If Fonts Were Cats

So I know this has done the rounds a few times but I love it. A few of my favourites are below but you can find all of them here.

So I've found a new supply of pattern resources (and how to guides) over at Pattern People. They have a whole range of downloadable patterns here including illustrator versions but I had a hard time trying to find us usage age terms & conditions.

I love the random & repeatable nature of their 'Crystal Web' pattern but my favourite would be the 'Cross Stitch' Pattern. Images via Pattern People, Enjoy!

Architecture for Dogs

Have a look at this awesome site featuring architectural plans for dogs that you can print out and make yourself.
My favourites are the Pug (by Kengo Kuma), the Beagle (by MVRDV) and the Dachshound (by Atelier Bow-Wow).

White Sangria Popsicles

The Olé tapas bar in Southbank serves the most amazing white sangria which is perfect for this time of year but you know what's even better? White Sangria Popsicles. Recipe can be found here over at The Weekend Edition (which I highly recommend subscribing to for a what's what in Brisbane).

Kitty-Cats

I am a self-confessed crazy-cat-lady but as long as I'm not at home, for the most part, I try to keep it under wraps. That said, it does seem that the role of crazy-cat-lady is becoming less crazy and more lady. I have also noticed an increased trend in cat paraphernalia (probably as cats have taken over the internet). Inspired by this post on frankie, here are my crazy-cat-lady picks.

Pattern Wednesday #6

A busy week full of Christmas parties and Astronomy study hasn't left much time for pattern making but I did manage to make one. It is based on a Japanese fabric design and feels a little Christmasy to me :)
