You may be over Facebook. Twitter is just 140 characters, and Pinterest is a bit of a solitary pursuit. But are you on Instagram? This social media platform is tailor-made for those of
us who are more visual by nature - it's about communicating with images instead of just words. Instagram is full of
interesting, creative people sharing happy things. Interested to hear more, or
in sharing your thoughts? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perfect! <a href="http://blog.stephbond.com/" target="_blank">Steph</a> of <a href="http://blog.stephbond.com/" target="_blank">Bondville</a> and I have organised an Instagram-themed Sydney abcd meet-up! We'll be meeting for a leisurely vintage inspired afternoon tea on Saturday 3rd November from 3 - 5pm in Lilyfield's Callan Park. Bring along something
sweet to share; tea and coffee will be available to purchase from
<a href="http://sweetjanes.com.au/">Sweet Jane's Travelling Teahouse</a> (a gorgeous vintage caravan. Fun!) And, we'll be joined by the Sydney Instagram Meet-up folks led by Jaclyn of <a href="http://www.littlepapertrees.com/" target="_blank">Little Paper Trees</a> and Jayde of <a href="http://littlepaperlane.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Little Paper Lane</a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There'll be lots of interesting new people to meet from
the Sydney Instagram group, and for those who are interested, we'll dedicate
about 40 minutes to small-group discussions. The aim is to share ideas and
learn more about Instagram and how to use it as a personal and professional
tool. Each group will be led by one of our friends from the Sydney Instagram
group who'll share their insights and expertise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are you in? RSVP in the comments section of this post to join us. We're not doing goodie bags this time, instead we'd appreciate you bringing a
plate of something homemade to share for afternoon tea.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We would also love for you to provide us with some feedback on Sydney abcd meet-ups in <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2T7F8W9" target="_blank">our online survey</a>. If you weren't able to fill the survey out at our last
meet-up, <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2T7F8W9" target="_blank">please click here</a> to share your thoughts on how we can make abcd work best for you.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://blog.stephbond.com/" target="_blank">Steph</a> and I have had fun organising this one and we hope to see you there - it's going to be a lovely afternoon.<o:p></o:p></div>

As well as revamping my blog I am going to begin to work with advertisers and sponsors, starting with the festive season. This will be in the form of banner advertising in the sidebar as well as sponsored posts and gift guides. During the festive season my gift guides and posts will be full of inspiration and shopping resources.<br />
<br />
If you think your product is in line with my aesthetic and content here on <i>the red thread</i> please <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/p/contact.html" target="_blank">email me</a> for rates and more details. Sponsored posts: I only ever blog about things that I love and that I think will be a great fit for my readers, and with full disclosure. This is an example of <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/my-home-loving-freedom.html" target="_blank">a recent sponsored post</a>.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in working with me to feature your brand in a creative way please <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/p/contact.html" target="_blank">get in touch</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>Dear Readers,</i><br />
<i>Please don't worry! My blog is not going to turn into one big paid ad site. I have worked hard over the past 4 years to establish my voice and integrity here and that's something that I'm not going to lose. My aim is to spend more time here bringing you more of what you've come to love and expect and what I enjoy: inspiration and finds in design, craft and interiors. To do that I need to be able to make some sort of income for my efforts. I'm sure you get that :) </i><br />

The blog redesign is complete and the coding is being done. Now I'm working on some great new content including lots of craft tutorials and some free printables. I'm so excited - it's going to be fun. I'll see you soon. Have a great week.<br />

I'm hooked on weaving now. It was such a lovely and relaxing way to spend Saturday afternoon. Weaving is time consuming but so satisfying. I'm now experimenting with different materials and techniques and will put together a little 'how to' in the coming weeks. Weaving and macrame - my two new obsessions. Watch this space!<br />
<br />
Are you enjoying any new-to-you crafts at the moment?<br />

