I will call her Hortensia and she shall hang on the Christmas tree.

Pattern from this brilliant book, slightly tweaked. I suspect there will be more crocheted creations to come. Holidays are for craft not writing lectures.

I knew stamp collecting was cool!

Iconic british design on stamps?...thank goodness i didn't throw away my stamp albums. More stamps here.

Paris vs New York....I can't pick

Fantastic work by graphic designer Vahram Muratyan. There are so many more comparisons up on his blog - you must to go check it out. I want them all up in a big frame on my wall.

I'm loving this album right now. It has just the right amount of mellow head-bobbing to get me through  my data analyses...

bright new faces!


A little weekend reupholstering project - i remember these chairs from when i was little and they were covered in brown vinyl (late 80's fabulous!).
Recently dusted off and donated to me by my Dad, they have their bright new faces on and are ready for visitors! (perhaps my co-author would like to drop round for tea?!)
