Little Ari

This photo was taken in 2009, in the lane way outside 

'Our Little-Big House' in the city (as Ari used to call it).

A Little-r Ari in his winter woolies. So cute and

how cute are those bunny mitts?!  Too small now :'(

I drew this picture in 2008 of Ari and his best friend Henri,

(who was one of my earliest toy creation).  I recently uploaded it

to my online portfolio of Art and Illustration... take a peek↓

Today, I turn Thirty-five!  WOW.  Ha?
It's a rather grey and gloomy sort of birthday day.
Typical for early June (and the beginning of Winter).

We're planning to brave the miserable cold front

and take a little trip into town, though. Yay!

I thought I'd write about this lovely maker's blog today,

my very first Etsy discovery and my birthday gift to you... 

The white rabbit, or rather... very cute and colourful bunny...

that I followed into the wonderland of Etsy.

You can visit the LeiLiLaLoo shop here.

A beautiful place to find inspiration

and glimpse an artist and mother at work.

If you're feeling grey, visiting this blog

is just like dancing in a rainbow ♥

shop love

How wonderful are these designs 

from teenytiny's new collection?

Swwoooon.  I'm in love!

These are a few of my...

favourite things.

Things that make me happy.

Things that I love.

Things that I'd love to own.

Things that I do own.

Things that I enjoy.

Things that I enjoy doing.

Things that I enjoy making.

Things that resonate with my sense of aesthetics.

At the moment I am loving... these textile designs by Hilde Reindl,

these beautiful vintage-inspired handmade clothes from Fleur + Dot

and the many beautiful children's rooms pinned here, here and here.

This week has just up and flown away. And what a busy one it was!

You can read a little bit about my week here...  if you so fancy. xoxo

it's easy and understandable 

our yearning for neatness & perfection

...give me the beauty of imperfection...

  

i want to live 

& hear the laughter in my soul 

at the sight of 

a cross-eyed cookie-crumbled 

chocolate-smeared snot-covered
