospital room

You can style anything. Double J was playing 90’s music all month so hanging out in my room, decorating it and listening to 90’s music was a bizarre flashback to my teenage years. But I didn’t have my dad to help me move the furniture around. I was learning Canva and found a real estate flyer template so it was time for a photoshoot and a fake ad.

Fashion and style for hospital life

Mission was to learn new hair and make up techniques and try not to walk around in pyjamas for the rest of my life. I watched many a video, created a Pinterest board, spent an hour or two every day getting ready and taking selfies of my progress. Now I’ve been released into the outside world people are impressed how good I look. That’s what a month of intensive study does!

Let’s meet the neighbours

Too many interesting conversation with people in my neighbourhood inspired me to start a podcast with Tania.  It launched as part of the Fremantle  Heritage Festival in May.  Download now  on iTunes and SoundCloud.  Follow us on Facebook for  updates and to see photos connected to each story.

building a dome

Dome

I started exploring how to build a dome while working on friends, folly and flowers.  It finally got built a few weeks ago! All you need is a deadline right?  We needed a open mic stage for a youth event I was working on. and it conveniently all packs down to a bundle of sticks.

Bindoon Boots social media

Bindoon Boots are a ugg boot manufacturer based in Fremantle. They wanted help with their social media.  So I loaded up my car with boots and spend a few days taking pics and making a Facebook plan for them. It’s an amazing factory with only a handful of people creating them. Got a bit obsessed with the industrial sew machines.

Fashion for over 60

Fashion ideas for 60+

My Mum was traveling to Europe for the summer to attend my brothers wedding. So even though we live in different countries I started intervening about what she was going to wear as mother of the groom…… Then I got carried away and organised a whole wardrobe for her holiday. It was shipped over waiting for her when she arrived.  So I’d love to post a picture of the final outfit she wore to the wedding but  I still don’t have any official photos yet. Read the magazine of ideas I put together for her.
