… and dragon flies.
I found several things this week that used dandelions and dragonflies as part of the artwork. It made me realise how much I am drawn to them. They are wonderfully intricate while appearing so simple.
Mother Nature really is the best designer!

Rebecca over at Edward and Lilly is giving away these lovely brooches as well as gorgeous crafty pack. All you have to do is drop in and leave a comment here.
I am loving this brooches for their sheer simplicity. Aren’t they beautiful. More in her etsy and madeit shops.
Disclaimer: Yes, I am going after an extra entry in the giveaway by blogging about it!
The celebrations continue at 74 Lime Lane this week ~ more baking, more cooking, more creating. Today, well and most of this week, I am and will be playing with these lovely new toys, which are a birthday present (to myself with a help from my parents).
Here is my lovely new fixed lens and a proper flash. I also picked up a much-needed spare battery and a nifty little diffuser thingy that goes over my on-camera flash.
Also here are some tags I am using for a photo to mark my own 365 project ~ taking a photo a day. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time but, liking things in order, I needed that perfect date to start and my upcoming birthday on Saturday seems like the ideal time to start.
Plus cookbooks to plan a dinner party we are having this weekend and my trusty list book.
Now I just need more time in the day to spend taking photos.
See more creative spaces over at Kirsty’s here.
Yes the movie is a year old and yes this has been around for a while but hey, I only just found it. And I know my kids would love it – wall-e papercraft. So much better than just buying one at your local department store.
There are two versions ~ the initial one and then the one the purists wanted. You might need some engineering nous to make it happen.

I love the art of trompe l’oeil, especially the more classic varieties used in home decor like below, but this mural by artist John Pugh is amazing. A-mazing. Even the woman peering into the ruins ~ not real. All part of the illusion. You can see more of his work over here. (via twitter)
