Pinterest

Hello there!

I know, I know. Its been a while. I could list a whole variety of reasons (slow craft season due to the heat, crazy at day-work, new computer) but the main reason is that I broke my camera while I was in NZ and haven't been able to replace it yet. And what is a craft-blog post without a picture? A little bit boring, that's what.

So, until I can scrounge up the funds for a new point and shoot, if you are missing me you can follow me over on Pinterest. Pinterest is a new online inspiration board type site, where users can "pin" pictures etc to their "boards". Its very addictive and hugely time consuming, so perfect for procrastinating. My favourite.

Some pretty famous bloggers are over there pinning up a storm, which is awesome because you can "re-pin" anything you like to your own boards.

Check it out if you are one of those people constantly saving images or ripping pages out of books.

Here is what one of my boards look like, to give you an idea.


Like I said, what is a craft post without a picture...

PS: Leave me a comment if you would like to be invited to Pinterest. It's invite only and I have 7 left. Otherwise it takes a few days, if you request an invite.

It's fun to browse, even when you can't buy (yet). Here are a few more inspirational pics I have collected for the apt... (sorry, again I lost the links)

EepyBird's Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.

Extreme sticky note experiment from Eepybird - who are more famous for their diet-coke/mentos videos.

**Watch out for the celebrity cameo from an ex-Roswell cast member!!!** I think its him, anyway.

Happy Friday people. I have been crafting and hopefully will have something to show you next week. Eek!

Shuuuz

I have had three dreams about shoes this week. Something tells me my sub-concious wants to go shopping.

Check out what I accidently found online when I was supposed to be looking for a doctor...

OMG you guys...


I'm hoping the stylist for WonderWoman knows where to find these. You can get them from DSquared.

I'm actually seriously considering these for a nice pair of walking-to-the-subway-in-the-snow-and-then-keeping-on-all-day-unless-I-have-a-client-meeting-kicks. They would be like an investment. Is patent leather good in the snow?


Even more fun with coloured laces,


Get them from Nike or The Good Will Out.

And now for some of my new season faves from my favourite NZ shoe designer Kathryn Wilson. Drooool.

House Porn

Over on Design*Sponge there is a sneak peak into the home of Meredith Kleinman. I love looking at cute, well decorated "normal" houses like these - even though it fills me with abode-envy. Sometimes it even leads me to think about living in the 'burbs.


One day I might - but for now I will just dream that my apartment also has an outdoor living escape.


Look at that tub!

Colourstrology

What colour are you? Pantone has a quiz over here, where all you do is find your birthday.

I am Hot Sauce!



Again not what I was hoping for but at least it wasn't... sink drain green.

What Sort of Yarn Are You?

I am Acrylic!!

Acrylic:
All about the crazy colours and patterns, the pop culture, the cheap and mindless. Still, there are some acrylics of quality out there, so don't despair.

Um... thanks? I think I would rather be neon cashmere (not one of the answers) but I'll take it.

To find out what kind you are go here.

Popbitch Radio

The weekly gossip newsletter/group/website has launched their own radio station.

Register and listen here.

I like the mix of Prince, Britney, Roy Orbisson and any thing else you like because they take requests and there are no DJs or ads! Haaaaaaaaaaa-leh-LOO-yah!

You can vote on what you are streaming, Otter or Rotter.

And best of all they have a weazel logo.
