Right, that's it. I need to sell most of my stuff, buy a field and an egg-shaped house and live happily ever after. (Although if that red bucket is the only hygiene available, I may re-think this plan).
This little pod has a sleekness and simplicity that I find both beguiling and delightful: no ratty printer cables, spare batteries and phone bills that are in my "can't throw out but don't know what to do with in the meantime" category.

Woolly Friends
These sheep just make me giggle. I loved those sorts of phones deeply - where are they now?!

Crayola's Law: Colour Spectra
This graph demonstrates Crayola's Law: the number of colours in crayon packs is doubling every 28 years. I wonder what our grandkids will draw with?!
I have been very taken recently with interesting graphs that look striking, too. I bought this incredibly good book, The Visual Miscellaneum, by David McCandless for the Pal for Christmas - it's so beautiful and informative: I'm smitten with it. You should have a look at David's blog, and Flickr, too for some visual stunners.

Big Ticket Wall Art
Loving this blown up Tokyo subway ticket in Donna Zimbardi's home: it's by Marcel Cousins and I dream of one in a Paris Metro purple... And let's be honest, of the orange Tokyo one, too...

New Fabric Longing
Despite not being able to do any crafty bits and pieces this year (what's happening?!) and despite having at least two quilts on the go, I keep finding delightful fabrics which float around my head like pretty alternatives to work and editing.
It's nice to take a few moments out from work and think about pretty futures.
First image from Fresh and the last two images from Kelani Fabric.

Cozy Chairs
These sort of freak me out. But I still kinda love them!

Hunter Valley
Some shots from the Hunter Valley. These wallabies came near our villa as evening fell on the last night - the one on the right has a joey in her pouch!
Very green and relaxing - a lovely way to spend the week with the Pal.

New Watch for Christmas!
I have been looking for a new watch for about two years now, and finally stumbled on this a few months ago. It's called 'Cyclops' and it's from Mr Jones Watches, who have some amazing timepieces. As you can see, it has no numbers or hands (!!): the black circle tells the time in relation to the coloured circles. When it's over the circle, it's on the hour - when it's in between two circles, it's half-past the hour.
I was so excited to open this on Christmas day - my Mum and Dad gave it to me and I have had so much fun wearing it already.

Chopping Boards: Fine Little Day
The lovely Emma put me onto these adorable chopping boards from Fine Little Day - how delicious would food look served up on these? (My favourite is the fruit and vegies one down below!)

Oman
Sunset, looking over the hotel's private beach.
Well, I'm home after a few weeks of different adventures, and despite the heat, it's so nice to be back!
Oman was a crazy and very surreal trip: I was only away for a week and so only got a small taste of the country, but it was just long enough for my head to believe I was away from my thesis. Hurrah! Spent some glorious time pool-side, which felt like a dream. For some more of my photos, have a look at my Flickr stream.
Will post some more photos of my last week in the Hunter Valley over the next few days!
