On Flickr that is :) First subject: plushies! Although they're more like little sculptures made of felt, fabric and yarn. Want to see the ones I picked? You can check them out here!

Why my Monday sucked…
… more than usual ;)
1. It’s raining (AGAIN!)
2. My pet rat needs an operation :(
3. I was so busy at work I started a hundred chores but finished none…
4. I want to lie down on the couch eating chocolate but instead I have to bike through the rain and work out at the gym………
And last but not least:
5. I walked around at work with INK on my face!
(...)
A few things that make it a bit better though:
1. I’m watching the first Dexter-episode of season 5 tonight!
2. My felt and fabric bunny is featured on Undane.co.uk!
3. It's almost Tuesday
(…)
Um… Yeah. Well. That’s it really – can’t think of anything else.
Damn you, Monday!!!

WIP: a clear blue scarf :)
Because the weather has been dreadful lately, and because the days are getting shorter, and colder, and because I need some color and warmth in the winter that is to come…
… I’m knitting a scarf!
To be continued! :)

Q. What's more fun than Etsy?
A. Regretsy! :D
One of my colleagues forwarded me the most amazing site today. The name and slogan alone are enough to make my day:
Regretsy: where DIY meets WTF.
The whole concept is so simply brilliant I wish I had thought of it myself: it describes itself as 'the fail blog of hand crafts' and features all kinds of insane items people actually dare to ask money for on Etsy.com. Because even though Etsy is home to some of the prettiest handmade stuff out there, it's apparently also a Magnet for the Weird...
Here are five random things I stumbled upon:
1. A modest little scarf...
2. A very striking (?!) portrait of Zach Braff...
3. A 'beautifully' 'crafted' bracelet...
4. A totally unreadable embroidery piece - yours for only $225!! (WTF?!)
5. Kawaii glasses...
Wait - I actually like that last one :D
Want to be amazed? Check out more crazy items on Regretsy.com!

Pippin got published :)
Do you remember the little felt dog I made back in January? It was based on a linocut called 'Pippin & the World', made by Martin.
Well, guess what? It was published in a Dutch magazine about dogs!
Our own little Pippin got published :) A great excuse to post a totally random, totally cute pic of baby-Pippin!
They do grow up fast, don't they? ;)

A Day at the Zoo :)
Yesterday, me and my friends went to the zoo!
We saw tiny animals...
Slightly bigger animals...
And really big animals!
We met a cranky seagull...
... who tried to steal our candy!
We saw some 'very dangerous animals'!
Who could bite... 'very hard'!
Some were common...
... others were... not so common :)
And what do you do after a long day at the zoo?
You drink hot chocolate. With cream!!!
Who said we are too old for stuff like this??? :)

They DANCE! :)
