Hello and happy Monday to everyone. I hope you all had a relaxing weekend and your week starts nicely.

Last week I received this little magazine from the UK that I ordered because it has a feature of Dottie Angel. She wrote a post about it some weeks ago and being a total Dottie fan I ordered this magazine directly the same day and I am NOT disappionted at all.

Cloth Magazine is published in the UK and is all about self-designed and sewn clothes. They offer very good advice on how to sew your own pieces or change your old clothing (and even shoes!) They show sewing techniques, have little projects that are easy to make and in this current issue they have a whole chapter about how to choose the right sewing machine and how to start with it.

Dottie Angel explains very detailed how to appliquè little doilies on vintage fabric in a great tutorial of a shelf cover. Her work is so outstanding and amazes me everytime I search through her website.

If you have a chance to get hold of an issue of Cloth Magazine I highly recommend to grab it. Especially if you’re a beginner and need help or inspiration this is a treasure. If you can’t check out their website which contains a LOT of information as well.

I will place my subscription now as I don’t want to miss one issue!

That is the claim of “Anatomicals” – a producer of the funniest toiletries I’ve ever seen. I’ve found this brand in a cute little internet store called Bertine and chuckled all the way through the gallery of their products. “snog me senseless” turned out to be a lip balm, “help the paw” a handcream, “i’m a woman, hear me snore” a sleeping mask. Too funny. I ordered the hand cream and shampoo (for the name look at the image. I dare not write its name here. You can’t imagine the spam comments I received when I blogged about the **** and your blog journal…!)

I could not resist. On the bright colored packaging label you have a text that explains the product in a humorous way. Everything is made with natural ingredients, smells very good and is not animal tested. Their range contains body care for women and men, remedies (herbal patches) and accessories.

These are definitely products seeing and smelling them put you in a good mood. In Europe you can buy them directly in their shop or at Amazon UK, in the US you can buy them at HQ Hair. Too good!

I’ve found this adorable valentine’s cut out. You can download the file and start right away.

So that’s what I did the past 15 minutes. It’s a real challenge to cut these little hearts and it still didn’t turn out very accurate. At a certain point it becomes so delicate I couldn’t dare to cut out the “TO LOVE” but it’s loads of fun.

I’m very in love with paper cut outs lately. Especially with this one here. It comes from Julene and I’m sneaking around this artwork since some months now but the 95$ really made me hesitate. But I will get it for our nest one day. It’s too lovely.

Wow. This is the coolest idea I’ve seen in weeks. So simple, so sweet, so funny, just great.

Design your own M&Ms. When I read this 5 minutes ago I was in instant awe and when I found out we can order in Germany, too I was supercalifragilistic!

Go to mymms.com or mymms.de and start designing. You can choose the color and text. It’s the simple things that inspire me the most!
