It ain't easy being green!

Oh my!! I've been such a bad blogger lately!!! Due to back pain I tried to spend as little time in front of my computer as possible, which did wonders for my back... but not so much for my blog :)

So here's 5 random things I've been up to these past few weeks (for some odd reason all containing the colour green... ;)!

1. Me and my new macro lens are still obsessed with dewdrops...



2... and cats :)



3. I decided to declare my Love For Dots by buying this super cute Cath Kidston saddle bag! :)



4. Pimping my iPhone :)



5. And last but not least:



DOMO LOVES YARN!!! :)

Hello Earthlings!

Excuse my lack of posting - I've been busy... How busy you ask? Well, let's just say: when you try to unlock your home door with your job’s entry pass instead of your keys, you need a vacation…

Unfortunately for me, I don’t have time for a vacation! I’ve been so busy with work and taking care of sick pets I’ve hardly had time for anything else. And since things aren’t going to slow down any time soon, I might as well accept it: there's just not enough time to have it all!

There is however time for winning LOADS OF MONEY!!! :D Today is the 10th of October of 2010 - the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year - and the national lottery assures me it's my lucky day!

Now, before you’ll go all sceptical on me, let’s skip to the fun stuff: here’s my Ten Things I’ll Do With The Millions I’ll Win On The 10th of October 2010-list!! :D

1. I will dance in the street
2. I will buy pretty dresses and wear them all the time!
3. I will buy a cottage for my parents
4. I will drink Kiki-cappuccino at the Ghibli Museum in Japan
5. I will tweet about it on my new iPhone
6. I will fill my whole house with flowers!
7. I will open a craft-shop
8. I will design my own house
9. I will buy an R2-D2 trashcan and a 101 other things from ThinkGeek.com!

And last but not least...

10. I will have TIME to do it all. Hell, I'll even have time for that vacation :)



I'll leave you with these beautiful flowers! If the lack of posting continues the upcoming days, I'll either be working my ass off or celebrating new found fortune :)

Let's hope for my sake it will be the latter ;)

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!!!

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!
