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?

  4. What New York would look like on the surface of other planets
  5. For word nerds [like me] ~ Lexican / via present and correct
  6. Shots of abandoned Stars Wars film sets

And if you missed the eclipse the other day:

Tragic news // 

You may have already heard the sad news of the sudden passing of whipup founder and blogger Kathreen Ricketson and her partner Rob during their dream trip around Australia with their two children. I did not know Kathreen personally but certainly knew of her amazing work. My heart aches for their family and friends. A trust has been set up for the couple’s young children. You can donate here.

  1. The story of Crayola on design*sponge [I too am a fan ~ see here and here]
  2. Start the day on the right note with the “good mornings” site
  3. A hand mixer made of Lego
  4. The story of this award-winning polar bear photo ~ taken by a dentist!
  5. Fantastical worlds
  6. Bookmark! 10 shortcuts for better cooking
  7. Famed dances from the big screen illustrated
  8. And how Sesame Street got its name. 1-2-3 Avenue B doesn’t have the same ring to it.

From next week the smallest starts guitar lessons. So this beautiful short seemed appropriate today.

The Art of Making, Alma Flamenca from Deep Green Sea

Last time I asked you to tell me who was in your neighbourhood, and tell me some of your favourite blogs. And now I have some new addresses to explore.

So first up, no surprises why I was drawn to Melissa’s suggestion Carla Coulson from Carla Loves Photography. One, photography, and two, Melissa had great things to say about her.

Carla Coulson is living the dream ~ making the switch to full-time photographer, travelling and now living in Paris.

Now she runs workshops, does portrait sessions and magazine work, and sells some of prints in her shop [you can see some of them above]. And blogs.

She also has a fantastic blogroll which I look forward to making my way through as well.
