On Sunday, our church is having a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party for Mothers’ Day. I don’t have a hat for it (especially not a mad one!), but if I did, I would like it to be some sort of steampunk…
I quite like this one..
…. although it’s supposed to be a witch’s hat… has any witch ever really worn this style hat?
My preference would be for a top hat…. here are my favourites 😀
A Mad Hatter Hat!
… and, to finish off, a Tardis Steampunk Top Hat!
Because top hats are cool.
Just had a look at a TED talk –
Perhaps not “change the world”, as such, but maybe change our perspective of the world (and thereby help us to change the world)?
I’ve heard about TED talks (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design), but never really had a proper look… I will check it out now…
There seem to be a variety of subjects from a variety of perspectives… a teensy bit of language in the above clip, if that worries you… so possibly check out talks if you’re showing them to the kids 😀
Here’s the link for the talks…
Here’s the link for the Art Project from the above clip…
My Mum told me about this today, so I looked it up… it’s from a show called Grand Designs (or Grand Designs Revisited)
It’s a house made from materials from the surrounding woodland (a place called Prickly Nut Woods 😀 ) …
Here’s some more information…
😀
Pinata cookies!
Rainy Day Cake!
Honeycomb Sugar Cookie!
Macaron Hearts!
Fading Roses Cake!
Hibiscus Tea Cookies!
Have a sweet week 😀
…or down! 😀
I’ve been looking at painted stairs… one day, when I have a flight of stairs to call my own, I want to decorate them in some meaningful way…
Stairs get you where you’re going. They ease the transition from one level to another. Maybe even raise your consciousness! (ha)
Here are some stairs to lift your spirits 😀
These are slightly angelic/ethereal… you could float up the stairs!
Smile! Big!
Understated, but eyecatching…
Hello! I love you!
Um. Wow.
😀
… possibly a close-up?
Doesn’t this look like a waterfall?
… and here’s a pink version..
Library stairs?
Gorgeous! 😀
Some tiled stairs…
Wow!
Go forth.
..and glitter!
😀
I love miniatures. The skill involved with making them is amazing….
These are… jawdropping…
The artist’s name is Dalton Ghetti… you can go to his site and buy postcards of his work… 😀
Brain Hemisphere Hat made of paper.
– We have got to do this, when our printer is working again!
Then we shall all go out and wear them in public… 😀
This is how you create a Teddy Bear from a sock | The Meta Picture.
Could be useful for some cuddlies for the Operation Christmas Child boxes later on in the year… 😀
There was nothing to do
There was not much to say
The Grumpies were grumping
On this dark, wet, wet day.
Then Grumpy Mum leapt
To the doorway, and through
“Let us go to the shops-
Get up, Grump One and Two!”
So they trailed through the drizzle
To the Centre nearby
And with nary a grizzle
Came upon – Market Day!
There were sights, sounds and prizes
At the suburban Fair
Blessings of all sizes
For the Grumpies to share…
First they lined up for burgers
Free at Mos-burgers’ beginning
With buns made of rice,
Tender beef – they were winning!
Old friends were sighted
Waved “Hello, How’d-ye-do!”
As littlest Grump
Enjoyed the petting zoo.
And last but not least
There was a free raffle
The Grumps got their tickets
To see what they could snaffle.
On the last of the spins
Big Grump won a treasure –
The pink, nesting boxes didn’t thrill him,
But the chocolate gave him pleasure!
And so, they walked home,
Tumbled through their front door..
Still a wet, dreary day,
But Grumpy no more!
The End
😀

At the end of that tale,
I respect Dr Seuss
Sometimes, to find rhymes
You must use words abstruse!
a bit of creativity, a bit of eco consciousness, a bit of inspiration.... hopefully not a lot of pompousness and blathering :D
i'm not entirely sure what's going on here... let's travel along and see...
