Nubrella - hands free umbrella

It is raining cats and dogs here in Selce, Croatia. We are partly trapped inside and although i gave the finger to the rain this morning if it continues this way it will become annoying.
But, here is my chance for the rainy-day post I've been saving up my sleeve for a while now.

Nubrella (stands for "new umbrella") hands free, helmet-like ultimate weather protector, designed by Alan Kaufman.

Opinions are divided. Some think it looks ridiculous while others could only wish for is a couples version. It would be cool if they did it in kids size, I wouldn't have to worry P will pluck someones eye out with his umbrella. Also, it would probably be a party for them just to wear this...What do you think? Would you wear it?

Hands-free pumping bra - PumpEase

You ask why?
The first answer form a long list is:

You would like to multi-task (do other things while pumping)

What? Why?
I mean, I don't know...I am all for innovation. I am all for multi-tasking...but this seems like a weeeeee bit of an overkill.

What do you think?

Pinocchio washing line

I love funny design. I could really use one line like this for situations when eg. we come home after the day at the beach, when the night beofre I've done 2 full washes and I have nowhere to hang our towels. Plus, it is funny, and I love funny design. I already said that. Bye.

KLOCC for Kids, by Judit Ducsai

Klocc for Kids – Hungarian design award winning innovative storage for kids.

Designed by Judit Ducsai Kid's Klocc, very much like it’s predecessor - Klocc bag,  is made from 1 cm thick 100% industrial wool felt. Formed using a special technique similar to the hat making process and treated to be water resistant, they are made from 1 piece and except for the zipper, you will find no seems on them.

Each of them is handmade in Judit's studio.

Bright coloured and ever-changing organic shapes and self sustainable forms are not only incredibly cool and beautiful, they also stimulate children's curiosity, creativity, abstract thinking and problem solving skills.

 

A toy storage solution which can easily become a toy itself!

They can be hanged, attached together, open wide, or closed shut.

They can also be given to Mommy to play with, because she is crazy about them.
