Ahoy! I wasn’t around last week, or I was asleep, whatevs. Have some nice things from across the grand expanse of the internets…
Cute Poppytalk weekend project, door shelf! Unfortunately I think all the doors in my house are at corners of the room, so this probably wouldn’t work… pretty, though.
Custom painted nikes from Happy Cash, loving these Mario ones… there’re also some neat hello kitty ones. Unfortunately all seem to be sold out..!
Another cute studio on Unplggd, makes me wish I had the energy to sort my small space out. Bah!
Pixels. This video was doing the rounds the other week, it’s super neat and geeky. Had a hard time tracking it down again, seems to have been removed from a few places because of copyright stuff. Here it is, though.
And finally a nice, friendly introduction to PHP from Smashing Mag. Soon, me and PHP will be firm friends!
Hey guys, sorry about the lack of posts this week, been a busy one! I do have several recipes and some other goodies lined up as drafts though that I’ll work on this weekend and schedule for next week :) Also, this week I will not put this stuff in lists. NO MORE SEMANTICS FOR ME THIS WEEK! I tell you. For the past few days I’ve spent a good chunk of time c&p’ing things from word documents and adding freakin’ ols, uls and p tags all over the shop. Not fun.
It was Chuck Norris’ birthday this week, so here’s a celebratory Chuck Norris chopping board. Did you know that Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door? Oh, Chuck.
Amazing balloon sculptures by Hans Hemmert, love the deflated tank. Via booooooom
Some of the best tattoos I’ve seen in a while, from New York tattoo artist Amanda Wachob. I’ve been trying to pin-point the style I want my foot tattoos in, and I wanted a kind of washy japanese/chinese ink stroke style. The bird here is just a perfect example. So, do I fly to New York or find someone local who works the same way?! hah.

HADOUKEN! erm.. Hoboken. Some photoshop wizard came up with this cute adjustment to a New Jersey road sign for Hoboken… which sounds a lot like Ryu’s HADOUKEN! via thetanooki
Adam, don’t be afraid if one day you come back and our cats are sharks… or mother fucking space ships!
Some geeks transformed a room into an amazing dungeons and dragons den, it even has a sounds system and a fog machine (FOG MACHINE!). All it needs now is a gunge-machine for when that huge fucking gelatinous cube comes at you. Dude. Via boingboing
Also on unplggd this week there’s this sweet Mario and Luigi styled furniture. I know I’m like 25 and all that, but I would SERIOUSLY consider this for my next house. Altho I’m still wanting a raptor bed. Almost bought dinosaur bed covers in tesco. Amazing.
Sorry, this is turning into some kinda bi-weekly (di-weekly?) good stuff lately… blame Christmas shoppers and their insistence of buying from finestimaginary.com (oh hai, shameless plug… 20% off with code SNOWFLAKE).
Let’s kick this off with a fabulous t-shirt sale at Threadless! they already started their $12 Christmas sale, but they’ve knocked all shirts down to $9 for black friday! Woop! I bought the one above.
Last Saturday I went to jodrell bank with Adam for Jodcast Live (the jodcast is a monthly podcast all about astronomy, if you’re into that shit you should definitely give it a listen)! Adam did the sound effects, they were lovely. The majority of the day was actually spent driving around Cheshire… also, I drove to Macclesfield, what a stupid place.. how many roundabouts does one place need? Jesus.
I’m in love with these super colourful prints from Pancakes & Franks. Really, really nice, check out their site to see the others in the series.
Lily Cole and Lady Gaga (and some guy) in vogues Hansel and Gretel photoshoot by Annie Liebovitz. More here. Speaking of Lady Gaga, I’ve been obsessed with her new video and album this week. Love her!
Speaking of cats, Pumpkin & Bramble had their lady-parts ripped away the other day. They’ve now got giant bald patches on one side, poor kittens. Pumpkin has already managed to rip out her stitch too, nice.
Craft magazine has had a few posts about machine knitting lately, I’ve always wanted to try it out.I might invest in a machine next winter, knit up some great things for the store – what do you think?
And to finish, you should definitely check out the Luxirare blog if you don’t already. I’m not sure if she’s a genius or has way too much spare time, this is one of my favourite posts on how to make parfait (seriously, you NEED to check this out, it’s not an every day recipe at all).
Hi guys, did you have a good halloween? We totally did! As I mentioned on Friday, we went dressed up as Mario & Luigi. Thursday night was spent constructing out oversized hats and getting everything together for our outfits. Here’s how we turned out:
We couldn’t be bothered with the tasches in the end, I figured it’d just end up smearing all over my face… and Adam pretty much has one anyway. So we ran around like we we’re in a platform game most of the night, got our photos taken by complete random people and got totally drunk! Ah! Lovely.
Hi, I'm Kim. Between being a web designer and making pretty things I'm mostly interested in Creatures (regular and crypto), geekiness, my inner domestic goddess, drawing and coffee.
