Today it's my turn to share my story for @ruthpoundwhite's Everyday Difference project. When Ruth invited me to contribute and asked me to share how I’m making an everyday difference first of all I was incredibly flattered and grateful – and then my inner critic kicked in big time. Who the heck was I to think that I was actually making a difference in the world? Then some self-deprecation: but I’m just living my life and trying to do my best, nothing I do is particularly ground-breaking. And then eventually, a bit of confidence about what’s important to me, and why I keep showing up and wanting to help people. What it really boils down to is this: my innate human instinct for connection and community, an unquenchable curiosity about what makes people tick, and a desire to find solutions to problems, or at least to hold space and support others as they find their own answers. I once heard someone say that whatever it is, someone somewhere needs to hear it from your voice. And perhaps this is the real key to making an everyday difference. That your unique way of thinking, feeling, expressing yourself, will somehow resonate just perfectly for someone else. That even if there are no entirely new ideas, each of us takes our unique set of experiences and knowledge and mixes things up to create our own version - and every single one of them is of value. . I hope that I make a difference by sharing glimpses into my own life, the highs and the lows, that I ask questions that get you thinking, that I listen with understanding and empathy so that you feel supported, that I create things that are beautiful and useful in some way (that William Morris quote is another of my favourites), and that I can say "this is what I tried and worked for me, what do you think?" rather than telling you I have the expert solution to all your problems. I hope I can inspire at least one person, as I've been inspired by so many others, and that someone, somewhere, is waiting to hear what I have to say, the way that I say it. And if I can make a difference by bringing more rainbows of colour to my little corner of the world, then so much the better! #theeverydaydifference

It’s the third week straight now I’ve been caring for sick children at home, so haven’t done a lot in the way of carving. I did manage to make this set though, a donation towards our local school’s fundraiser. . . . . . #saladservers #handcarved #americanwalnut #offcuts #nowaste #sustainabledesign #moderncraft #tableware #woodcarving #beautifulanduseful #simplekitchen #spooncarving #kitchenutensils #gatheredstyle #catchthelight #woodenspoon #handcrafted #lightandshadow #facets #madeincanberra #twigtotable

Made a little stop at the @livefashionable store in Nashville! Appreciating the #beautifulanduseful and the purpose behind this company!

Two Lawson cypress eating spoons... I just love this wood for its grain, and the way it yields to the knife. It burnishes to a satin finish... a spoon to stroke! #spoonclub #shescleverwithherhands #aspoonadaykeepsthedoctoraway #womenwhomake #lostinmaking #aspoonfullofmedicine #beautifulanduseful

Bags packed (I couldn’t resist a picture of the corner of my room mid packing! I love my curtains & Gardeners dress together!) & I’m on the train ready for my trip to @wmorrisandco tomorrow. What an indulgence a train ride is, I’m treating myself to uninterrupted time reading everything about May Morris- William Morris’s daughter, an amazing woman who’s work has inspired the new Melsetter collection we’re going to be shown tomorrow. So relaxing. . #loutonkin #printmaker #gardenersdress #birdandwildrose #bird #wildrose #rose #roses #natureinspired #printmaking #linocut #repeatpattern #morrisandco #wmorrisandco #maymorris #beautifulanduseful
