clever bedding

I saw this post from a thousand words a few weeks ago, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head.  I just think this is the sweetest idea! Kids normally have their art up everywhere, and not only on pieces of paper clipped to the fridge, but on brown paper book covers, or t-shirt's, etc., but how many kids can say that they designed their own bedding?!

 Jen from a thousand words scanned in her son's drawings, tidied them up on the computer, printed them out on regular ol' computer paper, and then traced them through the duvet cover with a fabric marker.  Super simple, and a little labor intensive (she ended up transferring 119 of his drawings onto the queen sized duvet cover).  This is such a cute idea, you have to check it out!!!

spring has sprung

Everything is starting to bloom . . .

I just hope it's not too soon!!

sunnin' in the sun

I'm finally using my back yard the way is was meant to be used...

I hope everyone had a wondrous weekend!

what's this white stuff?

It's officially winter . . .boo.  The snow has come and hasn't really stopped, but it's ok because for Christmas I got some spiffy new boots:

THANKS MOM & DAD!!!!

silly siri

The iPhone 4S isn't even officially out yet and there is already a website for the crazy responses Siri has for your questions and requests. Shit That Siri Says is going to be a fun site to frequent, here are some of the posts they already have:

I think this one might be my favorite so far:

Hahaha, Siri is a nerd! 

It probably took me longer to get the 2001 reference then Siri.

So will you be buying the new iPhone 4S or holding out until the 5 is released? I'm too poor for either, but Siri almost makes me want to save up!

say it with pie

While on my weekly morning blog jog today I came across Pippi Konstanski's Flickr pippijewelry.  She makes jewelry but that's not what caught my attention . . . Look at these PIES!!:

Pie In The Sky

Plenty Of Pie To Go Around

You Are The Apple Of My Pie

Two Pies Are Better Than One

Swimming In The Deep Blue Pie

Aren't they hilarious, I love playing with my food!

thoughts of a craftsman

I saw this video posted on Design Sponge a few days back and e-mailed it to myself to share it with Andrew.  I think he and the guys at the shop have watched it like 20 times since.

It's so funny.  Of course he understands more of the jokes than I do, but I was still cracking up so much I had to share with all of you:





HA!

i love what lottie loves

I wasn't able to make it to the Farmer's Market today.  It has been terrible outside, it was in the 40's, rainy, and insanely windy.  Everyone on the street is squinting with their hair all over the place, misty rain blowing sideways into their eyes and their umbrellas inside out. I don't think Chicago got the memo that June is next Wednesday.  It's just too gross to go somewhere if you don't have to, so I skipped out on the veggies.

The Farmer's Market is the best part of my work week and always makes Thursdays great, but today I found something else that did the job.  One of the blogs I look at every weekday morning while I sit at me desk and eat my oatmeal is Lottie Loves.  It was one of the first sites that I started to frequent, and today when I looked at her blog I saw a post for Sampling Press and their Comedy Cards.  These cards are wonderful, I love them all, but my favorite series is her "Dear Blank" collection.  She teamed up with Jared Wunsch of "dear blank please blank" and made a few of his letters into cards.  After looking at everything from Sampling Press, I spent the rest of the day (minus the time spent actually working of course) reading Jared's websites.  All of his "letters" are pretty hilarious, but I like them even better as cards.  I love the formal quality of the letterpressed card, it puts something so silly in a serious and deliberate context, I just love it.

and my favorite:

Aren't they great?
