Gift Guide : Cushions
These few weeks of rain and unusually cold days have made me wish I had a comfy cushion/pillow that I can hug while working in front of the computer. So it’s only logical that today’s gift guide is all about cushions. :D
Diamonds are expensive. Maybe this cushion (by Yellow Heart Art) will suffice. 
I’ve always wanted to make one like this – obviously I’m not the only one. This cute notepad cushion from Cookie Cutter.
Delicious-looking pastel pouffy cushions from detailF.
Nice mix of neutral colours on this cushion by Earthlab.
Who doesn’t love anything French. This French Letter cushion from French Melody.
New York on a cushion – from Kimoley Deco.
Too cute! Crocheted penguin pillow from Peanut Butter Dynamite.
Simple but good-looking cushion from Robin and Mould.
For those who are more in touch with their dark side – a skull cushion from Subculture Arts.
I love anything tufted – even if with just one button. This beautiful cushion from The Illusion Factory.
Which is your favourite?

Gift Guide : Books
Today’s gift guide is books! This year, I’ve been addicted to buying books. It’s a wonderful feeling to see my shelf filling up with design + craft + creative books, but when it comes to moving house, it’s definitely on the top of the list of ‘heaviest-things-to-move’…I wish I have a magic wand that I can use to make my books small and lightweight during house-moving. :)
This list is actually more like my wishlist and I feel a very very strong urge to buy at least two of them – can you guess which two? hehehhe
Lots of inspiring artisans’ (loving that word) projects featured in this book by Olivier Dupon.
Ahhhhhh! minä perhonen!!! Such beautiful prints and textiles~ A retrospective of the past 15 years since its establishment. I’ve had a flick through this book and the images inside are truly, truly inspiring!
Something cute for the craft-enthusiasts out there! Very beautiful images of crafting tools and materials – best dictionary ever haha!
*All 3 images above from perimeterbooks*
These two books above have just been translated to English! Yeay for us who adore Japanese how-to books and are Jap-illiterate!
Victionary has once again come up with a gorgeous book; this time with a focus on art direction and fashion photography, aptly entitled ‘Mastermind’.
This book has been out for a while now but is still to-desire-for nonetheless.
Gift Guide : Poufs
Today’s gift guide is all about pouf footstools. That reminds me of some fabric I cut to make a pouf sometime ago – I should look for it and finish making it!

Very cute mushroom pouf from Anthropologie. I think it is by Anne-Claire Petit too.

Not really a pouf, but still as cute and comfy! From Zilalila.
I think poufs are such comfy items to be had in the house and creates a certain kind of coziness and playfulness, which adds character to a space. Yeay to poufs! :D
Gift Guide : Jewelry
Hello! The happy-merry-gift-giving season is almost here and I just can’t resist to do a few gift guide entries. First up, jewelry.
An origami necklace from Homako. I’ve been in love with her jewelry since discovering her a few months ago and these few days I’ve seen her pieces appearing in several blogs. Yeay!
Seems like braided/knitted/crocheted jewelry is a big hit right now and this one from AAliciaAccessories looks like it can keep you lucky people (in the Northern Hemisphere) warm during Christmas! :D
If the previous wasn’t warm enough, add another one, hahha 
From LOLLOPdesign.
Another fabric necklace – I love the simplicity of it. From Urban Creatures.
Beware! Felt balls are everywhere – from rugs to necklaces. But this colour scheme is so bright, glowy and merry that it is just very right for the holiday season. From Feltik.
This pretty denim necklace from Nest Pretty Things.
A bright red brooch from Uloni. This lady does amazing crocheted sculptural wearables!
Hand-painted geometric necklace from Vickygonart.
