Mystery at 332
Thomas and I recently bought a mini scrubber brush for our dishes, which I wanted for quite some time, but kept forgetting. It looks like this, but green:
We’ve had it for about a week, and haven’t used it very frequently. Well, the other night Thomas went skating, and I walked into the kitchen after he’d left and saw this:
My first reaction was “what the...

Cassette Tapes
A roommate of mine a few years back drove an almost new black Mercedes Benz coupe. The car was a little misfitting - she was more the type to drive something a bit more wonky than a sleek black sports car. She was fairly flippant about life in general, and had very strange interests. She had a tape deck installed in her car in addition to the existing CD player, because she thought it would be...

Wordplay by Stephen Reed
Okay so the words whomever arranged these chose are beyond dull, but you get the idea - blah, blah, Scrabble lovers rejoice, blah.
Although I do love Scrabble, those little wooden trays need to be redesigned. While I’m sure it would be traumatizing for us all if we had to switch to a new system, my letters are always falling off! I’m thinking it needs some overhead support.

Rummage sales
There’s a monstrosity of a building in Atlanta called City Hall East, formerly the Sears, Roebuck and Co. factory, that has been in complete disrepair for years. The city tried to keep it up for a while, but it grew pretty embarrassing when there were bums and crime surrounding the government building in the middle of the city. Finally they closed their doors, making room for what might...

pom-pom chandelier
hand-woven comforter
My sister, aka Spundone, is the only person I’ve ever known to make pom-poms on a regular basis. I love it - she really knows how to bring it “back” - they’re no longer just on the back of low socks. This fiber artist reminds me of her (and she’s hand-weaving a rug much like this comforter!).

Some people still don't get it.
Passive aggressive notes dot com could keep me entertained for hours. I found these two signs particularly blog-able.
When in doubt, folks, leave out the apostrophe. It just doesn’t mean what you think it means!

LEGO Star Wars Space Invaders
from.
oh, the wonders of LEGO. I’ve been in DC all weekend/early week visiting my family, and my little brothers are obsessed with LEGOs (naturally). We built some pretty awesome things, including my mod artist’s studio and The Minute Waltz’s skate park. I tried to take pictures but they didn’t turn out too well - maybe post some later.

Hair
I’ve been growing my hair out for almost a year and have fended off my cravings for a haircut, despite my obsession with the activity. Today I caved, finally sick of my long hair in the hot GA sun, which I have constantly thrown up into a side ponytail. Tiny bob again! I’m home! I’ll consider a photo when I look decent one of these days.

Glow Cones
I found this DIY on Giver’s Log via CRAFT on how to make glowing snow cones. It’s really obvious, actually - just stick one of those bracelet glow sticks in the bottom of your glass and fill with ice and drank! (or shredded ice and syrup for snow cones, as they suggest). I really want to do this to every drink I consume - this habit may grow expensive.

A Single Man
I miss the 1950s when even everything was beautiful (I’ll excuse McCarthyism). I think I was secretly transported to the future from the 50s because it all feels like home. Need a reminder of how beautiful they were? Watch A Single Man, directed by Tom Ford (okay, so he can make anything beautiful, right?).

Best Idea Ever
Pattern by Jeny Staiman on Knitty
She brings up an excellent point on her blog post - why put shoes on babies that can’t even walk? A little more creativity, people! I’m thinking: frog feet (with the rounded ends), blue footed booby feet, and robot feet. The possibilities are endless.

Maria Wojdat Ceramics
These beautifully shaped ceramic bowls remind me of red blood cells. I especially love the matte colors. Maria Wojdat of the UK forms these ceramics by pounding into wet clay in a mortar and pestle fashion.
