You are no doubt familiar with the beautiful, intricate works of Jonathan Chapman aka Mr Yen. But did you know how easy it is to grab a piece of his papercut art for yourself, or someone else.

Chapman, a paper cut artist and designer based in Leeds, UK, has worked with the like of Oprah and House and Garden magazine and stocks his work, including cards and lace art on his website.

You can even inquire about your own custom design. What a great gift for someone special.

Because you can only add so many blogs to your reader, I thought I’d revisit a few favourites today with some posts that I’ve bookmarked for later reading, reminding and responding. These in particular come from the starred folder in my Google Reader [I'm can't give it up yet, still living in denial].

  1. Julie [tractorgirl] promised me her ciabatta recipe and this week she delivered. Can’t wait to try it this weekend.
  2. Love Bri’s [designlovefest] advice on thinking of original ideas
  3. Watching Susannah [ink on my fingers] talk about your finding your way online. “Forget the wisdom.” Such great advice.
  4. Yummm ~ espresso mini muffins with chocolate ganache [tasty kitchen]
  5. Thinking about starting a productivity journal [time management ninja]

PS. You’ll have to excuse my tardiness today, have been investigating the new flickr ~ have you checked it out?

I’m reminded today of the importance of time.

Of time well spent.

Today I’m off to a funeral, the second I’ve attended in about six weeks. Two very different situations and people, one perhaps time well spent, one robbed of time.

But in the end, we would all love a few more minutes of time.

A reminder to spend your time well this week.

autumn

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus

Oh autumn how I love thee.

They are running a little late this year but all the leaves are just starting their fiery array of colours and I keep encountering scenes like this on my daily travels.

This road I travel every day and heading home one morning, the street was deserted and I just had to stop and take a snap with my phone.

It’s such a gorgeous time of year.

And we plan to get out and take photos, with the boys, as we join in the little sideklick project.
