Uses for Bubble Wrap

I’ve been holding onto this image for a while. Sorry, I don’t remember where I got it. Remember last summer when I invited the neighborhood kids over to make tie dye t-shirts. This summer I want to invite them over to make bubble wrap art. I really love the look of this and [...]

WXGR Radio

I haven’t switched my radio dial off of NPR for years. The other night though I was out at night for a parent/teacher thing and I searched through the local stations on my car radio. I stumbled upon WXGR. They were playing that SH10151 song by Hooverphonic. I [...]

Crocheted Valentines

It is that time of year again. Douglas will soon need to hand out Valentines to his classmates. Last year I bought a set of these crocheted hearts from Dottyral on Etsy. I laced on a large tag and Doug wrote out the message. I figure it is better than handing [...]

Clock Work

This is my favorite kind of design because it is easy to recreate. I love the relationship that is going on between the two clocks. They are always in sync. Someone who comes upon this for the first time can’t avoid looking back and forth between the two to see what [...]

Flagger Tape

The first time I bought flagger tape was for its intended purpose. I tied it across the end of our drive way so the boys and I could play there safely. When [...]

- shrunken wrinkled oxfords and super [...]

Recycled Silk Scarves

Gorgeous tops made from recycled silk scarves. These are made by ALLMA in San Francisco. The simple construction is genius.

This bed cover is also made using recycled silk scarves. It was made by Ouno Design.

There is a great post over on Outsapop Trashion about the growing trend of using recylced silk scarves.

Idea Books

A few years back I would occasionally buy fashion magazines with the intent of scribbling comments all over the pages so that I could then send it to a girlfriend as an fun way to keep in touch. I wanted it to feel like I was right there with them commenting on all the [...]

Recycled Ski Chairs

 

I shared these images with a couple of my friends already. Forgive me if you’ve already seen this. I can’t help myself. I love these chairs.
I saw these recycled ski chairs for sale on the side of the road way up in northern New Hampshire. I pulled over to take a closer [...]

hairbrained

My hair stylist will attest to this — I keep a lot of images of great hair. I love to change my hair style and images are the best way to communicate a look. I used to actually carry around a brag book with tear sheets of great hair styles — true story. [...]