So I've been thinking a lot about how people share and give credit for things they find on the internet.<br />
<br />
Have you seen this?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGORWE1TkYWHbZcjOw_LMGW-cP6QhzP7hggabTB-nWw5FazWe3FWy4TZS1T_xNqM0Pm0ej23M9exyZYDwv3YxAp6ZGxtJJcHTtSPyvuqyGPWoNDWDrHh4P9SW57-LvbgP8oIeQo9CR_vv/s1600/DearPinterest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGORWE1TkYWHbZcjOw_LMGW-cP6QhzP7hggabTB-nWw5FazWe3FWy4TZS1T_xNqM0Pm0ej23M9exyZYDwv3YxAp6ZGxtJJcHTtSPyvuqyGPWoNDWDrHh4P9SW57-LvbgP8oIeQo9CR_vv/s1600/DearPinterest.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
There was a lot of discussion about <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and intellectual property and crediting around the blogs earlier this year. The image above is from <a href="http://linkwithlove.typepad.com/linkwithlove/" target="_blank">LINKwithlove</a>, and it's part of the <a href="http://linkwithlove.typepad.com/linkwithlove/2012/02/dear-pinterest.html" target="_blank">Pinterest Project</a>. <i>"A kind social media
experiment to reach as many Pinterest users as possible (and Pinterest)
to raise awareness about the importance of LINKING to the original
source + respecting intellectual property online."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<a href="http://linkwithlove.typepad.com/linkwithlove/" target="_blank">LINKwithlove</a> is all about creating awareness and being mindful and respectful when we share on the internet - on our blogs as well as on Pinterest or any form of social media. The original source always deserves a credit. It's not enough to credit an image on a blog as "found on Pinterest", or the with the word "via" or "neon clutch" or something similar as the link. It's just as easy and far more respectful and kind for the link to be the name of the artist/ etsy seller / shop, etc.<br />
<br />
I recently admired a ring on a blog. The link was "found here". I clicked through to another blog to find a link with the word "via". I clicked again. And again. I went through seven different blogs (I'm not exaggerating) and gave up in the end when the link was to the home page of a another blog and not to the actual post. It wasn't the blog of the person who created the ring. None of the links were to the original source and none of the bloggers named the designer/maker/seller. I don't know where that blog trail ended, but I do know that it didn't end in a sale. It was frustrating for me, but more than that - incredibly unfair and frustrating for the person selling the ring. Have you experienced something similar to this?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://linkwithlove.typepad.com/linkwithlove/" target="_blank">LINKwithlove</a> talks about sharing in a way that is ethical, respectful, educated and kind. It's not hard.<br />
<br />

Grab a <a href="http://linkwithlove.typepad.com/linkwithlove/" target="_blank">LINKwithlove</a> button for your blog and show your support and spread the word.<br />
<br />
Further reading: a great <a href="http://lovelife.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/02/when-to-pull-the-pin.html" target="_blank">article on Pinterest from LoveLife</a> blog, and one titled "<a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/2012/02/pinterest-changing-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-57770" target="_blank">Pinterest is changing how I blog" from Living Locurto</a>.<br />
<br />
There has also been a lot of discussion about <a href="https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pinterest+and+copyright&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a" target="_blank">Pinterest and copyright</a> implications for users and creatives... that's a whole other minefield!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I'm currently not on Pinterest - I keep changing my mind about it. It's like finding someone you're really attracted to but you just can't commit to starting a relationship because of niggling doubts!<br />
<br />
<i>Edit: I forgot to mention I recently discovered that you can use <a href="http://www.tineye.com/" target="_blank">TinEye</a> to do a reverse search to try to find the source of an image.</i><br />

<i>Edit (again): I just came across <a href="http://asubtlerevelry.com/how-to-find-the-original-source-for-every-image#more-31981" target="_blank">a post on A Subtle Revelry</a> with detailed steps on another way to find the original source of an image.</i><br />

Yesterday we decided to spend a quiet afternoon crafting after spending the morning with friends which involved lots of antics in the pool for the kids. To get the craft things we wanted we had to brave the garage which is piled high with boxes that still need to be unpacked since our move 6 months ago. The boxes mostly contain all those things that you're not sure where to put or if you really want them at all. You know those ones? The last to be packed and the last to be unpacked. All compounded by the fact that we moved from a three bedroom house to a one and a bit bedroom apartment. The boxes are numbered and I have a list of what's in them but it's the sheer volume that's daunting.<br />
<br />

But I digress... I know a couple of weeks ago I promised to show you my <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/my-home-bathroom-makeover-sneak-peek.html" target="_blank">under $200 bathroom makeover</a>. And this week I said I'd blog about artist <a href="http://www.tsktsk.com.au/content/gallery.asp?name=about" style="background-color: white; color: #2b8f8a; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;" target="new">Tiel Seivl-Keevers</a> and the painting I have of hers. But instead I'm going to show you the state of my apartment this morning because I couldn't shoot the images I need for those blog posts. It's totally not <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/my-home-loving-freedom.html" target="_blank">blog worthy</a>, so the point of this post is to keep it real. School holidays as a work-from-home single parent with no help is super demanding and tricky to say the least.<br />

Summer has well and truly arrived here in Sydney and that meant hauling out the summer clothes and getting Roxy to try things on to see if they still fit. There they are all over the sofa in my bedroom, as well as clothes from yesterday and Roxy's (enormous!) softies. The crafting mess is still on the dining table together with a half eaten packet of crackers Roxy opened this morning and boxes of craft stuff still on the floor. My desk and the area around it is piled high with things that need sorting. The bin needs emptying. Look familiar?<br />
<br />
School is back next week, so I hope then to be able to finally finish the bathroom, swap over the summer and winter clothes, find a place for all the craft things and get sorted enough to take the photos and share the promised posts. No promises on getting the garage sorted any time soon though.<br />

