What could make today any better? The postman this morning delivered not only an advent calendar from the World’s Best Mum but my fabric from America ready for pillowcases on sale next Sunday at the Cheap Affair!! I also shared a nice cup of coffee with the super kind Ady Bibby of True North and when I returned home with wet feet my spectacular other half had conquered the objectionable and loathsome shelf which has taken a shameful place on the floor of my studio for over two months. It’s now happily attached to the wall, above my desk, supporting my expensive camera… Go shelf go!!
Not only have I a new range of fabrics for the xmas fair at Islington Mill but a new range of Christmas cards as well. I’m not sure if I will save their premiere viewing for next Sunday or if I will provide a sneak peek here. If you’re desperate to order cards, get in touch.

You can download the very last issue of plus1 from their website. Cover design by LaBoca. Packed with goodness, as always. Pretty funny and accurate comment about wayfarer sunglasses in the overrated feature.

Just listened to a talk by Johnathan Barnbrook of Barnbrook Design. If you’re looking for fonts named after homicidal madmen you can download them from his website. Apparantly this cd-which is among his claims to fame- has a ‘this way up’ label added for US stockists whose empoloyees are too thick to know which way it goes on the shelf…

Admittedly, differenciating between a maser and a laser surpasses my insubstantial ultrasonic apprehension, but AKQA’s christmas greeting worries me slightly… surely, like, radiation and stuff?
I must say though it’s the best card I’ve received this year. I love it!

Possibly tailored with the Windows-using account handler in mind, Love Creative’s new website is as user-friendly as they come… complete with pixellated hourglass timers and keyboard buttons. A particular blog entry re don’t bake a cakeoff made me chuckle.

And on another note, dutch poster design for your eyes on a Thursday afternoon.
