Ticked.

Such a cute little clock! Sadly it doesn't look like they have it anymore in their shop (though the squirrel is really great too). And I realized that I bought an almost identical small cutting board from Daiso that I still haven't found a real use for so maybe a conversion is in the future.

Bookshelf love.

I love the sturdy industrial-yet-somehow-elegant look of this bookshelf.

Fun with font.

Came across this image (above is just a piece of it) the other day via boing boing, printed it off on my work printer, did a little scissors-and-tape job (my crafting skills thereby stretched to their limit), glued it onto a sheet of brown paper package wrap, tossed it into an oversized Ikea frame, hung it in my bathroom and called it art.

Apparently, poor RW has been quite distracted reading it while peeing. From what I can tell, the great prose is taken from the writing of HP Lovecraft.

Flying carpet meets couch.

Sadly, this is the adult-focused portion of my brain speaking: I need to figure out a way to make this myself using astroturf.

Seriously, how great is that? Incorporate a couple of mini-golf holes and it would be perfect.

Spraypaint happy

Ever since I got a hold of a can of black spray paint to redo the pulls for the newly very-cherry-red chest of drawers in our bedroom, I want to give everything a new coat of paint. Seriously, it was transformative (ack, pardon the government-speak) for the pulls which were an ugly faux-bronze. I also just bought some cheap mismatch frames that I'm going to spray glossy black to put on top of the drawers with some family photos in them.

So, when I saw this pic, my mind started whirling with the possibilities of grabbing some cheap silver-plated set from Value Village and having my spray-can-way with it.

Not that I need another damn teapot.
