Weekly Spotlight: Feather

Feather - Kung Fu Chicken

First of all, I’ve noticed that this spotlight hasn’t been quite that weekly. I promise to do better from now on Blush
In the spirit of Easter what better site to choose than Feather? Feather is the personal website of Debbie a.k.a. Kung Fu Chicken. It’s hard not to notice here incredible pixel talent, just look at that pixelated background Wow ! Debbie has got a great sense of self-mockery, resulting in nice content and a funny about-me story.

On Feather, you’ll find the navigation at the lower right, including a “YOU” sign. This part is stuffed with sweet adoptables and chicken-related emoticons (check them out in the material section). If this doesn’t bring you in the Easter mood, I don’t know what will. Happy Easter everyone!

If you would like to brighten up your blog, you can try out Doll-Doll.com. Just pick one out of three characters, change it’s colour, choose a food car and fill out your information.

Now your “doll” is ready to be implemented in your blog, Xanga or Myspace.

Visitors will see your creature and are able to feed it, drag it around and euhm… just look at it I guess. In the near future you can also create a doll pet (those look cute <3). Have fun!

Cute Bento Boxes

Onigiri boxes from Bento&Co

This last month I went a little bento crazy, looking for the cutest boxes and tools. I’m preparing for spring and summer bento picnics Smile Needless to say there’s been little sunshine to spot in the Netherlands so far…
Lately I’ve been complaining to my hubby that I needed more happiness in the kitchen. He replied that he was already surrounded by smiling boxes and tools, lol. I’ll share some pictures with you later.

If you’ve got tips for online recipes, please do share them in the comments! I would really like to know Grin
For now I’ll leave you with my favourite bento picks, in random order.

  1. Decole bento Box, featuring the Little chef. Also check out the adorable smiling cups
  2. 2-tier Tenorikuma bento box with a yellow belt, yep this one is also smiling.
  3. These onigiri boxes are probably the cutest, I couldn’t resist them. They’ll fit one onigiri and  you can place a (tiny) side dish on top. All three now live at my home, staring down at me from the fridge. Please have a look at the matching recipe.
  4. Shinzih Katoh is a japanese designer. You can purchase lots of retro-themed items from his shop. My favourite is the Apple lunch box, which would make a great storage for these apple zakka, how kawaii is that?
  5. Hello Kitty is about my age, so I also grew up with Twin Stars. They are both displayed on a two tier box with chopsticks. You can browse the JBOX site for tons of more bento items.
  6. This list wouldn’t be complete without some yummy Cram Cream so here you go: bunny or piggy.
  7. Kamio dreamy friends bento boxes, comes in 4 designs.
  8. Hooray for more smiling items, check out these boxes shaped like bread <3.
  9. Looking for a complete set? Than this Decole mayonaise bento might be right for you.
