I’ve been thinking about when I will break the silence, but there is no special reason why it is happening today and not six weeks ago or two weeks from now on. Maybe it is because I am sitting in my cozy room while it is raining outside, and I am just back from a lovely dinner with friends and then I looked at these plates and thought: woah!

Now look at it again.

Amazing. The ‘Rose from Weimar’ was designed by Dirk Kels. More can be found here.

It is bloody freezing out there, all I want to do is hide under my duvet with a hot cuppa. Tea or coffee, or if you are like me, hot choc – it doesn’t matter as long as there is a comforting biscuit with it.
Of course, festive style.

I need new inspiration! What are your favourite blogs? Favourite new sites? The newer the better! I feel my resources are a bit old now.

Of course, some bizarre things always appear in my reader. Like a fly that makes your soup tastier.

No worries, this is not a real fly, but a fly-shaped pepper by taiwanese Balance Wu and Chin Yang at Ahead Create.

Bon appetit!

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!
