uppercase magazine

Uppercase :
by far the best magazine I've seen in ages!

mental note

Sometimes you need to write it down.

must-see-monday: the prettiest band posters

All cool bands should have a poster designed by The Small Stakes.

Oh so pretty! 

I can't stop looking at them.

weekly happy stats

No, I couldn't think of anything else than soy yoghurt :)

This weekend will be sunny and warm for the first time this year, but I'm afraid I'm glued to my computer most of the time. I have this big homework assignment and sadly I'm nowhere near finished. Also I have some pretty busy days ahead, a presentation and something I'm nervous about at work, blah. So please Thursday, come quickly!

Almost forgot, but this week I had a nice feature here and here, and a blog award from her. Thanks!

crafting your way to the top

Look, this book will lead me to a mamutopia imperium :)

I received it as a birthday gift,
but I still haven't sat down to read it properly.

Ah well, at least I've photographed it, that's a start!

Does anyone have this book?

my creative journal

I almost forgot how fun it is to paint, cut, glue and write!

Maybe it would also be nice to share pages 

from my journal every now and then.

must-see-monday: re-introduction

A while ago I quit my must-see-monday series. I'm not sure why I exactly decided to do so, maybe it was a lack of time, inspiration or just change of plans. But last night when I couldn't sleep this weekly feature popped up in my head again, I realized I missed it and in the morning I was sure: I'll re-introduce it! So from now on I'll (try to!) feature a must-see every week.

I'll start with Lola's Room Photography: an etsy shop full of photographs made by Cassia Beck. Just looking at these pictures makes me smile. I love this style!

This sunday

I'm still facing my huge to-do list

but also noticed this plant looks like a jungle!

Well, sort of...

weekly happy stats : a very strange dream

Good morning!

Yep, number 5 is a bit strange, but it really did happen: I dreamt about an octopus in my bedroom and when I woke up I really thought there was one somewhere near... I was about to make my boyfriend go search with me when I realized it was just a dream. Pfew, I was SO scared :D

Anyway it's weekend! What are you going to do? My weekend will be fully devoted to creativity I think (I hope). I have a big homework assignment for my graphic design class, want to make a moodboard, practice photography, work on mamutopia etc. etc. But first I'll go swimming, do my groceries and make my huge to-do list so I won't forget anything!

Oh and something else: I noticed other people are doing happy stats too and of course that's fine. Feel free to play along! Artmind's Mitsy (check out her blog too!) suggested I should use Mr Linky to keep track of all the stats. To be honest I'm not a fan of these features as I want my blog as clean as possible :) Ah well, I'll see, maybe next week?

Happy weekend!

And thanks for the comments on my calender... much appreciated :)

versatile tape

My tape collection turned out to be a good subject for practicing my photography. Blurry in the front, blurry in the back.

is it almost 2011?

Already for next year!

No just kidding, it was part of my homework. 

Teacher didn't like it....it was too 'simple'.

I don't get it, what's wrong with simple?!

Don't forget to look over here!

Happy Easter!

Hello april and hello birthday!

Every year the night before my birthday I can't sleep... 

Getting older doesn't make sense, I'm still excited.

Today I have the whole day off and I'll spend it with my love <3

We made an apple pie (it's in the oven, I can smell it!) 

and later we'll just do whatever we want to, hooray.

* a piece of apple pie for everyone! *

is it easter yet?

This bunny couldn't wait for Easter, 

he already popped up!
