Fabric

I put my most recent ‘creation’ under Home Made.

It is made with fabric instead of paper, which means there are even more options to work with!

 

La France…

Autumn in France, lots of leaves, apples, mist, forest, wine and cheese.

What a great place to go!

 

By the way: only the left picture is of the garden…

The other pictures are taken in a foret, where we spotted some deer!

Purchase

…I bought a stool for my work area yesterday…

Not the most exiting bit of news, I’m sure, but since we were looking for something like this for a few weeks, I’m quite content…

Sunny Thursday

“Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.” ―George Burns

I get quotes emailed every day. Some are pretty funny, others give you food for thought.

What a sunny day today! I think I need to go out… and buy something! Yes I do!

This…

…or this…

Update…

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken”

—-Oscar Wilde

It’s been a busy week, with quite a bit of bookbinding work, regular work, attending a course on Tuesdays for work, cooking, cleaning and sorting stuff at home. And don’t forget sudoku.

I feel that all parts in my brain have been used these past two weeks!

Reading…

Level 26 by Anthony Zuiker.

Level 26

The book is accompanied by clips on a special website.

After every two chapters or so, you can type in a code on the site, and you will see a short scene.

In itself a great idea, but the first two clips I’ve seen are not well worked out at all!

The first clip was supposed to be an 8 mm film, made by the killer. But, you don’t get to see a first-person film, you get to see a scene which features the killer and a victim. And furthermore, the killer is not even filming himself in that scene! So there is no 8 mm film made at all, is there?

I’m not going to bother mentioning my complaint about the second clip. First I will watch the third one and see whether that is any better.

What I don’t like is that on the back of the book there is already a mention of book two and three in this series. Looks like the killer is going to be around for two more books (spoiler!) and also, it is a bit presumptuous of the author/publisher.

But that’s just my humble opinion…

Quote, and Sandokan

Read a quote yesterday, but couldn’t recall it properly today, so here it is:

If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older

by Tom Stoppard

***

We watched half an hour of a dvd of the series Sandokan today. I have very old memories of this series, but thirty minutes was very difficult to watch, and it wasn’t even a third of the episode! The pace was soooo slow! And it was in Italian (?), which I didn’t remember, but hey, I’m sure I didn’t recognize any foreign language at that age. But Sandokan was an impressive man, I did remember that.

Update

After the summer break I am picking up my pace with making new items.

I have a few ideas for new creations, and if anyone has suggestions, please let me know!

I put two new items under home made, a book and a box, hopefully more will follow soon…

This is a great clip, I have seen it ages ago, but thought it was so original that I should put it up.

Santogold

Did a lot of cleaning up today, both (!) my worksurfaces. Feel very organized and tidy …

All filed now

Yum

I like just about all tomatoes, and today I couldn’t resist these at the market on the corner from work…

Reading:

Beryl Bainbridge – Injury Time

Just finished…

Just finished: Bericht vanaf de Plank by Kerbaker.

Biography of a book, describing a phase in the life of a book, watching from the shelf in an antiquarian bookshop to see whether a customer is going to take him home… or not.

Very original!

—————————————

Also finished: Ignore Everybody.

Gave me a few pointers.

——————————————————————————————————-

Almost finished: my extra room! Did I say ‘my’? Ofcourse I mean ‘our’…

Watched this interaction between William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy on youtube, taped during a convention. Very funny.

is this link better?
