Monday's Milk & Fabrics' Soft Toy Giveaway

I'd like you to meet Riik, what a stunner with his stripes so bold and blue,

He's also very shy, yes, a wallflower you might say,

Won't say a word unless he really has to,

Bows his head, mumbles and turns away.

Arno, on the other hand, has lines, well, up and down,

A beady eye, young Arno, a nice smile to boot,

But a chatterbox, a busybody-fusspot, who makes R frown

Then laugh - He can be quite a hoot!

Inseparable, I'd say,

Ying & Yang

Throw your name in the hat

Try and win them if you can...

Rozalinde Innemee loves sewing and stories. Can you tell?
Just imagine your little ones' adventures with Arno and Riik!

Take a peek at Monday's Milk and you will find a selection of modern designs and fabric as fun and as fresh as the name she has chosen for her Dutch company.

Cat Hats

Cloud Catcher Name Flags

Baby Quilts

If you would like a chance to win Arno The Anteater and Riik The Rhino, both generously offered by Rozalinde from Monday's Milk & Fabrics:

1) Leave me a comment below (making sure to leave me an email address)

2) Spread the news via twitter, facebook or any other means if you'd like two names in the hat (make sure you let me know).

This giveaway runs until Wednesday 11th May at 6 pm, CET

I will announce the winner the same evening.

Good Luck!

Help! It's a C, C, C, Casaurus!

I challenge thee to find a kid who doesn't like dinosaurs! Well, I'm joking, obviously, I bet quite few don't, or grow out of the dino phase very quickly (my sister was surprised to learn in the orphanage where she was working in Uganda thay nobody had any idea what these strange animals were...).

My eldest son Dylan was mad about dinosaurs for years, and would have absolutely adored design student Koichiro Hoshino's Casaurus, a dinosaur-themed bookshelf / playground, designed for his senior thesis at Tokyo University of Arts.

I really love this book tree, but I have to admit that a dinosaur bookcase that you can actually climb on, slide down and play inside with all your friends, well, wow, that looks FUN and sure must take some beating!
