The most relaxing thing to do on a dark, rainy evening like this, is scroll through some lovely blogs and wind down after a long day. I found these adorable kitten pics and they are just too cute. I don’t know the website, but I had to take a wee moment to coo over the kittens here and thought I would repost out of sheer appreciation:
The gruff farmer type by the rear end of the cattle – not so cute… but then you look down and see wee helpless bairns all struggling to get some fresh milk… and your heart melts.
I can’t even remember how life was before blogs, wikipedia and spotify. Lately I have been looking up loads of crafting, thrifting blogs to peruse for ideas in accessorizing my wee flat. There are realms of creativity and online-community-ness that I am only just now stumbling upon… and spying on! I love a lot of the cheerfulness and international friendliness that springs up amongst creative-y types.
Recently I’ve learned so much from online searching or scrolling. Much ado about painting furniture, about making ‘wreathes’ from household items or making your own logos and signs that say things like ‘mama said there’d be days like this’… plus there are so many, many retro-redeeming tutorials to spice up something from the recent past.
That idea of reclaiming/repurposing items might seem redundant to some folks – or even kinda vain because it’s soooo extremely popular and trendy. However, it’s a treat to see so many people in the Western world taking the time to work on something that isn’t immediate, but custom made, invested in and not brand-spankin’ new! So, I’m all for searching the streets of online stores and blogs to help keep me in touch with the olden days when folks toiled with their hands and not their credit cards…. Hey, even going back to the time when kittens sat by farmers and awaited a wee feed from the other udder.
