Log & Squirrel Self Watering Planter

[ 0 ] July 22, 2010

TweetShortly after Jarod moved in with me, we went out and bought some indoor plants. We thought it was a good idea at the time, but after owning these plants for a month, mine were dead (or almost there) and Jarod’s were thriving. Maybe if my plants had been sitting in these pots, I wouldn’t [...]

[ 1 ] July 21, 2010

TweetHave you ever thought ‘I wish I could clean my floor while I walk in my slippers?’  Nah, me either.  But I’ll bet that was the train of though that lead to the Slipper Genie Floor Cleaning Slippers.

Who else still misses David Tennant as The Doctor?

Who else still misses David Tennant as The Doctor?

[ 5 ] July 19, 2010

TweetYes, Matt Smith makes a great Doctor for the next generation. But he’s not Tennant. Sniff. Leigh found this pattern for me on the weekend, and I’m madly practicing my technique so I can make a brilliant Tennant-Doctor to keep me warm at night. I can’t wake up next to the real David Tennant, but [...]

[ 2 ] July 17, 2010

TweetOkay people, there have been some great finds on YouTube this week. But what’s been YOUR favourite?? Has it been that double rainbow guy? Or the earworm song remix version of him? Personally, my fave has been the Old Spice ads. Featuring Mr Isaiah Mustafa: Can’t talk; swooning! ;)

Seedling: creative gifts for kids.

[ 2 ] July 15, 2010

TweetI’m not very good with kids (in general). But especially so when it comes to present giving. Despite having been a kid once (so I’m told) I have no idea what they are into at certain ages, nor what is ‘right’ for a girl or a boy. All I remember is that when I was [...]

TweetI missed the boat when it was first released, so a week or so back when I noticed Portal on special I splurged the two American dollars and made it mine.  Til playing it, I never realised why it had cult status.  Now however, I understand that the cake is a lie. These instructions are [...]

It was bound to happen – Zombie Cupcakes!

[ 3 ] July 12, 2010

TweetZilly Rosen’s undead take on the continuing cupcake craze isn’t released until September, but I’m putting this on my wishlist now! How could you resist recipes like Strawberry Blood Cupcakes and Rotting Flesh Lime Cakes? Apparently they give you theme ideas like gravestones, brains, rising zombies, eye poppers, 28 Cupcakes Later and Icing of the Living [...]

TweetWhat better way to start the working week than to reflect on the good bits of the week just gone? Or I guess you could just start your Monday morning by replicating the comic below (if you don’t already).

Magnetic Vase

Magnetic Vase

[ 3 ] July 8, 2010

TweetI really like these magnetic vases. If we owned a dining table… and a table cloth, then I would totally buy some. But I guess for now I’ll just stick with the old jar I use on the odd occasion I am given flowers.
