Make Your Own Sputnik Lamp

Sputnik-2.jpg

Anyone who is a fan of design has no doubt drooled over the coveted classic Sputnik lamp. Anyone who is a fan of a sweet Swedish deal has probably considered the Ikea version. Jenny from Little Green Notebook came up with a sweet solution for a DIY version using the Ikea parts to create a next-level design piece of your own.

Antique Doll Head Planters

doll_head_planters1.jpg

Retired high school art teacher Dolores Duenez makes interesting (and slightly unnerving) planters out of antique doll heads.

A few years ago, I was given a box of unfinished doll heads from a doll maker's estate sale. I used some of the heads for still-life set ups in the classroom, and the rest I placed in my garden. The following spring, plants were growing from the doll heads. I decided then that doll heads would make strange and interesting planters.

She sells them in her Etsy shop, Plants on the Brain.

We went to Uneeda Burger [1] here in Seattle to try to see if we could tell the difference between the regular patty and the grass-fed patty. We couldn't. But Lindy West could and her hilarious review [2] is worth reading even if you don't live close enough to try this place: "This cow ate only sweet grasses and sunshine. This cow was massaged daily by sexy cow concubines. This cow slept each night on a feather bed, spooning with the emperor of Whidbey Island himself. This cow moos rainbows."

May Birthday Giveaways!

Hi, hello, hi there. This May marks the tenth year of Not Martha, ten years! A whole decade! To celebrate I'm holding giveaways each weekday in May filled with stuff I love from people I know. It's gonna be fun. Looking back at the archives I see the first post was on May 22nd, 2001 and I only posted six things that month. The very first post to this site was about a kit that helps you put gifts inside of balloons [1] (sadly, a dead link), the second post was about a long time love of mine the Meathead [2] (miraculously it's still there [3], it's a plastic skull covered with red jello then layers of cold cuts to be served at Halloween and the reason I called my meatloaf hand the Meat Hand [4]), my third post was a list of stuff I liked [5] including retro video games, cookbooks and dishes made of sugar. Posts four [6], five [7] and six [8] are regarding Fluevog shoes that leave hoof prints, gasses that preserve a half empty bottle of wine, and the article in Salon that mentions a magazine that would be published sometime later that year, it was called "Readymade". Taking just the first six posts into consideration I'm gonna go ahead and say this here site hasn't changed much in the past decade. It really doesn't seem like that long. Each giveaway will take entries for about 24 hours and the first one will be tomorrow morning. Good luck everybody!

Sewing Productivity Tips

tilly_productivity.jpg

I met so many fun and creative people this weekend at Maker Faire. I'm adding all sorts of great new blogs to my reader and Tilly and the Buttons is one of them. One of her most recent posts caught my eye - tips for sewing productivity from guest poster Debi of My Happy Sewing Place. Debi is currently sewing one garment per week - something tells me she knows a thing or two about being productive!
