Damask January 21, 2008

I have a soft spot for intricate, velvety wallpaper. Luckily I get my fix about once a week at the Mel-o-Dee where my knitting group meets. While I was visiting Los Angeles a few months ago, I ran across a crazy bathroom that had 5 different kinds of flocked damask wallpaper, and I took some pictures.

In fact, i started a Flickr group. So if you are out in the wild and see some wallpaper, take a picture and send it my way…

My recent Damask discoveries don’t end with wallpaper. A bit of browsing at Reprodepot has revealed the most fantastic modern Damask ever - Echino Woodland

Click through and check it out…. Hidden in the patter are skulls, bugs, and woodland animals. it is amazing. Too bad it costs an arm and a leg (also available at Superbuzzy).

I also found one more Animal damask - this one featuring only rabbits.

I would love to have these on my walls!

Waste your time here January 17, 2008

Waste some time gazing at Bento boxes, and filled Mr. Bento’s. I have a Daiso bento box, but I covet a Mr. Bento.

Octopus Revolution September 10, 2007

I didn’t know that an octopus revolution was underway…

Visit the Octopus Revolution Flickr group for a free crochet pattern for a basic little octopus. The group will showcase many variations on the same pattern. So make a little Octo and then dress him/her up!

Found on Craftster.

RSS Feeds finally fixed May 3, 2006

Whew. I have been tracing the path of the RSS commands through tons of files that i barely understand. Then, finally - i found it! One of the files wasn’t uploaded properly and was essentially empty. Once i fixed that, I just had to undo mess i made by tryng to edit the code myself.

Now if i can figure out why only about 25% of images show up in firefox (whether they are hosted on my site or on flickr) I will be settled in to my new home. Any ideas?? help??

And as a reward for reading this technical and boring post, check out this page of free fonts.
