Honestly

Sometimes I think I need to grow up a bit...

I mean, at my age!

But life's too short, right?

And I'm really, really having fun...

Small - Summer 10

Have you seen it? The brand new Summer 10 issue of Small Magazine is now online and is chock-full of wonderful finds.



I love these new-to-me "Peepwool" folks created by Amy Arnold and am thrilled to see Hattie Newman and Laura di Francesco's work get so much well-deserved attention (remember? I featured them here and here).
So, if you haven't already seen it, get yourself a drink, sit down and enjoy - it's summertime...
I think?

Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep

A nice, bright pattern to start the day!

I love this "Birdie" letterpress print by Amaranta Martinez, aka Piktorama.
You can buy it from the Working Press, whose work I've featured before, and 15% of the print will be donated to the Kids in Need Foundation.

The Mussukka

I'd like to introduce you to pig, bear and hedgehog, three little friends affectionately known as the Mussukka. They have their own blog, so we can find out what they're up to at home in Finland and follow them on their travels too. It's a busy life when you're a Mussukka!

These three little friends have acquired a taste for travelling and are ready to explore new shores. They've made themselves into some super-sweet cards

soft toys

and bags

hoping to fly off to homes around the world.

Tiring work though, all this travelling.

Better have a quick nap before they start!

Thank you Ritva!
