CRAFTS, BAKING & COZY HOBBIES FOR A CREATIVE HOME

Sharing with you this lovely tune from Berlinist. It's best enjoyed on earphones. Have a happy Sunday!

January calendar wallpaper from Wild Olive

Your desktop deserves a fresh, new look for January! Pick the wallpaper that suits your style and mood. As of the moment I'm feeling Vanillery Garden-ish so that cute Mori Girl meets kawaii wallpaper is on my desktop.

Speaking of mood, have you ever heard of Mood Panda? It's a free interactive mood diary where you log in your state of moodiness or happiness. Feeling happy? Feeling like crap? Feeling like PMS Avenger? Tell it to Mood Panda. Heck, he'll even create a mood calendar and mood map for you and compare it with the rest of the planet. Mood map or none, one thing I'm sure of my moods are generally affected by moon phases. Perhaps I need to create a Man on the Mood  (a pun to R.E.M's song)  web app! 

From mood let's go to music. One of the things I want to do this year is to listen to more music and artists (especially the indie obscure ones). I'm glad to have stumbled upon 1 Day 1 Song. I'm now listening to Day 5. Put your headphones on and have a listen!

A few hours to go before Christmas eve. I wish you love, I wish you joy, I wish you God's grace on this most magical time of the year.

Merry Christmas!
