things that matter

I love going back to my parents. It's always a reminder of things which really matter in life. Time spent together, time given to each other, simple things in life which really makes the difference and at the end of the day moments we will always remember. Anya spent the whole Easter break there this time, and I stayed at the beginning and the end of her trip. She loved it. Most of all, the time my parents gave her, making and doing things together. Every morning she played with my dad a game with a couple of plastic figurines from their old printers box. 3 tiny toys, 1.5 hour talking and playing, she din't need anything else. No toys, no TV, just the two them talking.

sissy + marley

Very pretty nursery with striped ceiling from sissy + marley found here. 

can you help?

Can you help please? we have sold out this poster last year, but since then we had loads of people asking for it. So we decided to change the font and colours a bit and make it again. BUT we can't decide what version to use. Can you help us to decide?

exploring art

Last week I went to pick A. up from my parents in Czech and spent couple of days in Prague with my sister. She lives just around the corner from museum of modern art DOX. I  enjoy taking A. to galleries, although some people might say it can't be  interesting for 4 year old, I think that even a little memory can form us and can effect how we think and live later in life. And I really like the gallery motto as well: 

"In an age when growing numbers of people tend to think dangerously alike, art´s capacity to suspend, even for a moment, our habitual ways of seeing may well prove to be of its greatest value. "

exhibitions etc.

As we are spending this weekend without our family and at home I have managed to do loads of stuff. Finished some DIY projects, went to see two exhibitions, few dinners, a concert and so far done two longer runs as well. And yeh...I cut my middle finger quite badly...
Today I went to V&A, to see British Design 1948-2012, I'm not a massive retro fan, but it was great to see how British design evolved and really how for the last 20 years it seems to me we are only tweaking and changing things that have already been done before. I personally like the late 50s and 60s fashion and design the most. Skinny trousers and minidresses, simple lines, to me it all looked quite cool and I can see myself wearing and living in it. And although I'm not into cars at all I massively admired Jaguar E type, which was there as well,  seriously beautiful car.

Afterwards I went to National Portrait Gallery to Lucien Freud exhibition (top left). I used to paint and strong strokes and confidence in his paintings made me feel that I would love to start again. I prefer his earlier work, less dramatic and in all honesty less big naked ladies. On a way back I read Elle Deco where I came across Sonia Rykiel new fabric  (top right) for the second time this week, and I like it a lot....

do something fun this weekend!

happy easter

Thank you all for your birthday wishes, we had a great time with my family. Went away for the weekend to a lovely old spa town, walked and talked a lot. I was planning to show you some photos, but left my usb cable at my parents house so has to pick it up next week. I left A. with them for another week as she is on Easter holiday, and flying back on Wednesday to pick her up. I'm planning to do loads of diy, finish few projects and spent some time with M. Tonight we are going to Camden to see first bigger gig of my step son. Ah...to be 18 again:) ....Have a lovely Easter weekend! I will be back with a giveaway and hopefully some finished projects to share next week.

This time spring wedding in pink & mint. I would love to wear that dress one day! and have the tape ring, and bake that cake, and make the fabric pin board and paper party bag.....

What about huge photos of bride and groom stuck on a wall? a fabric board with messages for a wedding couple? Tape ring with the date of the wedding instead of the real measurements? wallpaper hanging from the ceiling as a background for photos?
