01) It’s true I had Stickers and Donuts in my last link post, but this is definitely worth a second inclusion: a printable Writing Implement Test Sheet! Includes space for printing and cursive tests; a drawing test; squiggle and line tests; a smiley face test – everything you need to put a new pen, pencil or marker through its paces.
02) This is surely the world’s happiest car, and it’s called the Peapod! I usually could not care less about cars, but I’m loving the green version.
03) The stop-motion videos TADworks have been making recently with their tiny Po figurines are so sweet. I saw the third one in the series and immediately rushed to Etsy to buy the green Po who steals the show :)
04) I love a house with a grass roof! My dream is to have one with a goat to nibble it down. (via Materialicious)
05) The Seed, a wonderful stop-motion papercraft video directed by Johnny Kelly. (via Buzzfeed)
06) Two new blogs I’ve started reading:
- Grain Edit “… focused on classic design work from the 1950s-1970s and contemporary designers that draw inspiration from that time period”
- Inspiration Resource “A place for graphic designers to gather images and be inspired”
07) Klaus Haapaniemi’s Satumetsa dinnerware is quirky and folkloric. I don’t think I’ve ever had a china pattern catch my eye like this before! (via Apartment Therapy)
08) A lovely plush Fat Fugu fish from Zooguu on Etsy – you know I love anything round. He looks super cuddly. (via Indie Fixx, who linked to another adorable Zooguu plush)
09) Gala Darling’s Sad Trombone List (100 Things To Do When You’re Upset) is going into my bookmarks for the next time I have a bad day. Not everything there would work for me, but there’s so many ideas I’m sure everyone would find something cheering!
10) If you like the two-guys-ramble-on style of podcast, and don’t mind a few rude bits, I would highly recommend The Perfect Ten with Phill and Phil. (One of the guys is Phill Jupitus, who you might know from British panel shows QI & Never Mind The Buzzcocks.) I listen to a lot of podcasts while I work, and I was so pleased to find another good one. (via ohdarling)
P.S. I have a little interview up at Pretty Pretty Pretty – thanks Jo and Amy!

You have the best links! I totally agree about the grass roof. I saw a doc about them on a Japanese cable channel when I was in China last year – apart from being adorable, apparently they’re massively useful against global warming as they don’t reflect heat back.
Love that dinner service – it would be great for reducing your food intake as you wouldn’t want to cover up the pattern!
