Please come back to my habitat!!

I was really disappointed last year when the doors of Habitat in Ireland were shut, especially since we didn't have are house yet. I really really hope they will return again one day when everything picks up again.

Kitchen Dreams

Since my very first post to this blog i have talking about our plans to do up our somewhat 'quirky' kitchen...'quirky' makes it sound cool and interesting...its not...its awkward and disfunctional!!! Hopefully we will be able to finally get started this summer. I want to plan as much as i can in advance so i'm not faffing about indecisively when its finally time to get going. So until then i will continue to happily hunt for ideas. Here is a few that caught my eye for different reasons from http://www.idealhomemagazine.co.uk/.

Save the Thread

Today i read this piece from Jan of Poppytalk about an appeal for 'Save the Thread'.

"The handmade community is joining together to help a Virginia-based artist get her studio up and running again after she suffered a fire in her studio/handmade goods shop a few months ago. A site, Save the Thread (led by Design for Mankind) has been established to help raise funds to help Angelina of Red Thread Studio get her shop back in order (you can read more about the fire here). Artists like Lisa Solomon and Will Bryant (to name a few) are contributing works along with a donation tier system has been set up which you can read more about here. If you are an artist and wish to consider helping out or you're a blog and want to pass the good information on, or you'd wish to make a donation visit savetheredthread.blogspot.com for more info."
