Knitted Stop-Motion Short Movie

daily photo: Mar. 26th

Today we stopped by the Bake It In A Cake [1] sale at the Cakespy [2] shop and managed to get some of the last cupcakes. Megan is a genius, see how lovely her cupcakes are? We got one chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and a cherry pie baked inside, and a vanilla cupcake with maple frosting with a banana cream pie baked inside. We also ran into Mary from Shelterrific [3], hi Mary! [1] http://bakeitinacake.com/ [2] http://www.cakespy.com/ [3] http://www.shelterrific.com/

Spine Candles

These spine candles would make great Halloween decor, or a fantastic gift for your anatomically inclined loved one. The process picture of the pink silicone mold gave me a shiver! [via inspire me now]

This is my favorite inexpensive tea. It's hard to find in your (or at least my) average grocery store and I live in fear that it will be discontinued. The last time I found it in a grocery store on sale I bought a dozen boxes and the person ringing me up must have thought I was nuts. Then again, it is high time I embrace my role as The Crazy Lady. Does that mean I can start wearing sequins at unexpected times of day? Right on.

thing I like: Slice packaging cutter

[1] This is a Slice [2] ceramic safety cutter meant for opening clamshell packaging. I manage to get papercuts from anything sharp and flat so last Christmas I grabbed one of these in the hopes of avoiding the frustration and the blood and the pain. Opening gifts should not be associated with pain. This has an incredibly tiny ceramic blade in the tip that is just big enough to cut through sturdy plastic packaging but too small to cut skin. I was really delighted when I found there is a small magnet inside so you can keep this on a fridge or a magnet board, so handy. It's photographed above hanging out with the spring clips and fortune cookie fortunes that I keep handy over my kitchen counter. We've even started using our little cutter to slice through tape to open boxes. It's turned out to be my favorite gadget. Slice makes a range of ceramic products for the office and kitchen and I have my eye on the Precision Cutter [3] as well. Both the Safety Cutter [4] and Precision Cutter [5] are also available at Amazon. Funny thing? The Safety Cutter comes in the very packaging it's designed to open more easily: [6] [1] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OOVC84/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=notma...

Vintage Apron Storage Caddy

apron_storage.jpg

Country Home shares this cute use for a pretty apron with lots of pockets - hang it on your wall to store small items you need frequently. I could see this concept working nicely as an "inspiration-capture station." Imagine storing your notebook, some assorted pencils, and a few envelopes for clippings.
