coffee splash by donchris!™ [superslow]
I was actually looking at another photograph of a coffee splash shown on the flickr blog, when I realised how much more I like this one. Such interesting colour and details, and this splash is so impressive! Great action shot :)
If I was thinking I would have taken a photo of the results from one of my favourite coffee cups 1/3 full of coffee smashed on the kitchen floor. These cups are about 8 seasons ago from the designer so I wont hold my breath finding a replacement, three is a disappointing number when it comes to cup sets.

I really like the artwork for the Sydney 2010 The Finders Keepers. Definitely take a look at the website of the artist Madeleine Stamer. I missed last years Brisbane event and I’m so looking forward to our time to come around again.
My posts have been pretty sparse these past couple of days I know and I haven’t had a chance for any knitting – I have a work contract for a few weeks that sees me having to actually get dressed and leave the house rather than sit at my own desk all day. It’s pretty enjoyable work so it’s worth the sacrifice of having to change out of pyjamas in the morning and not being able to say blog in the middle of the day or take a knitting/lunch break :)
- yellow kind of day
These images don’t work well together I know, but I just had to put them together here. The other day I had to go out for a job and on my way home all I could see was yellow things jumping out at me. Yellow signs, flowers, little butterflies, paper, houses… you get the drift, yellow was jumping up and down for my attention.
- the new doctor

Neil Gaiman tweeted:
You ALWAYS don’t like the new Dr Who. It’s a rule. You miss the last one. But after a few weeks (or less) he’s the Doctor. It’s inevitable.
He’s right, but even from this short preview I don’t hate this new Doctor, in fact I kind of liked him straight away – I’m surprised! I really really liked Christopher Eccleston and when he regenerated I could not imagine that David Tennant would ever grow on me… too skinny, too comic looking. He was fantastic! Tom Baker will always be the ‘real’ Doctor to me but Tennant has been my favourite by far.

I love this photo I took the other day, I’m just so happy with the colour, depth of field, and with my composition. Very pleased. It looks so much better at a slightly larger size.

The location of the new Purl Soho is gorgeous! The old shop was very cute, I actually asked John to take a photo of it while he was in New York last year, but this building has so much potential. The fire escape makes it. In my dream we would live over the entire top floor with a private roof top garden to rival the best.

Matt Lucas is going to be so fantastic to watch as Tweedledee & Tweedledum, just looking at this still showing that characteristic head tilt, that man is hilarious! According to what I’ve read, Tim Burton found some inspiration in the creepy twins from The Shining :)
I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie, visually it will be stunning, I hope the story is as impressive.
And just because I’ve mentioned it (even though the story is butchered from the original book it’s still a pretty awesome movie):
- pretty yellow
I really do like the colour yellow, such a pity it looks so dreadful against my skin.
Another pity? The fact that Anthropologie will not ship to Australia… it’s such an irritation to find companies nowadays that will not shop outside of the US.
- chairs
Karin Bubaš, Rose Coloured Chair
I really like the print, Rose Coloured Chair, the combination of pattern, colour, and the design of the chair really grabs me. It’s only the same as far as subject matter goes, but seeing this photograph makes me think of one I took earlier in the week.
It was a strange stormy day and I felt like taking photos of almost everything I saw. I pulled my camera out to take a photo of a sign I like and an old lady screamed obscenities at me for taking her photo – the camera was pointed nowhere near her direction! Maybe she secretly hoped I would take her portrait? But never mind, I got my photo quickly and left her alone to her grumbling.
- circus wedding
I came across this photograph via Design*Sponge, I think it was a post about artistic people and mentioned the creative wedding of one couple. I took a look at the rest of the images, but it was just this one photo of the cake that got me interested.
What a perfect cake – a perfect wedding cake! It’s fun and elegant, not taking itself too seriously, just what a wedding would need I think. The most simple of photos that makes me want to run away and take photos of everything :)
