Hello!

This sculpture combines three things I love: handmade, birds, and type. Wish I had extra money for this right now!

I wish I had an Etsy budget each month, but until then....

Hi 5!

I don't want to jinx anything but the cramps have subsided! I still feel all weird in my tummy, but at least I'm not doubled over with cramps. And thankfully, I don't have any dizzy spells. I ventured out today without any mishaps. Phew.

Now I just need to work on my heart and everything will be much better.

High five? High five!

Cozy

I'm a terrible sick person. After a certain point of being at home, the novelty of not being at work has worn off*. I keep thinking that I should be doing something, which means I haven't been doing a lot of lying around.

I keep getting up to do different things and I underestimated the side effects of my medication. Dizzy and disoriented, I fell in the bathroom and hit the tub hard. I have a small gash and an incredibly sore and tender hip. Definitely not my best moment.

So I am staying horizontal. No more thinking that I should be doing something. No more getting up. I am writing from a laptop in bed.

Which is a very long-winded introduction to this lovely bedroom. That bed looks so inviting and that chandelier, phew! Maybe if I had this bed, I would have stayed put in the first place!

*Although I must say that I am never really far from work. My workaholic nature means I check my work email compulsively. I know, bad me.

First I had a cold, then terrible stomach pains. After self-diagnosing myself with Google (yes, I know, don't say it), I dragged myself to the walk-in clinic to find out that I have an intestinal infection which mimics appendicitis. Bleh.

I'm not a very good sick person. So I need to spend more time searching out the lovely little tidbits out there. Starting with this lovely laser cut alphabet piece. Beautiful!

Children's Drawings come to Life

This Korean project took children's drawings and turned them into professional shot photos. The photos don't copy the drawings exactly, but it still works brilliantly. I wonder what the children thought with the final result?

When Grown Men Cry

What do grown men look like when they cry? Photographer Sam Taylor-Wood photographed some of Hollywood's leading film actors who shed some tears. Click the link to see more photos of famous men.

"Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult, said Taylor-Wood. "People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It's about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side."
