Woven gift-wrap // pastel edition ^_^
By Kate on August 8, 2012 I noticed that the woven gift-topper I made last year was doing the rounds again on Pinterest so I thought I would make an updated pastel version (pastels seem to be the new neon at the moment). I bought some quilling strips (0.5cm) to use this time which reduces the labour by about half (I’ve also been working on some more intricate woven ‘things’ for another project…more to come soon). Anyway check out the previous post if you want full instructions. Above: Mischevious hands – the unseen backdrop in all my photo’s ^_^ While I took photos today my boys were making their own presents by wrapping boxes in newspaper. Finally, the font used on these images is called soymilk and it’s free to download …yay!

page corner bookmarks
This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM. I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads. But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley.

Comment créer un profil anonyme sur internet
Je vois pas mal de billets qui parlent de l’anonymat sur internet. Googleplus qui supprime des comptes, car il n’y a pas de vrai nom derrière (pour ne citer qu’un exemple). Personnellement, j’ai une identité cachée sur internet, je m’en sers peu, mais je l’ai depuis longtemps et j’ai donc un compte twitter un compte googleplus , un compte facebook en parallèle. Franchement je pourrais même créer un blogue avec mon deuxième personnage numérique , je pourrais me créer une identité exclusive à internet sans problème. Bien sûr un cyber détective pourrait s’apercevoir que mes deux identités cohabitent sur le même pc, mais il faudrait que je fasse des choses très graves pour qu’on déclenche une enquête sur ma pomme. Une identité par navigateur Pour bien séparer les variables et les cookies, c’est plutôt simple, j’utilise deux navigateurs. C’est un peu foutu l’anonymat sauf sur internet. Je crois que le seul endroit sur terre où on peut encore rester anonyme, c’est sur internet.

Woven paper gift topper
I‘m pretty chuffed with these woven paper gift toppers. They are a sinch to make and look really great with recycled newspaper wrap. The idea originated from this woven yarn gift topper which you can see at giverslog.com and from this image which comes from the book More Last Minute Knitted Gifts. How-to ♥ Cut some strips of colored paper. Mine were 0.5cm wide. They need to be long enough to wrap around your gift. I also made a rainbow gift topper….no surprise there then! Happy Monday everyone!
