Sunday, August 15th, 2010I was looking for a sewing project to create a sunglass case for my clip-on sunnies but couldn’t find anything I really liked. Until I serendipitously came across this owl sunglass case at the Style Crush blog:
Cute, eh? Turns out that Amy had been inspired by the vintage projects on this page at Cathy of […]
It’s August already? When did that happen?
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010Every summer, it’s the same thing. I get overly ambitious and imagine that I’m going to do a metric tonne of work during the summer months, and towards the end of summer, I am always disappointed at how little I’ve managed to accomplish.
This year, I thought I’d have read at least 20 papers on trust […]

As it turned out, […]

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010No, I’m not talking about my new hair colour, although, to be honest, I am totally loving the purple I got yesterday:

I got my nose pierced
Monday, April 12th, 2010Saturday, I got my left nostril pierced:
This is for my upcoming 50th birthday. I did it now because piercings take a while to heal (although if I’d known it was going to take 2 months to heal, I would have done it even earlier).
One of the things that I firmly believe in is that human […]
