It really is time to start using those pictures you have been uploading to Flick'r. 

 It excites me how craft, DIY is capturing this extraordinary time in design history. With the online obsession of Flick'r and blogs it is a no brainer that we are seeing young designers expressing this online past-time in their designs. Textile designer Dorte Agergaard  known for her use of digital printing is inspired by everyday objects that are rearranged and placed in a new context, playing with our notions of normality  "I'm fascinated by ordinary things which surround us in everyday life," says Dorte. 

 

"Throughout design history we have embellished and marked objects to capture the time it was made. This is something we wanted to explore more through our designs" says Stefan Baijings.

Adding digital printing to your textiles or furniture is a fantastic way to update the bland and the boring.

If you do make sure you share them with us.

Sleeping On The Moon

 We all know it but I will say it again. Sometimes the simplest ideas can be the most wonderful and inspiring. Sleeping on the moon during a weekend afternoon... How divine. 

When Ollie my fiance asked me on our first date he said "Would I like to walk on the moon with him?" I thought it was a little kooky so I replied "yes". Next thing I knew we were walking into the Imax theater and putting on oversized 3D glasses. The lights went down and we were on the moon.  

Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday.

One Day In Paris

This is such a brilliant idea from blogger Little Brown Pen called Perpetual Paris Photo Collage + Perennial  Calendar. It's a calender consisting of photographs capturing a time when Nichole lived in Paris. Check out the blog about how he did it and watch this video to follow some of the journey. This is something we can all do and if not well buy it from Etsy.  I'm sure we will start to see some other cities soon. Meanwhile lets just imagine this weekend where in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Bonjour and Happy Friday everyone!!!

Cardboard Love

There is something I need to share with you! I'm a crazy romantic so when I came across Cardboard Love of course I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Joey the maker of these little bits of cardboard never imagined the massive response he would get from his website. Everyday he posts a new love note too Maria. "In general, I am a pretty negative person. This project has been a chance for me to focus on the positive for a change," says Joey. This project demonstrates you only need a small piece of cardboard to show that you care about someone.
