Magdalena Bors - or my second favorite photographer (after Husband). I love the scenes she's set up in some of these photos

I am drooling over these gorgeous pieces from Kyoko Hashimoto Jewellery. Not sure where to find her stuff for purchase on the web, but I LOVE IT!

Again - I have no idea where I found these lovelies on the web....

=): Yellena’s Blog

I'm getting bad about this, but I cannot for the life of me remember how I found this blog.

But Yellena's art is just gorgeous! I love the sea life feel of some of her paintings.

A wonderful collection of old stuff that is auctioned off on Ebay (some were won by the author, other not). I found several old fabric samples and just cool images from the past on this blog.

Including the one pictures below:



Original production sample of "Sea Things" fabric designed by Ray Eames. Schiffer Prints, 1951.

the Fat Quarter Shop's Blog, The Jolly Jabber, posted this great article on how the fabric printing process starts:

I'm hoping that Part 2 is posted soon!

ARGH! tech ignorance is so frustrating sometimes!

The method of production Apple appears to be using on their new MacBooks is not a new process or technique - computer controlled milling machines and laser cutters have been around for decades. I have a milling machine in my spare room that my husband bought over five years.

It's being touted as revolutionary AGAIN by the Macheads who refuse to do any research on the internet about the claims of their favorite company.

Anyway - see for yourself:

Apple's upcoming "Brick" is rumored to be a manufacturing process, not a product - Core77

I got my cards from her blog giveaway last night in the mail! Aren't they pretty?

This was Husband's grandmother's engagement ring. WAL and JHC are William (Bill) Lee and Johnsie Cunningham. A lot of history in those names and a lot of love in that ring.

It has tiny tiny diamonds around the outside. It such a beautiful and simple design I had to share.

Lizzy's done an interview about her color choices for Lizzy Dish here. Once you read her inspiration about for the color palette, you immediately see where she was coming from.

Interview from the lovely peeps at Quilts and Creativity.

I'm not sure where I found this one in my web wandering, but I really ike the paitings of every day objects and food this guy does.
