Tadaaah: a very colourful harddisk cover :)

About a year ago my computer 'died' - twice. I did not have any backups, so I was VERY happy when it was revived by the computer-doctors on both occasions!! Flash forward to the present, and I have made backups of my files and photographs... on a four year old iPod I drag with me EVERYWHERE.........

Not good, you say? I completely agree...

So - finally! - I got myself some proper backup-equipment: a Western Digital portable harddrive!



Amazing to think this little device can store almost 500GB, isn't it?!!

Of course, considering this is now containing some Very Important Stuff, it needs to be properly protected.

So... TADAAAAAAAAH!!!



A very colourful, very cute, crocheted harddisk cover :)



I absolutely LOVE all the bright colours! 'Cause hey, when you almost need to wear sunglasses to look at it...



... you KNOW it's good, don't you? ;)

I don't know what to love more: the owl-bag or the blue, dotted socks :)

Pin of the Day: The Comfort Pocket Box

Amazingly sweet idea by Kim's Little Monsters over at Etsy :)

Finished reading: American Gods

This book has been standing in my bookcase for ages, and I must admit: by page 10 I feared this wasn't my cup of tea...

But I read on...



... and about 600 pages later I'm happy to say that it grew on me ;) I was initially annoyed by the state of detachment in which Shadow, the protagonist, lived through the events, but when I realized that it wasn't a writing flaw but the essence of the character, I kind of came to love him for it ;)

So yes, I'm happy I finally read this book. Also: HBO is adapting this book into a series, so I'm already looking forward to seeing this story come to life on screen, and - of course ;) - comparing it to the book!!

Pin of the Day: Eames chair :)

Since I'm still over at Pinterest pinning the whole, entire internets, I thought I might as well start sharing some pins over here!

So, my pin of the day is...

... a wonderful, simple workspace by the window...

... which makes me want to own this Eames chair :)

Oops, I did it again...

Buying fabric that is :)

But can you blame me?!



I stumbled upon My Fabric House the other day, and simply could not resist all the happy colours!!



Their prints are amazing...



... and the buttons are so cute!



But what really made me order all of this?

...



They were selling FIFI LAPIN FABRIC!!!!



Now come on... How could I resist that?!?! :)
