I want an adventure, I want it now.. This Blog Linked From Here Thursday, 1 March 2012 I want an adventure, I want it now.. I don't want to stay here, it's turning me sour. (French For Rabbits - Marauder)Yesterday morning, the sun was shining as Kayley left, so I decided to go on a little adventure of my own. I've lived here for just over a year now, and yet I haven't explored the coast path that starts right near my flat.I started off in a wooly hat, snood and jumper, worried that it would be colder than it looked, but I soon had to strip off into my t-shirt! Absolute bliss. Email ThisBlogThis!

Split the lark-- McLaughlin Designs | Create a Fashion Statement {knitting, photography, design} We are fully immersed in the “Do it Yourself Era.” The trend is fueled by nostalgia, this same nostalgia drives us back to fixie bikes, film cameras, and vinyls. My parents generation (the baby boomers) fled their roots to make a new life for themselves. They started businesses, created the current status quo for families (two kids, two cars, mid sized suburban home), and gave their children everything they didn’t have growing up. As a result the current generation of young people (20-30yr olds) and many others are trying to return to their roots and rediscover what makes things have emotional value. We can buy most things we want (made in China) for practically nothing, so we long for something more, something that will have emotional value.
Many find this by making things themselves, or find meaning by buying things with a purpose (TOMS shoes, 31 Bits Jewelry, Crochet Kids). Items whose value is not in what they are, their value is the hope they give someone else. Beads of Cambay Etsy. Rinse. Repeat. Scathingly Brilliant. A Beautiful Mess. I love using cloth napkins to dress up our dinner table, and through the years I've grown even more fond of their sustainability and cost effectiveness. Though, I'm not sure how cost effective it is if you keep buying more and more cloth napkins each year! This holiday season I thought it would be fun to look at how I could dress up the napkins I already own to give them an extra festive vibe. Check out three simple ways you can give new life to your table linens. And hey! Two of them are even no sew! Ribbon Trimmed Napkin This look is so (no sew) simple! Supplies:-ribbon-heat bond in width of ribbon-cloth napkin (buy mine here)-iron-fabric scissors (not shown above) Step One: Trim pieces of your ribbon to be about 1.5 inches longer than the width of your napkins.
Step Two: Fold down the edges of each ribbon segment about 1/4" and iron flat. Step Three: Iron the heat bond to the ribbon (pressing with hot iron for two seconds), then peel off the paper backing. Pom-Pom Trimmed Napkin. OH SO PRETTY the DIARIES. Hello Sugar Cane. Belrossa. Rae Gun Ramblings. University. I happen to know that whole bunch of my readers have just gotten their Alevel results and are nervously getting ready to head off to uni.
So this is an open letter to anyone who's not sure what to expect. It's the advice I wish I had been given when I headed out into the big, wide world, so hopefully it will help you too. Dear fresher, Welcome to one of the most important chapters of your life. You will change more in the next few years than you could ever imagine. What's more, you'll love it. University has a way of stripping away the person you think you should be and showing you who you really are. Enjoy it! Don't take yourself too seriously. Pack up your belongings, your posters, your photos, your books and your teddies.
Pile into the car with mum, dad & the dog, and head off into your new life. When you arrive, take your parents, find your room, kiss them, hug them, cry and say goodbye. Crack open the laptop, put some music on, wedge the door open and get unpacking. She misses you already. Tutorials. I hope that you enjoy my tutorials - I love to put them together for you.

I just wanted to make note of some good comics on sale now that I think everyone should hear about. I've mentioned my studiomates before, as well as some of the people working in the studio around the way.
I'll probably mention them all again, too, because I honestly feel privileged to know these guys and see them work. The building my studio is in will, I think, be one of those places you read about twenty years from now as being the center of great things. People will marvel at all the talent assembled and read about the creative energy crackling in the room, the way today we read about the old Marvel Bullpen or the studios of Paris where Pablo met Henri, or maybe the Cedar Tavern where Willem punched Clem.
I really think it's going to be that important to the world of comics. Of course I don't have anything to do with the great things. But these guys, they inspire me, with their talent and their work ethic. So this is where this post comes in.
