Decorating, it's almost spring!

Mornings are beginning to light up and it always makes me more active and hopefull. It also helps that our "new" appartment is strarting to look like a home (Can I call it new if we've lived in it for 3 months now? Yes I can!). I like painting and woodworks and thatkind of stuff, but it's nice to focus on the little things occasionally. Like clocks! And I have my heart set on this one:

It would be big enough (50x50 cm) and just look at it!

The other thing that made me smile this week, was a story about Hammerpress. I'ts really old school and still working press. You can see from the picture what kind of things they do. http://hammerpress.net/

From Wikipedia I steal this next sentence: Letterpress printing is a term for the relief printing of text and image using a press with a "type-high bed" printing press and movable type, in which a reversed, raised surface is inked and then pressed into a sheet of paper to obtain a positive right-reading image.

Sweet! Small industries like this always appeal to me for some reason.