New Yorker <a href="http://advancedstyle.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Ari Seth Cohen</a> does exactly that. He's like <a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/" target="_blank">The Sartorialist</a> for women of advanced years. How great is that? <br />
<br />
He says: <i>I roam the streets of New York looking for the
most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these
ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the
fullest. <a href="http://advancedstyle.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Advanced Style</a> offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set
that personal style advances with age.</i><br />

Are you inspired? How can we not be? I love that these women have such a great sense of self and style, and that it seems to be an important part of who they are, as well as being key to them living their best life. All this regardless of what society expects or rather, doesn't expect of women of a 'certain age'.<br />

You can see previous posts of the process <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/new-beginnings.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/my-home-dining-corner.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/my-home-doors-before-after.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I've always had a clear vision for my new space and a definite budget which has meant splurging on a few things and finding some real bargains as well.<br />
<br />
I'm now at the stage where I'm adding the finishing touches and as the budget is beyond stretched I'm trying not to be lured by shiny new things! So I was excited when <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/" target="_blank">Freedom</a> asked me if I'd like a store voucher to shop their new collection. Yes please!<br />
<br />
I had a good think about what I need and what would work in my space. My style is generally pretty eclectic and what I genuinely love about Freedom is that their range of furniture and homewares is on trend but also has enough breadth to work with different tastes and styles. I love that they don't do 'cookie cutter' products.<br />
<br />
One thing that I really needed was a bookshelf in my bedroom. I have a lot of books. I'm trying to keep my apartment uncluttered and I was <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/search?q=frenchie" target="_blank">struggling to find a solution</a>. Cue the <i>Spine</i> bookshelf.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIk4_UASNOPj3bHvApH2_9J906qpBS9cIARY9NrU5M-Y_Vj2lNUhybQjiRp4VpyvOwkDOZ9hG27NQKuNtK1n8WkXq9BzhJy_lM46Aj6lIFS2fDvZf8NYgclZFl193RzIx1w8QFILJYsB9z/s1600/lisaTilse_Bookshelf1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIk4_UASNOPj3bHvApH2_9J906qpBS9cIARY9NrU5M-Y_Vj2lNUhybQjiRp4VpyvOwkDOZ9hG27NQKuNtK1n8WkXq9BzhJy_lM46Aj6lIFS2fDvZf8NYgclZFl193RzIx1w8QFILJYsB9z/s1600/lisaTilse_Bookshelf1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I love about the <i>Spine</i> is that it it turns your books into a sculpture. It's tall and elegant with a tiny footprint and allows my beautiful books to be the star. It's holding 102 books - can you believe it? And they are super easy to access as there are numerous divider shelves. Priced at $299, it's such a stylish and affordable alternative to the norm. [Spine currently isn't online, but it is in store.]</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The amazing painting is by <a href="http://www.tsktsk.com.au/content/gallery.asp?name=about" style="background-color: white; color: #2b8f8a; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;" target="new">Tiel Seivl-Keevers</a> - full reveal post coming up next week. The chartreuse sofa is Freedom's <i><a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/furniture/sofas/fabric-sofas/23277441/frenchie-25-seat-sofa-scooter-highlighter/" target="_blank">Frenchie</a></i> which <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com.au/search?q=frenchie" target="_blank">I bought earlier this year</a> as soon as it was released because I loved it and had to have it. Yes, I have a sofa in my bedroom - it's actually bigger than the living room!<br />
<br />
Next, in my living room I was in need of a floor lamp. For me lighting is often the element I have the most trouble deciding on but when I saw the <i><a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/homewares/lighting/floor-lights/23257085/studio-floor-lamp-white/" target="_blank">Studio</a></i> I knew it was the one. I love it's tripod legs and utilitarian simplicity and at only $149 I would have bought it even without the gift voucher.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On to my verandah... I'd made some cushion covers for my outdoor seating, but the sun had faded them and they were looking a bit tired. I saw and loved Freedom's range of <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/productsearch.aspx?CategoryID=66&SearchText=cushions" target="_blank">outdoor cushions</a> then I discovered they are UV fade resistant, water resistant. Perfect. They work well with my vintage quilt, and in store they were styled with contemporary outdoor furniture and they also looked fab.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had so much fun browsing around <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" target="_blank">Freedom</a> with my $500 gift voucher. I wanted to make it stretch so I could solve a few remaining decorating issues rather than buy a single item, and that was easy to do. [I did go slightly over my $500 budget, but I needed all 4 cushions.] As you know I only accept sponsored posts if I genuinely love and would use the product, and as you probably also know I do shop at <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" target="_blank">Freedom</a> - no incentive needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I wasn't already sorted for outdoor furniture I would have definitely bought these <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/furniture/outdoor/chairs-benches/23320079/weekender-occasional-chair-teal/" target="_blank"><i>Weekender</i> chairs</a>. Love. What do you think? Freedom also has a large range of <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/homewares/storage/boxes-baskets/?page=0" target="_blank">beautiful baskets</a> which caught my eye. I think I need one at the front door as a catch-all for shoes and also a laundry hamper. Are you currently on the lookout for any homewares?</div>
