Lovely Softies..

I was checking out here and stumbled across these lovely crocheted and fabric creatures from Sweet Nellie. I think they're just beautiful.

Inspiration from Barcelona

My first trip to Barcelona in 10 years was simply amazing. The great people, food, sights and weather, bars and lifestyle were just what I needed to get over my London non-summer hump. We spent a week just walking (or riding bikes) around just taking everything in. One of the best things I did was go inside Gaudi's Casa Milà when L was working one day.

You can't mistake it from the outside as anything other than a Gaudi, and it is quiet breathtaking. Once inside the apartment on the top floor, the robust lines of the exterior morph into beautiful sinous biomorphic lines. A light filled example of Art Nouveau, subtle detail and an amazing use of space. I could of spent hours in there.

The detail in every corner was what I loved about it the most. The wood work on the beds, light fixtures and doors. The undulating ceiling, the floor tiles and these crochet curtains were also pretty special.
