These are cool!

Wall decor that is a little bit different!




Made from Wool Felt - ninety pieces stitched together to create these really cool wall art pieces. Found on Etsy and made by LilacSaloon. Thanks to Happiness Is for pointing me in the directing of LilacSaloon.

A big softie and a little softie

Some of you may remember this post, where I had my first attempt at hand-making a softie for my unwell small-one. I ended up making another that next week for a friend who has had a baby girl. Even since then The Husband has been pestering me to buy him some felt so that he could have a go.


I finally got around to it and this is the result. I am more than impressed. He tells me not to get too excited and that this is probably the only softie he will make but I think I can twist his arm. He clearly has talent. Aside from the basic cat pattern which we got from Cat and Simple Softies, he designed the rest himself.


Needless to say, Bat Cat was a huge hit with the small-one. Nice one Dad!

A Modernist take on a Trailer Park

I would love to visit Palm Springs. The Modernist architecture really appeals to my nostalgic side.

Check out these photos from Jeffrey Milstein (found via Happiness Is) of a Palm Springs Trailer Park. Cool yes!
