It's Tuesday! Time to see what's cooking over on Etsy this week, at least according to me. :) I found a few Germans, a girl in Greece, a crafty lady in Vancouver, and a few super cute bibs including one that is as old as I am (and this one isn't for sale). Ready?
Sieben Morgan is Tinee Kleinschroth, a German talent who creates all items by hand and those that you see with patterns are hand printed. A full-time freelance artist who specializes in printmaking, Tinee's shop is such a treat to look through. She also has a blog.
Apple & Eve creates the sweetest little pillows! Eva is Estonian but currently living in Germany and makes the cutest crafts from home with great attention to all the little details. Darling!
Kup Kup Land is Kima, who studied graphic design and illustration. She loves to experiment with a variety of materials but seems to like felt the best. Kima was born in Barcelona then moved to Santander and now Athens — no doubt her colorful, sunny surroundings are the reason for her lively crafts.
Leslie Rogers' little shop called Uptown Design has some of the cutest crochet characters and she takes some really cute photos. She is from Vancouver and the moment you step into her shop you'll want to be a kid again. Go ahead, you totally can. :) She has a Dawanda store, too.
I don't feature a lot of things for children but I have to show you Bunny Bum because I am crazy about these bibs. My best friend in Germany, Sandra, just had a daughter and my local close friend Paris is due this summer, so I'm thinking about babies a lot lately. And when I saw these mini quilts with pillows for dolls, I also couldn't resist sharing them because they made me feel extremely happy inside. My mother made these for my Barbie dolls when I was a little girl. I have so many nice memories of my mother sewing things for my dolls that this wave of joy comes over me whenever I see handmade dolly things. :) I always felt so cherished when she made little things just for me. Like this…
I still have my first bib. My mother made this for me when she was 25 and I was waiting to be born. After I arrived, this is the bib that she gave me during feeding time. I always kept it neat and safe, my favorite dolly wore it until I was in my teens and then it was tucked away in a special box. It's still in the box but I took it out today for the first time in years to share it here. I can't wait to someday give it to the baby I hope to have in the future.
Handmade things never go out of style, are always cherished, and make the recipient feel so loved.

I'm excited to share the slideshow that I've pulled together for Domino called A Few Good (Etsy) Men – it just went live yesterday. I felt passionate about including a piece devoted to male artists in their online Etsy gallery because lots of guys are quick to judge Etsy as mostly an all-girl space and I'm determined to show that some amazing guys do successfully sell their art as affordable prints there. The fact that a magazine as hugely popular as Domino is paying attention to their work just may be the motivation needed to encourage more guys to sell prints on sites like Etsy.
This is my small contribution to hopefully motivating the men out there, high give guys! And I'd like to thank all who helped me pull together this piece. For the men I've missed please send me your shop information because who knows, perhaps Domino will feature an all male review – part two in the future.
I've been writing for Domino magazine online since 2006, the Etsy spotlights on their site are my pride and joy. You can read them all right here.
Go men, go!

Now this is one cool website. It's called Charmingwall Inc. and is based in New York City where they have a retail space at 191 West 4th. The website is gorgeous, I love how it's designed, and the art featured is just great. I recognize some of the artists from Etsy. Charmingwall Inc. specializes in a hand-picked selection of open-edition fine art prints from artists located around the world, covering everything from fine art to the more illustrative comic book art.
They recently launched an online store for those of us not in NYC, I encourage you to browse it — great finds! I was happy to see an artist I love, Bailey Saliwanchik, featured on their site. If you recall, I used some of her work in a space I designed for Adorn magazine awhile back when Adorn was still around (R.I.P.) and I ended up purchasing one of the paintings I featured in that same room. Bailey's work is awesome, and for $20 you can own a print of your very own from this talented artist.

James Merrell, who is represented by Judith Miller Inc., is an amazing London-based photographer that you already know without even knowing. How do you know Merrell? His work has appeared all over, I instantly recognized it the moment I scanned his online portfolio — it's been viewed in the pages of Anthropologie and Brocade Home catalogs, Elle Decor, LivingEtc, Target, you name it. The man is genius.
Most don't bother to pay attention to image credits in books and magazines but I encourage everyone to do so because the imagery we see is such a huge draw to why we embrace certain publications and without them, we'd all be lost.
I was reading a book over the weekend, Life's Little Pleasures: A Perfect Day (also our book of the week) and noticed his name in the photography credits and decided to look him up. So glad I did.

