This will be the last Weekly Roundup post I’m going to do until mid April. Next week, I’m going back to my home country, Indonesia, for a couple of weeks. Although I might not post as often during the two weeks break, I promise you “souvenirs” when I get back! Souvenirs meaning photos, possibly Jakarta travel guide (I will see how busy I am going to be and how the traffic will be. Getting around Jakarta is not that easy), and giveaway featuring hand-picked goodies from Indonesian designers and shops :)

Here are this week’s fab finds:

1. Just in Case Kit designed by Menosunocerouno was supposed to help you “just in case” the Mayan apocalypse really happened. Thank goodness it didn’t. But it doesn’t stop me from admiring the beautiful and minimalist design. Via Good Design Makes Me Happy (yes it makes me happy too).

2. “Eat Well Travel Often” is my motto, and this is by far my favorite design of the quote. Download it for desktop and iPhone wallpaper. Created by Toodles Noodles. 

3. How cute is that pillow by Sandy from Cookie Cutter! I definitely must get one. Via Fellow Fellow

4. A Rainbow Party! How Festive! Print this awesome invitation freebie from Mr Printables

5. Such a sweet illustration by Nidhi Chanani.

6. A new shop has opened in Melbourne, and even by looking at the logo, I feel like I must go there stat! via The Design Files.

I’m loving the color of this week’s weekly roundup post. So fresh and summery isn’t it? Too bad for us in Australia, summer is actually over. The weather is getting cooler (I’m wearing my warm pyjamas at home already!).

Let’s have a look at this week’s fave finds:

1. I know most people might have seen this, but it’s hard not to feature this in my blog. Pantone Pairing Project by David Schwen. My fave is the cake and ice cream pairing. Yum.
2. Terry Runyan illustrated cute and quirky animals. My fave is this owl, via My Owl Barn
3. I will definitely try to make Whiskey Lemonade with Honey the next time I buy whiskey. Recipe created by A Beautiful Mess
4. Penelope & Pip creates adorable things, just like this DIY Raindrop Cushion. They might want to consider selling the ready made cushions for people who are allergic to sewing like me! *hint hint* :)
5. A Balinese home with an awesome outdoor entertaining area with padi field backdrop. Ah… Bali… how I miss you. via Miss Design.

How time flies, February is almost over. The weather in Canberra is getting cooler, and soon my favorite season, Autumn, is coming! Let’s have a look at my fave finds this week:

1. New York illustration by Bianca Gomez. Love the illustration style. I should do a profile for this illustrator one day. Via finetingogsjokolade
