I don’t need a lot of diverting or amusing myself at the moment, but I’ve had some of these links sitting around for a while :)
01) I love Playmobil because it has some truly wacky components, so I loved this list from Topless Robot of the 17 Least Appropriate Playmobil Sets for Children.
02) Oh my goodness, Kris Atomic has an amazing cat!
03) And she has also assembled this collection of photos of amazing sights around the world. I want to go to there, indeed…
04) JSR and I were both taken by this steamer trunk armoire – it’s a little office in a giant suitcase! I’m sure it’s more fun to look at than to use, but even so…
05) This surreal animated video of teddy bears and cars is… oddly hypnotising.
06) It wouldn’t be a D&A post without a link to Zooborns! This vicuña has a charming neck…
07) I gasped when I saw these felt mushroom terrariums by Heidi from My Paper Crane. Truly magical, I bet they’ll sell in an instant… the dolls are awesome too!
08) More sculptural goodness from webcomic Articulate Matter.
09) And again, loving these faux mounted butterflies from Geninne’s Art Blog.
10) The cloud-shaped marshmallows make this the cutest cocoa around.

Willow at 4 days with a sleepy-sleepy face…

… and a scrunchy-sleepy face :)

We had a beautiful baby GIRL early on Sunday morning!
Her name is Willow, and she has round cheeks, soft dark hair, a tiny dimpled chin, and the smoothest skin I’ve ever touched.
We spent two nights in the hospital and came home a few hours ago. It is so good to be here together as a family (though the cats do not know what to make of her, ha ha!)
Photos to follow, as I forgot to take my proper camera to the hospital and cellphone pictures don’t do her justice :)

I’m getting quite a few emails about the baby – no, it hasn’t arrived yet! It’s overdue now, and I am getting more uncomfortable by the day, so I really hope it comes soon…
I will make an announcement here as soon as I can, but if you want to know right away I suggest you follow me on Twitter, which is likely to have the news first as I can update it easily from my phone.
That’s my personal account and not usually business-related, so you may also have to read about the weather and what I’m eating for lunch in the meantime :D
P.S. Please don’t be offended if I don’t follow you back – I can only keep up with so many people!
