We’ve sucessfully grown our own courgettes in our small back garden. We’ve enjoyed about 4 so far.
Darwin and I went to visit the local horsey field and I picked a bag full of blackberries whilst he observed in the sling. It felt a bit like “extreme babywearing” as I had to dodge all the brambles as they seemed to be at Darwin head level.
This is what happens when your baby-led weaning baby eats blackberries. He didn’t seem to mind their sharp taste, I had to hide mine in icecream.
I have a new fetish – japanese washi tape. I’ve always had a thing for stationery, in particular Japanese stationery. Washi tape is a masking tape that comes in a range of colours and patterns – stripes, polka dots, grids or plain . It is easy to tear by hand, write on and doesn’t leave any tackiness behind after removal and can even be used again and again. Washi tape is translucent making it pefect for layering. It is ideal for colour coding, labelling, gift wrapping and collages. You can buy rolls and rolls of it on etsy and also at happy tape, cute tape. paper nation. This collector’s guide is for hardcore fans.
So apart from looking at it what can you do with it? Here are my favourites:
Gift tag seen at A Spoonful of Sugar
Masking tape garland from Picnic
Stitched bunting invites seen at Mermag
Mini bunting tutorial at The Red Thread blog
Twist tie seen at Zakka Life
Pretty frames seen at Decor8
There we go, a brand new spanking look for the site. Mucho thanks to Mr C for his photoshop skilz and pugly pixel for the scallop and tape images used on the banner.