Another intern seeks redress mechanism
A former law intern who has made sexual harassment allegations against Justice Swatanter Kumar moved the Supreme Court on Monday seeking inquiry against the retired judge.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice P. Sathasivam, before whom the matter was mentioned for urgent hearing, agreed to ake up the case on January 15, 2014.
The intern has challenged the apex court's December 5, 2013 full court resolution that ruled that it would not entertain complaints against its retired judges.
The petitioner also submitted that a proper forum be constituted to conduct inquiry in such cases and that her complaint be also looked into by the apex court like it was done in the case of sexual harassment allegations against Justice (retired) A.K. Ganguly.
The intern has made Justice Kumar, the Secretary General of the Supreme Court and the Union of India parties in the case. She submitted that Justice Kumar was a sitting judge at the time of the alleged incident and the apex court must look into the complaint as per Vishaka guidelines.
Justice Kumar, who is at present heading the National Green Tribunal, has described the allegations as "incredulous and false" and "some kind of conspiracy."
Leading advocates support intern
The intern's demand for a Supreme Court probe into her allegations has been supported by Additional Solicitor General Indira Jaising, and leading lawyers Kamini Jaiswal, Harish Salve and Vrinda Grover. They have said the case concerning Justice Kumar was different from that of Justice Ganguly, who resigned as Chairman of West Bengal Human Rights Commission after sexual harassment allegations were levelled against him, also by an intern. Ms. Jaiswal said the court must set up a committee and conduct a thorough probe into the allegation as Justice Kumar was a sitting judge when the alleged incident took place in May 2011. Justice Ganguly's alleged act of harassment took place after he had demitted office as a judge.
In the case of Justice Ganguly, the Supreme Court set up an internal committee of three judges which reported that the statement of the intern prima facie disclosed an unwelcome behaviour, verbal and non-verbal conduct of sexual nature by him. The court had also made it clear that it would not further entertain representations against former judges.
In her earlier complaint, the intern alleged that on one occasion Justice Kumar placed his hand on her lower back when she was stepping out of his office room. "I felt quite uncomfortable and disturbed but I brushed it aside."
Subsequently, on another occasion, when she went to the judge's room to apologise for a mistake she had committed, he told her not to worry and asked her to come over to his side of the desk.
"When I did, he put his right arm around me and kissed me on my left shoulder. I was quite taken aback and shocked, and I excused myself and hurriedly left his room."

Early Warning
Scientists are using GPS to quickly determine the size of earthquakes. First, scientists plant GPS receivers in the ground. By measuring how far these GPS receivers move, scientists can sometimes measure the strength of an earthquake in as little as 15 minutes.Knowing the size of an earthquake is central to predicting whether it can produce dangerous ocean waves known as a tsunamis. By the time a tsunami reaches land, it can be a huge, destructive wall of water. Early warning is crucial in saving lives because tsunami waves move faster than people can run.
GPS technology is used to track animals as they migrate. Animals, from humpback whales to arctic terns to grizzly bears, are fitted with GPS receivers. These receivers let researchers know where that animal is as it moves. Biologists can track animals as they migrate to another habitat for a season, move in search of food or shelter, or are forced out of their ecosystem by human activity such as construction.The global positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites and receiving devices used to determine the location of something on Earth. Some GPS receivers are so accurate they can establish their location within 1 centimeter (0.4 inches). GPS receivers provide location in latitude, longitude, and altitude. They also provide the accurate time.
GPS includes 24 satellites that circle Earth in precise orbits. Each satellite makes a full orbit of Earth every 12 hours. These satellites are constantly sending out radio signals.
GPS receivers are programmed to receive information about where each satellite is at any given moment. A GPS receiver determines its own location by measuring the time it takes for a signal to arrive at its location from at least four satellites. Because radio waves travel at a constant speed, the receiver can use the time measurements to calculate its distance from each satellite.
Using multiple satellites makes the GPS data more accurate. If a GPS receiver calculates its distance from only one satellite, it could be that exact distance from the satellite in any direction. Think of the satellite as a flashlight. When you shine it on the ground, you get a circle of light. With one satellite, the GPS receiver could be anywhere in that circle of light. With two more satellites, there are two more circles. These three circles intersect, or cross, in only one place. That is the location of the GPS receiver. This method of determining location is called triangulation.
Aircraft, ships, submarines, trains, and the space shuttle all use GPS to navigate. Many people use receivers when driving cars. The GPS receiver plots the car's constantly-changing location on an electronic map. The map provides directions to the person's destination. Both the location and the vehicle are plotted using satellite data. Some hikers use GPS to help them find their way, especially when they are not on marked trails.
Sometimes there are obstacles to getting a clear GPS signal. Gravity can pull the GPS satellites slightly out of orbit. Parts of Earth's atmosphere sometimes distort the satellite radio signals. Trees, buildings, and other structures can also block the radio waves. GPS control and monitoring stations around the world track the satellites and constantly monitor their signals. They then calculate corrections that are broadcast to GPS receivers. These corrections make GPS much more accurate.
The original GPS system began as a project of the U.S. military. The first experimental satellite was launched in 1978. By 1994, a full 24 GPS satellites were orbiting Earth. At first, GPS available for civilian, or nonmilitary, use was not very accurate. It would only locate a GPS receiver within about 300 meters (1,000 feet). Today, an accurate signal is free and available to anyone with a GPS receiver.
GPS is American. Russia has its own version of a GPS system, called GLONASS (Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System). China and the European Union are currently creating systems of their own. -

