Inspiration in Thailand

It’s a beautiful day here and I’m inside stuck in one of my last classes of the semester when I’d much rather be out on the lake – the lake referring to no lake in particular. So while tooling around the internetz I found this wonderful set on flickr by Ben.

Dissertation Blues – Life is so Hard

It’s almost to the time when I have to pick out a dissertation topic and quite frankly I’m not sure where I’m going…or more accurately I’m not sure what kind of pirate I want to be. So here’s my dilemma -
Right now my plan is to study historical piracy (Yes, pirates as in Arrrrrgh! Pirates). [...]

Craftiness: David the Gnome Eat Your Heart Out

I know it’s spring here in North America, but hey, it’s still cold in some parts of the world. One of the parts would be Upstate NY, but hopefully that will be changing in the very near future. Anyway, here are a few hats, 2 cotton and 1 made out of wool/rayon blend.
I really like [...]

In My Fairy Garden

Etsy has this great feature where it lets you make collages of various goods for sale, called treauries. Oh yeah, these treasuries are the collection of items that you see on the opening page.

Steampunk Love

How is it that I never knew what Steampunk was until recently? HOW? This style is amazing, and I think – no, I know – that I am in love. I think that this might be a style I can get into because it’s still quite practical. Although I love my stilettos, I live and [...]

My Little Cherry Blossom

Poor Lux. I told my mother that Lux was probably the only grandchild she was going to have for a while, so she better spoil her in the meantime. Well, this is the result. My little gargoyle showing her more feminine side. I have no doubt that she will end up with some severe mental [...]

Bohemian Inspiration

I’m not sure if anyone knows of eclectic gipsyland/Cécile of flickr, but I think she has created one of the most inspirational collection of photos around. Perhaps what is most exciting is that of the items pictured are from her own home or things that she has made.
