i HEART ullabenulla

Ullabenulla... I love this blog. Big time. Whenever I visit Ulla's blog, I sigh over all the eye candy, and art, and lovely objects- everything is so inspiring! I get all wistful, and then I feel like teleporting myself here to the shop where she teaches classes in altered books, etc. Why aren't there places like Castle in the Air in France??

One good blog leads to another

I just added 2 new blogs to my sidebar: print & pattern which I found via craft itch. How am I ever to get off the computer now?! I think you'll really like these too :o)

Robots on the brain

NB: My finger is much better but then last weekend my head decided that a migraine would be fun to take Pain up to the next level (or two), hence the lack of posts lately.
Anyway this very cool felt robot I saw on BoingBoing today made me start thinking about robots again, so I thought I'd post this robot photo I took last Summer at the expo dedicated to the late Belgian comic book artist Franquin. I don't know what comic book this one appeared in though.

My son Miles loves robots so I decided to check out his cyborg name and I might have known that something like this would come up... how fitting. Funnily enough, my robot name compliments his quite nicely.

Biscuits de Noël

Make some Christmas cookies this weekend! I stumbled onto Christmas-cookies.com where they have lots of yummy looking recipes. I especially like the search function because you can even search by country of origin, which is how I found lots of German cookie recipes like these Springerle here. I have the best memories of making and decorating Christmas cookies with my mother and brother. If you have children in your life make some cookies and memories with them today. If there aren't any kids about, whip some up anyway and enjoy the wonderful smell of fresh baked cookies chez vous!

...fantastisk!

No that's not a typographical error, read on and you'll find out why!
I love it when someone leaves a nice comment on my blog which in turn leads me to theirs, especially when I discover a new fun blog. Thanks Laila for doing this! I just bookmarked your blog and couldn't resist adding it to my sidebar. Have a look at Laila's blog All My Own, and see what she's crafting up in Norway!