Rhine Cruise, Koblenz
10 Reviews
10 Reviews
Favorite thing:
The town of St Goar and the St Goar Castle on top of the hill...
Our cruise up the Rhine was great, we saw some gorgeous towns and seeing all the castles up on the hills was my favourite part!!
We didn't stop at many of the towns along the way but we will go again one day.
Favorite thing:
While spending a few days in Cologne, we decided to take a cruise down the Rhine River. Having read many tour books, not having yet been a member of VT, we decided to depart from Cologne via train.
We took the train to Koblenz. What a blast! We were on the train with a large group of fans of the Fortuna Dusseldorf soccer team that were on there way to Mainz for a championship game. They had brought not only many fans and hundreds of cans of beer but also there own security force of police to help them get to the stadium in Mainz. A very nice group of folks many of who wanted to show their skill at English.
In Koblenz we took a local train down to St. Goar to board a daytime cruise ship. St. Goar is a delightful town and we walked along a few of the streets but not up to the castle. The cruise line we chose was KD which is covered under the Eurail Pass at no additional charge.
The cruise was truly a delight. The ship stops in all the towns along the Rhine including the most interesting ones to us which were Bacharach, Kaub, Oberwesel, Lorch, and Rüdesheim, Eltville, and Wiesbaden-Biebrich. So many interesting sites to see along the way and time for hundreds of pictures. Best enjoyed with a pint of beer sitting in the German sun.
The train station in Mainz is not too far from the river. We took the evening train back to Cologne for the night. This trip can be done in one day. However I recommend starting the day south of Koblenz and stopping in at least two of the towns along the way to explore the beauty of the Rhine countryside.
Fondest memory:
in Koblenz it was the train station. Along the Rhine River trip from St. Goar to Mainz were the amazing castles and homes all along the river. Bacharach and Oberwesel were very pretty as was all the scenery up and down the river.
Favorite thing:
We plan to stay in the Castle Liebenstein during our visit and have been searching for information and photos of the area. There is a map of the river from Bonn through the Rhinegau to Mainz. It's an interactive map where you can see photos of each town, castle, and sight along the river; read history of the area; and see how many hotels are in each area.
If you don't speak German, use Google to translate selected pages, as they are written in German. www.rheintourist.de
Favorite thing: In Koblenz you can enter one of the cruise ships to go down the Rhine. Halfway between Koblenz and Mainz you come accross the most famous rock at the Rhine River, the Loreley. A lot of songs have been composed about this rock. It is said that at night, when the full moon shines, eleves dance on top of this 120 meters (400 feet) high rock. the word "Lore" comes from the old German word for dancing, and "Lei" from "rock". This might be the real origin of the name "Loreley".
Fondest memory: A tourist boat cruising between the two river of 'Rein' and 'Mossel'. They have stopped in here in Koblenz.
Favorite thing: Oberwesel is a town that we travelled past while on the way to Koblenz from Bacharach on the KD cruise down the Rhine River...
Favorite thing: A nice street in Rudesheim... I really loved Rudesheim because the streets were all cute and everything was very well looked after...
Favorite thing: Braubach is another town we came across while we were on the cruise on the way from Bacharach to Koblenz...
Favorite thing:
This is a view of St Goar from the KD cruise boat we were on...what a cute town... :)
We didn't get to stop there but maybe next time...
Favorite thing: I have been told this building is in Boppard and is called Bopparder Teehäusje... :) It's beautiful huh?!! I love the German buildings...
