Dark, ancient mysteries... such as vermiform mummies

Once a mighty ruler of an ancient, vast underground kingdom, now a cursed vermiform invertebrate burrowing restlessly in the night. This foul being, covered in the tattered remains of its embalming linens, is neither alive nor dead - it is the abominable mummified worm!

He is only 8.5 cm (3 1/4 in) long, but do not be fooled by his diminutive size, for he makes the bravest hearts tremble in fear with his red gaze of terror.

(As you may have guessed, I suffered through another sleep-deprived day recently. The results were... Well, you can see them yourself here.)

Tuesday Finds: Pillows

My apologies for seemingly disappearing for a couple of weeks. The final rush of the holiday season has kept me a busy girl indeed, but now things are starting to slow down again and I can sit back, relax and revive the other, sorely neglected parts of my life. I shall start by bringing about this week's Tuesday Finds!

A good night's sleep would be welcome after the past couple of weeks, mmmmm. So, it's only natural that the theme I ended up with this week is pillows.

Simple but stylish. That's what this beautiful flowering pillow is. These pillows are sewn by hand by Julianna Holowka and are available in a few more colours in her shop.

Absoluut's shop is full of pillow covers made from great vintage fabrics, in all sorts of colours and patterns. It's nigh impossible to choose one favourite, but as I have to for this feature, I picked this one. The colours are delicious!

While on the topic of pillows, there's no way I could leave out brokesy's creations. Her attack! pillows, such as the set with a yeti chasing a poor lemming, are just awesome. Be sure to head on over to her shop to pick out your own fave among the variations on the theme.
