Working hard? No, hardly working! ;)
An exerpt from a site I recently found called “Things my boyfriend says“:“You shouldn’t buy me things. Save your money for unicorn rides or whatever it is girls spend money on.”
If you’re looking for a little humourous reading to break up the work day, go here. :)
Oooh stickers!
When I was a kid, I collected stickers. There were scratch n’ sniff stickers (OK, so there is a wikipedia entry for just about anything…), puffy stickers, stickers with googly eyes — you name’em and I had them. I’m not even sure what the appeal was, but it just was.
Well, now to satisfy [...]
Art of the Business Card
If you’re looking for inspiration in the design of your own business card, or just want to go looking at some good examples of well thought-out, graphic design, take a look at this Flickr Group: Art of the Business Card.
There are over 500 images of different business cards. Most of them go beyond the [...]
And the Award Goes to… an Award?
While browsing through the latest I.D. Annual Design Review, I was stopped by a photo of this beautiful, pointy object (page 103 for those who have access to the annual).
The shiny pyramid turned out to be the Vilcek trophy given annually to American immigrants who have made a lasting contributions in the arts and [...]
Are you going to BlogHer?
BlogHer is this big consortium of women bloggers, and every year, there’s a conference where all the women bloggers meet up. This year, Cool Mom Picks is putting on The Great BlogHer Photo Scavenger Hunt.
What does this have to do with us here at Blend Creations? Well, you (and your partner, if [...]
Indie baby
I’m sure other parents of young children will agree that anything that you can do to help your child sleep and stay sleeping is worth it. We follow a routine of bath, stories (yay for Sandra Boynton!) and into bed where the bed part involves having a projection mobile overhead, a fan, and this:

Addictions of the edible variety
I’ve never written about anything edible in this blog, because first off, I’m not really much of a cook. I enjoy really good food, but I don’t think I can actually make really good food. Maybe just ‘okay’ food. I believe this is because it’s impossible for me to ever attain the [...]
Of houses and wanting change
In a week, we’ll have lived in our house for one year. This time last year, I was heavily pregnant, so we were happy to find a house where we could move in and not have to do much to make it liveable. Oh how things change in a year. It’s not that [...]
The Beauty Within
I’ve been very negligent with the whole blogging thing. I’ve been leaving it all up to my better half. Once in awhile I would send her links to cool stuff, but that’s been pretty much the extent of my involvement. Well there’s no turning back now…
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all someone shows [...]
Beyond just a folding chair
I can’t remember where I found this originally, but I did think it was cool enough at the time to bookmark it.
This is definitely a design I’d like to see up close and personally.
P.S. Happy fourth of July to our American friends!
