    @nicwinton JEEZ. How many people are eating? Those are some monster pizzas!


    RT @servantofchaos: Love the way people send me articles to post on my website. Like it’s a community noticeboard for their dullness


    I don’t even have kids but I think it’s awesome that @yow_oz are offering childminding at their conference! https://t.co/qKLZGiibEK


    RT @yow_oz: @web_goddess We believe we’re the first dev conf to do so. Really hoping this new service gives attendees with kids to ‘have it…


    @gilmae @chrisdoble Glad we could help. It’s always fun to talk shop with peers I respect. 🙂


    @delitescere @nxdnz @realestate_au @yow_oz Hey, it’s a step. Perfect is the enemy of good.


    Busted by @darthted scoping out the sale rack at Sportscraft. The #frocktober collection might be about to grow!


    @randomknits Aww a little kitty nook!


    @RoseRed_Shoes Yes… two of them might have come home with me!


    @RoseRed_Shoes (I have a dress problem.)


    @RoseRed_Shoes The problem is that the wardrobe is getting pretty full!

    @catehstn I think that’s pretty much the gist of it.


    Have you seen the new @canva UI? Absolutely blown away by our amazing dev team. Ship fast and adapt! https://t.co/fM3APV7Zsu


    RT @zrail: Whenever I see a link to Medium I actively avoid it. Even if I know and like the writer. Own your words https://t.co/k7asXkENmF …


    RT @dontgetcaught: On women & speaking up in meetings: Lessons after JLaw’s essay https://t.co/zz7hu1MWcd with insights from @TheMarySue & …


    Flower Sack Dresses From the Flour Mills (Historical Kindness) https://t.co/xoie0AGmpF I want all of these fabrics! https://t.co/b4WuMtuDvH


    @Yarna_ Haha! I actually tried that one year but I just ended up getting food colouring all over the kitchen. 🙂


    @GGDmelb Thanks for the RT! I give a shout out to Girl Geeks in my talk, so I’m hoping there are some in the audience. 🙂

    WHOA! I have officially topped last year’s #frocktober total, and it’s only the 21st! Thanks so much everybody. https://t.co/bsC4guObef


    @gilmae @chrisdoble We recently had a #chatspill, and we are now living in the land of Slack. 🙂

    @allybeaton I know @lisaaharrison1 is looking for some help with the @techwomenaus blog!


    I had a visit from the @canva sticker fairy today! (Actually it was @coconutbananadc.) https://t.co/kqX0VlHTKS https://t.co/UUKu7iIzHp


    Yummy @canvavibe lunch today from @eatdrinkpaleo’s cookbook! https://t.co/HkcDqrco2H https://t.co/PX92UqilcP


    I think we need to add “seniorpreneur” and “datapreneur” to the ban list, @rosepowell. (I’ve seen both used non-ironically today.) *shudder*


    @stevelikesyou Needs a disclaimer on the back like the Puppet User Group. 🙂 https://t.co/OMGNKvZMco


    @NicoleWill100 @rosepowell WTF. “Mumpreneur”? Do my cats count? How fricking belittling is that? GAHHHH.


    Rage. What a goddamn belittling way to refer to room full of smart, talented female founders. #notamum https://t.co/NYw7C2qzyq


    @delitescere @NicoleWill100 @rosepowell Yeah, funny how they don’t use a special word when men do it.


    Today I asked @zachkitschke to teach me how to say no to things. I have become one of Those People.


    @AlanSmithOz @rosepowell Haha, yes, referring to the words, not the people!


    @mobywhale @msharp She better be!! 🙂


    @aloveofrunning @FenstarDeLuxe @Internode Mine’s out too.

    Better get in quick!


    #frocktober day 21: self-made Laurel dress from @colettepatterns. I hit my fundraising goal!

    I’m currently at $1055.60 raised for ovarian cancer research. Thank you so much to Eileen, Samuel, Zena, and Svetlana for putting me over the top!


  • Frocktober

    I just hit my Frocktober fundraising goal! My total is currently sitting at $1055.60. So far 20 people have donated towards ovarian cancer research: Zena, Svet, Kara, Bernie, Dave, Nigel, Sam, Varun, M-H & Sandra, Donna & David, Sue, Fiona, Eileen, Damana, Jess, Gem, Sera, and Tiny. Thank you all so much! Ten more days to go…

    For the curious, I’ve just counted and so far 11 of my 21 #frocktober dresses this month have been sewn by me! So my wardrobe isn’t quite as insane as you might think. I mean, it is, but I can excuse some of it on the grounds that I MADE IT MAHSELF.
