Day 104: IKEA Rugs

At the moment I am staying with my mum for a few days, just before term kicks off again. Because it's just been summer, Mum's got a 'summer rug' in the lounge which is brightly coloured and reminds me of one of those pots you make when you go on holiday, the ones you fill with different coloured sand. In winter Mum has a 'winter rug' which is deep reds and looks like something (nice) from the Victorian era.

So, I found myself thinking about rugs as I sat in the lounge, next to the rug and flicking through an old IKEA magazine. IKEA sell millions of rugs with stripes, spots, ruffles, fluffy bits, leather bits....

My question for you today is just a simple one, if you were to design a rug, what would it look like...?

Just to give you a few ideas, have a look at IKEA. I've found 1933 matches in the search for 'rugs.'

Day 53: What's your shop?

Okay, here's a question for you, if you could open a shop (money aside) what kind of shop would you open?

I like questions like these because you can make them as extravagent as you like without actually doing anything! Just a little dream in your mind...

If I had to answer this question, I'd have to give it a lot of thought because there are a million different shops I would like to run! Lucky for you, I have already given it lot of thought so that saves everyone some time!

I would open up a cake shop/ little cafe. I would make all the cakes myself with organic, vegetarian produce (I'm a veggi by the way) and I would also make vegan options too! Everyone is happy in my cake shop. It would have art work from local artists hanging on the wall which you can buy. There would also be a little bookcase in the corner with books you can just take as long as you replace it with another you've already read, no money requried...

So there's a little bit of my shop to 'taste'.

What would your shop be like? You can be as creative as you like, making whatever shop you want with whatever you want.

Just a little thought to start the day's creative museings...
