gotta love art

i've just been bombarded with lots of installation artists recently at uni

and then i went through my bookmarks of found stuff and saw this



and i still want to do it myself


because just how amazing does it look?!?


and what is it? seems like just magazine cutouts!


also this reminds me of a model of a city.
lots of little buildings, spaces of water, frames.


found on sweetfineday

and on a less cheesy note..

i've had this saved on my bookmarks for about a long time

I LOVE THE LAST ONE
especially because i'm the one with a hovercar :)

visit xkcd for more awesome comics

yes and yes

i've just discovered this wonderful blog called yes and yes.

sarah loves to give advice (especially about travelling and life) and quotes and inspiration and she's also got this section of interviews with people who have true stories to tell.
it's amazing.


one post that stuck out to me is this one..

my favourite is her last line
If you don't want to, you don't have to feel like you need to make excuses for living a life that works for you.

after every time i visit this site, i get all warm and gooey inside. :)

baking

but of course, FAKE baking.

these are two sets of goodies that went into the oven today.the donuts - we have chocolate, coffee (the lighter one with dark sprinkles) and vanilla with colourful sprinkles. yum!


and these are all pretzels. we have some savoury pretzels with salt - which turned translucent post-oven. and then there's half chocolate coated. and vanilla glazed (which are my favourite) and a failure at a cinnamon one. i got all the colours wrong and now it looks like chilli or something :)

but i am having a pretzel obsession and i really miss the store i used to get them from. they always had delicious, soft, warm pretzels. they had a collection of savoury but my favourite were the vanilla glazed. and little pretzel bites.
yummy pretzel bites! from bakingdom



which is why i spent a good deal of my day trawling through Bakingdom and drooling over her yummy photos. but most importantly, planning when i am going to try making some of my own pretzels. i had no idea it was so easy!


and i have the shape forming part down pat, as you can see from above :)
