Breathing is Dangerous

Well, it’s bound to be. Or else, it’s not dangerous per se (annoying phrase and possibly miss-spelled but I’m too tired to think of another one) but ’studies’ somewhere, at some point, will show that too much of it (breathing), or doing it in a manner other than a technique prescribed by experts and approved of by [...]

Another classic blog post from Miss Doxie

Miss Doxie doesn’t write on her blog that often these days but posts like Cookie and the Geese make the wait so worthwhile.

Mechanical Elephants

I don’t suppose you spend much time thinking about mechanical elephants; I can’t say the subject would figure among my first waking thoughts, either.  But — according to the *I’m Learning to Share blog — Britain could be considered the birthplace  of the mechanical elephant. Not only that — but the late and supposedly great (I don’t [...]

Elf Rain

This photograph is from Elf: a Photoblog. I love it.
I love rain — especially when it’s really bucketing down. Rain makes me feel even more alive than usual — must be a scientific explanation for that, electricity in the air or something like it. I’d look it up but I can’t be bothered just now. [...]

Best Blogs: Blue Tea

I don’t know why I haven’t mentioned this before — but Blue Tea is one of my favourite art and design related blogs. It’s full of weird, wonderful and obscure links and it is where I found Crummy Church Signs and Kitty Wigs (via the Geekologie link).

Best Blogs: Dad Gone Mad and Miss Doxie

I’d forgotten about my Best Blogs category and to be quite honest I think I’m reluctant to single out blogs here, as I have so very many favourites. So if you’re mentioned here consider yourself honoured and very special. I have to write this post fairly quickly, as I want to get everything done before [...]

Stitchy McYarnpants is up for a Webby!

It’s true, Stitchy McYarnpants from The Museum of Kitschy Stitches has been nominated for a Webby. Remember her Christmas Craptacular? You must, because I wrote about it here ages ago and I know you hang on to my every word.
I’ve just voted for her on the People’s Voice  site AND I left a comment on Stitchy’s [...]

Best Blogs: DrWhose is at it again!

I’m supposed to be going out in about two seconds but I’m dropping (practically) everything to point you to the Hat’s Off post by Mark Freeland at DrWhose. It has been said (by me) that I’m obsessed by DrWhose and I’m not even denying it.
