Forest Garden

I ordered some proof swatches from spoonflower a while ago - for some reason it takes weeks and weeks for the post to get to Europe from North Carolina but they're finally here. First up in the shop, as requested, Forest Garden!

Forest Garden
This one's based loosely on the deciduous forests of Asia and I've decided to donate 10% of all commission earned on this design to BirdLife International. They work with local charities all over the world preserving bird habitats and thereby improving global biodiversity. Forest Garden is available on 10 different fabrics here!

I hope everyone's enjoying their last little bit of summer in the northern hemisphere. Wouldn't it be great to have a house in both hemispheres so you could have summer all year round?

Is There Life On Mars?

It really doesn't feel like over eight months since I posted these two but the view from Curiosity right now is already more like the second picture than the first. The mobile laboratory, which is the size of a car, is scheduled for an ambitious landing in Gale Crater at 05:31 GMT, August the 6th and we'll definitely be watching. Happy weekend peeps!

The crazy sky crane worked! Such a great achievement - congrats everyone at NASA! I'm really looking forward to finding out more over the next few years.
