I finally got around to getting the sunshine print I made for Ronan’s nursery printed out at ArtsCow and realised that I’d made a silly error in my original print, and hadn’t left enough of a border for framing. Yeah, not my smartest move. I’ve uploaded the new files, with the space for framing to the original post, so please download them there. I’ve also added an additional version of the “Happy” print with the US spelling of “gray”, so [...]

Rebecca from Simple As That created a rainbow themed printable for St. Patricks day last year featuring words from 20th Century author Gilbert Chesterton, “Without the rain, there would be no rainbow”. Words to remember, and a print that you can display all year round – it would look awesome in a rainbow themed nursery!

(If you downloaded the original file, please read the edit at the bottom of the page!) Last night I made up some cute prints to put up in Hercules’ corner of our room, I had originally planned on doing just one, but whilst I was picking up some undies for the kids yesterday afternoon The Temptations came on the shopping centre music, and I had a flash of inspiration that I couldn’t let go of! So now we have two [...]

My eldest has a name that is rarely heard in Australia, we could go to Ireland and find ourselves overwhelmed with “Declan” merchandise, but we’re pretty much out of luck here. He treasures the facewasher and keyring that we’ve managed to pick up with his name on, but still scours gift shops and gets a little disappointed when his name isn’t there, it’s about ten times worse when he can find his brother’s name right off the bat. Growing up [...]

Brianna from Collected Blog has created this lovely typographic print featuring a quote from Peter Pan author, J. M. Barrie, perfect for brightening up the grey mornings we’re having at the moment! She also created the same print in a coral colour as well, incase the grey is just too wintery for you! Download both versions here.

I KNOW we’re not the only family obsessed with Rovio’s Angry Birds, even my two year old loves it (and has advanced further than me, which is disturbing in so many different ways) so I thought I’d share these kick ass Angry Bird printable toys from Little Plastic Man that you can download, print and make up yourself. Use them to decorate your cube or desk, or initiate war fare with an over-confident two year old, the choice is yours! [...]

This year is a big one for me, I’m still working on healing from the loss of our daughter and the resulting stresses and upsets of 2010, so I’m beginning this year with a fresh outlook on life and a desire to make it the most positive year I possibly can – and lets face it, after the last ten months, ANYTHING is going to seem positive! I love this new year printable from Lil’ Magoolie (Australian craft blog – [...]

risbane based artist Definatalie just linked me up to DailyDropCap.com, a fabulous new typography blog featuring (as you may have guessed) a different illustrative drop cap each day.

I love the vintage look of Lomography, and yet can’t bring myself to fork out money, for a camera (or “another toy” as my husband would refer to it!)  just because it takes some interesting looking pictures, particularly considering it took me almost two years to get the films printed from my wedding – who knows how long a roll of lomo film would have to wait! Lomographs are characterised by their grainy appearance, over saturated colours and funky exposures. [...]
