Coolest kicks/don’t bite your friends

July 25, 2012

Totally stumbled across these today while trying to find a pair of shoes for me.
Selfish I know.
I would love to buy these for the team especially our newest edition our little boy Atticus.
Unfortunately the rest of the team would probs only wear todee or foofa.

Vans have definitely won my heart with these although I did settle on a pair of vegan Macbeths from Surfstitch whilst eating a burger. that fact may not be true the burger bit

Personally I would probably buy the brobee ones. But the Munos could be for black tie events.

PS: Didn’t check the price. Would rather live the fantasy that they might be a reasonable costing.

Magical ‘Childs Own’ Paper to Plush

April 26, 2012

Any one who knows me, knows that I hate plush toys, I really truly dislike them, they are great for children under the age of ‘loves Barbie’ after that I am sure they become disease infested dust collecting, dog toys, that are terribly slippery when placed on polished timber flooring in ones house.

That being said, I am always rather partial to children’s idea being forced into reality especially their crazy little drawings of different creatures and people. Whilst they push you to the limits of what’s annoying/humorous/tiring/hygienic, that also push their own little imaginations into the unthinkable.

Some of the faces and drawing our little team members have doen are pretty cool and I have found a website that turns such drawings into very cool plush toys!

Child’s Own Studio is an amazing website/craft artist who puts children’s crazy/amazing drawings into beautiful handmade plush toys.

Each one a perfect recreation as it passes from imagination into plush toy existence. On the Child’s Own Studio Website, there is also some very cool accompanying stories from the children that make the original drawings.

As per the site, Child’s Own Studio is described like this by the site.

“Child’s Own Studio is a place where your child and a craft artist, together, can create a keepsake to be cherished for a lifetime”

all so cool, my favourite is “Steggy off to school”

I know this is not the first of this kind of idea. I remember seeing child’s art being recreate by adults some time ago, but the fact the Child’s Own Studio turns them into cool plush dolls for the child to keep, I think is very cool.

Please goo and check out the site, or the Flickr

I love the annotation to explain the computer. Totally cool.

 

 

Cardboard Arcade anyone?

I am buying a super-pass. I love Children’s’ imagination, especially the check code on the front of all the machines.

At our house. Gum leaves are ‘tickets’ and tree branches, are bad witch’s walking sticks.

Cubby houses. [part 2]

November 4, 2011

I know, I know, we have been over this before but, this time it is true love…..oh wait, that was for the latest edition of mills and boon I am writing.

I love cubby houses.

 

I really just do.

I treat our grown up house like a cubby house. Well I found some new ones, perhaps in a more reasonable price range (when I say reasonable, I mean if I was a single millionaire, and the kids I were entertaining were the ones I bought from an orphanage).

These simple modular cubbys give the kids that certain modern minimalist chillout sopt they deserve.

 

I would order a birch double.

 

check them out over at Play-Modern

I think I really like the little planter boxes as well, gives that appeal that you kids pad is in SoHo NYC or Camperdown SYD

Makes you want to be able to fit in a cubby house huh?

Our girls have a really cool cubby house thanks to their Aunty’s close friend ‘Santa’. here is some other cool alternatives. IT make me really happy to know that people aren’t totally forgetting children. But sometimes you have to wonder. The dirty looks from the 67.5ers when your children hide in the clothes racks or speak above a level of 10 decibels in Myers. Or they might not for a split second be looking where there are going while walking past a toy shop and the 40 year old with no strings and too much money to  spend on no one but him or herself can’t help but give the 3 year old a disapproving look. Due to the fact that the child didn’t hop out of the road and organise for a ‘king henry style’ trumpet announcement that the king of IKEA and Woolworths Rhodes is approaching, and that all his subjects, (everyone else in sydney in his or her brain) should be aware that he is on his way pushing a trolley (job of his or her lowly servent) to a right ol’ session of pretending to like sushi, especially the one with friend chicken, and that he is definitely wearing a ralph lauren shirt.

clap.                                                    clap.                                                               clap. [insert spinifex hilarious whistle type country western roll by]

mate. (referring to male or female) I am going to share the craziest notion with you.

My children are not going to smear donuts/chips/biscuits/cheese sandwich into the leather interior of you VW Polo, and guess what.

yes.

You wear once a child.

Sorry total rant. Sort of like I had too many (insert popular drink at the moment here, usually something with Jagermeister) and too many ‘Styvo’s’ are they still around. Oh they would have to be, Newtown and North Sydney still exist right?

on with the show.

Here are some cool pictures of Cubby house from Design Milk. if you are not subscribe to the team at Design Milk, or don’t refresh their site on you PC every hour you have not lived. I might have stolen that quote from some 40.00y/o that told me that If i had not eaten at a certain cafe in surry hills then I have not lived.
