There are thousands of unread items in my Google Reader. I remember the days when I spent so much time on the internet that the count was always near to zero. Dreadful. I am so happy that those days are over, but of course it means that I am unable to keep up with daily updates. Sometimes I was thinking about getting one more person to write the blog but I gave up that idea. Entries may be random, but the blog stays mine!

I admit it, this was a typical thought you encounter while on the toilet. Let’s see how others are inspired by the restrooms!

This dress is entirely made out of toilet paper by Evan & Dean. The idea came from the canadian Cashmere company who sells – yes you guessed it right – toilet papers.  They’ve been inviting up and coming canadian fashion designers since 2004 to create beautiful dresses crafted from their toilet tissues.

Ever since my visit in September, I joined the group of avid New York fans. And even though pasta is not amongst my favourite (too many calories!) but it seems like the perfect souvenir!

It may not be 100% but still, quite impressive! Alex Creamer designed this packaging for a university projekt last year. “The spaghetti sits on a 3d model of the Chrysler Building that was modelled on CAD by my friend Ben Thorpe“.

I want this in production!

Hand embroidered, double layered t-shirts, shirts and hoodies from the amazing  UEG team. The projekt is a collaboration with Przemek Nowakowski polish screenwriter, using the words from The First Letter to the Corinthians.

Love is this.

I have to admit, even though I know I am not colourblind, I enjoz proving it through tests. It would be only natural to me to hang this clock up on my wall. Like that I could celebrate my non-colourblindness-ness every day.

The cutely named “The Clock I Can’t See” is the product of the british Sonodesign.

So what do YOU see?

Can you imagine two months without internet? I couldn’t either. But it happened to me. I have to admit, I spent my time well and productive. After the panic of the first few days I calmed down, didn’t look for wifi on every corner, I watched a lot of films, walked around a lot, slept early. I’ve been to London, Paris, Oslo, Madrid, and of course to Budapest a few times.  But this is the past. My internet is back, I have no more free time!

And what would be a better comeback post than this DIY lunchbox? This is exactly how I feel about my lunch. And about my breakfast too.

You can make it easily, just head over to Design Sponge for instructions!

I disappear now again for a few weeks for another trip, this time overseas. Back properly at the end of September!

I always loved those shops where there are mini shopping carts for the little ones. Daughters love to help their mums, especially at shopping. Like carrying the shopping bags.

This extremely sweet bags are the product of the german TISCH5.

It will be hard to talk about this without sounding stupid. I promise I was always good at physics, but this is that area that I was only amazed by, never really understood. And it was a long time ago. The older the stupider. Anyway. I love this.

Rhea Jeong korean designer made this record player that is operating with magnetic and auto-calibrating control. Don’t ask. In that little red sphere there is a needle, amplifier and speaker, and it spins around the record giving life to the music.

I am only hoping that this is really possible.

I was told I should post more often. It is a bit hard to do so when there is unusually nice weather in Ireland and my heart is thumping as well. But it is raining today, it is a day to stay in and be useful. So here you are.

I am still a big fan of balloon. Luckily there are some artists who make it possible for me to admire them even at this age.

I have to admit I put on many things as clothing, but I never thought of balloons before. Until now.

Daisy is a balloon artist fascinated by fashion, but not so much by sustainable design. Her creativity is amazing.

But these give me a few ideas…

When I was a kid I was always amazed by magicians. Especially by the act where they would cut someone up. I mean, when they wouldn’t really. And even though I find it hard to imagine a home where this would fit in, I could not resist this multipurpose closet!

Unfortunately this piece of furniture is only a concept yet by Rafael Morgan.

The Swan, whose name’s origin is not hard to guess, was born as a table lamp, but with years has grown into a big floor lamp we adore. The designer is the finnish Eero Aarnio.

During the past week I learned that laptops don’t like tea. Not at all. So excuse me for an other long hiatus, but I broke my good old loyal laptop. It is still very crippled. I may as well buy one of these!

Of course still only an idiot (and me) places a mug of tea next to the laptop, but it does look a little bit safer on a  lap desk. It is available in many different patterns.

I’m sure you all think that was it, the blog is gone, finished, caput. But fear not. We just took a long break to celebrate a 30th birthday.

And what a better way to return than with a very unusual juicer.

This UFO, diguised as a kitchen utensil is decorated with Space Invaders lookalikes and has a big weird alien sitting inside, serving as a juice reamer. Get it for 15 dollars.

Actually, it would still do.

I might be too picky this week, but nothing inspired me! Nothing, except this amazing dress. Maybe because my birthday is coming up, and I am looking for a new dress to celebrate it! Donations are very welcome!

The designer is Emily Ryan, whose Etsy shop simply takes our breath away!

Ok, that was me for the week, now I am going to lost myself in the joys of working through the weekend. You all have a nice one!

Finishing a good book is a bit sad. I always want to start it all over again straight away. Instead, I keep picking it up for another few days. What I would really like to do though is to stick it up on my wall so I can look at it any time. And why the hell not!

Whether you liked it too much or you love the artwork, show off your books with these “Totally Novel Picturebook Frames”!

It’s Easter. For me this is the time to eat lots of chocolate eggs, enjoy a few days off, enjoy spring and sunshine (not in Ireland though!), and it also means that all my friends are out of town. So I just sit at home and cook and bake. For example, with this.

Do you remember the  colouring wallpaper? This is the same, only better. Colour in your dress!

Berber Soepboer fashion designer and Michiel Schuurman graphic designer created together this colouring dress in 2008, but I love it black and white just as much. Beautiful design, beautiful pattern!
