making the jump

Posted on June 23rd, 2010 by Tracey

after months of indecisions, i’m finally getting into gear! i’ve wanted to redesign The Australian Baby Blog a little bit – clean up the code, make things more simple, move it to a proper domain name and also redesign the logo. after MANY ‘final’ versions of the logo, including a great design by Inkd, i’m happy with the origami heart logo i designed myself

my brief was to make it unique, simple but cool colours. i wanted it to convey happiness and love – which is why i started the blog in the first place : my love of products that make life easier and prettier!

what do you think of the new logo?

i’m working on getting the new template converted to WordPress as we speak and hopefully the new blog will go live by the end of the month! hooray for progress!!

prefab, fab

look at what arrived yesterday – prefab green by Michelle Kaufman!

i’ve drooled over their website for years, so as part of my birthday Amazon gift card, i treated myself to the book.

Jovie and I flicked through it last night, and it’s pretty thorough and contains alot of info and pictures – i can’t wait to sit down and read through it properly. i love the thought of pre-fabricated homes – i’ve never seen one in Sydney but i hope the industry develops as far as it has over in the States and Europe.

I was just saying to Regan that if we had a spare truck of cash, after paying off our mortgage, I’d want to build a great green, prefab house and really do it and the environment justice, so this book is major eye candy and food for thought!
