Lots of things this fine Friday. I was going to tell you about my cat’s new litter tray, it’s fucking amazing, but I think it deserves a post all on it’s own… So yeah, what a random aside. I’m sure you don’t really want to hear my inner dialogue, right? Or maybe you do… hum. ON WITH THE GOOD STUFF! YEAH! … YEAH!
You dropped it on the floor, do you eat it? Shamefully under representing the xxSeconds rule. You know, if you’ve been drinking, you can increase the seconds rule by several alcohol related integers. Fact.
Lovely illustrations from Juan Molinet (you can find his behance here). Via thunderchunky (one of my favourite blogs).
Design*sponge article about ‘living in Fantastic Mr.Fox’ which is all pretty and lovely and nice. Check it out.
That’s all for this week! I would like to say that yesterday I signed up to do the race for life in July. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a 5km local run that happens country-wide in the UK. It’s run solely by women and is to raise money for cancer research UK. Anyway, you should all totally go and sponsor my ass over here. Funnily enough, we went to the gym last night for the first time in an ever… and I pretty much killed myself running 1km. Yeah. O.O
Interesting take on the classic tomato pin-cushion, a crochet version… free pattern here. You should also check out her blog, tonnes of cute amigurumi!
A few books for you this week, the first is this great one on modern packaging design. The preserves packaging is quite apt, I’ll be making some new labels for mine and Adam’s christmas kitchen delights soon!
I can’t get a decent photo of these hardbacks, and the amazon one has that silly ‘look inside’ thing on. Meh. In Waterstones the other day, I spotted these super pretty hardback versions of His Dark Materials. With my dire financials atm I can’t really quantify dropping £60 on them, alas! Amazon has them for the measly sum of £11 each rather than £20. They’ve most definitely been added to my wishlist. This is the Northern Lights copy.
OMFG how good are google docs? I have actually become obsessed with them this week. We’ve got a spreadsheet on the go with our ‘christmas extravaganza holiday freetime’ days planned out. One days I’ll screen grab so that you can all be privy to how odd my household is. ‘oh hello Mr.Snowman how the devil are you?‘
Star trek kicks? OH HELL YEAH. If any of my american readers fancy, you know, sending me some, that would be dandy. I’m going to ask the parents to bring me some back from florida. ‘Oh Hi, florida? SEND ME STAR TREK SHOES k thx’
Speaking of my parents and their Floridian holiday, I’ve been skyping with my mum… best chat message ever ‘hot topic’s full of that actor you like, dad says he is a vampire’. Honestly, I’m not a twihard. Nor am I a furry, don’t ask me why I’m on a furry fandom list on twitter.
Oh, I definitely would. I’m not sure where it would go, though. Trek light fitting! I’m excited for the Huddersfield christmas lights switch on, I think that Jean Luc Picard himself is doing the honors! Either him, or Professor Xavier.
Tenuous link (they were both in Hamlet), but are you psyched for the new Dr. Who?! I AM I AM!
And finally, seeing as there’s not many photos in the post, have a Me, with my new fringe. Here I am being delightful.
Have good weekends! What are you guys up to? I’m going to dash around Manchester perhaps wearing my new boots, and then I’m going to drink wine! FUN. TIMES.
Last night I saw a cat toy which had the most EXCITED kitten in the world on the packaging. I’m totally gunna go back and get a photo of it for you guys, amazing. How was your week? Have some good stuff…
Just clicked through to this from Nubby Twiglet’s link love post, Uncomfortable Plot Summaries. You will piss your pants.
I got a tumblr the other day, so you can see my ‘digital’ scrapbook. Some of the things may end up in the WGS, but quite a lot will just hang out there. Don’t ask me what a tumblr is.
We saw Inglorious Basterds on Sunday, you should go and see it. It was wicked coooool. We were pretty drunk when we went, and I ordered pepsi max from the concessions by saying ‘We want pepsi max, because it’s awesome, to the MAX!’. It’s a laugh riot, a laugh riot.
It should also be noted that I got my eyebrows threaded in the middle of a busy shopping centre. It was an experience.
Been a bit quiet around here this week hasn’t it? I’ve been kinda busy, I have a new/rehashed project in the works that’s taken up most of my evenings. All will be revealed next month.
This is the best thing I’ve seen all fucking week. Look at him! Legend!
This guitar is like a stick of rock, and I like rock. On another guitar related note, RIP to the legend behind the modern electric guitar Mr. Les Paul who died yesterday.
That was short and sweet, hope you had a good week guys, and an even better weekend. I will be celebrating Beardy McBeardface’s birthday and eating an ostrich burger.
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.
