a birthday squeeze...

i saw this today and considering the amount of birthday carrot cake i've eaten this weekend...i wish i had have had one of these...

a simple tool designed by finnish art and design student maria kivijarvi, it slices cakes into the perfect single slice...just cut and then squeeze the handle to keep the cake slice intact until its on your plate...

all credibilty for images and info to design milk...

an ode to 1980...

i'm celebrating my 30th birthday on saturday...big year for me in many ways...

anywho...i thought i'd put my tongue in my cheek and have a wee look at some inspiring interiors from the 1980's...if your house is in these hots here's the disclaimer...these guys put their tongues in their cheeks first..





and to think that this stuff might one day be 'retro'...ouch...

moved...

we're having great craic here at 'mc cunks' of 'cunkville' tonight...*

as i mentioned in a previous post, we moved into our house about 3 weeks ago...

me being me and me being superstitious i was adamant we had to move in on friday night, so crazy as she thought i was, mc wife and i grabbed a mattress and some sheets, 2 gallons of paint and painting supplies and we hauled ourselves in, painted our living room that night with the help of a large pizza and a case of america's finest...

up and at em early next morn, we had a u-haul truck to pick up and friends and family organised to help us with the move...and move we did...

the pic above is a very impromptu first dinner party...the table top is a resting on a few boxes, we pulled whatever chairs were closest to the table, mc wife and her co-horts popped out and came back with $50 worth of kfc and we were good to go...

until we realised we had no plates or silverware...so the scramble ensued, and surely before too long paper plates were unearthed from one box and our finest silverware we received as wedding presents was unwrapped and ready for action too...

what a christening for the silverware...paper plates and kfc...we did have great craic around the dinner table, mess or no mess...

anyway...what do y'all think of the blue above?

we've spent this evening finally deceiding on what artwork and photogrpahs we want to use in the space, exactly where the furnitre will go, what lamps are going where and what books, trinkets, phinky stuff is going where too...we nearly have one room finished...yay to me and mc wife...

anyway...what do you think of the blue...???
