Bedtime Story Pillowcase Set by David Shrigley
I heart David Shrigley.
A Bedtime Story
One day I was walking in the woods when I heard the terrible roar of a monster. It filled me with fear and I ran back to the village to alert the community. At first some members of the community did not believe me (as my reputation is that of an idiot) but then night fell and the roar of the monster was audible to all in the village, louder than before. It was dlear to all of us that the roar was that of a monster that was fantastically large, one that could come and eat us all if it chose (so awesome was its roar) thus it would be futile to battle with such a mighty beast. We resolved to make a sacrifice to the gods in order to appease them and bid the monster leave us. We placed all our harvest on the altar but lo! The gods were not appeased and the monster's roar grew louder. Then we placed all our chickens on the altar and sacrificed them but lo! The gods were still not appeased and the monster's roar grew louder still. Then we placed our cattle on the altar and sacrificed them but still the monster stayed. Then we burned our homes and our possessions but still this did not satisfy the gods. Thus there was no choice left but to fight the monster ourselves. We covered ourselves in warpaint, took up our spears and rain, chanting and screaming battle cries, into the woods. We could hear the monster's roar away in front of us at a clearing in the woods. In the middle of the clearing was a huge bush; obviously it was the monster's lair. Our hearts pounding, we ran behind the bus to face the monster. To our astonishment there was no monster but some large loudspeakers and a tape recorder; the source of the roar. We later found out that they had been put there by some scientists from the university of Bristol who were studying our behaviour.
The End

Kate Spade Strand collection.
I do love me some Kate Spade. This story collection looks lovely, and I definitely want that tote.
in collaboration with strand bookstore, a new york legend in the literary world, we commissioned short stories from seven female writers. we asked each author to incorporate the phrase, "she is quick and curious and playful and strong" at some point in their story. the end result is a charming collection we're excited to share. artfully designed in a limited-edition set, it's a lovely gift to give (or to get).

Mint pillow covers.
I've gotta give a shout out to MintDesign for her pillow covers. I'm ordering a second today of this particular design. With a $5 Target pillow insert, the whole thing put me back 20 bucks. The one I have is gorgeous, durable, washable and really nicely made. Plus – the color pops like you wouldn't believe.

70s Sci-Fi Was All About Hexagons.
So, so true.
Oh, the hexagons you’ll see, as you slurp up your soylent green and wait to be exterminated upon your thirtieth birthday. When you map out complex chemical compounds, there they’ll be. When you pour your cereal, you’ll eat it out of a hexagonal bowl. When you put on your androgynous silver jumpsuit, you’ll accessorize it with a hexagonal belt buckle.

French Connection Kick-Ass T-Shirt.
The design's a little tired, but the quote made me laugh, and almost nothing about FCUK makes me laugh. Nicely done, French Connection.

Hope Market Tote Pattern.
For you crafty types out there - Denyse Schmidt (who makes the most gorgeous modern quilts in the entire world) is offering a free Hope tote pattern download on her site.
Snowdrops from Denyse's garden, those earliest harbingers of spring, pair perfectly with our Hope Market Tote. The project, which originally appeared in British Sew Hip magazine, features Denyse's Hope Valley fabrics and letters from The Proverbial Quilt pattern. We think it's a meaningful - and beautiful - way to take better care of our planet.

Short on space?
A trompe l'oeil curtain might just be the ticket. Not in production yet, but I bet someone picks it up.

Soft-Maps - map quilts.
Anyone who knows me well knows I have an almost-pathological quilt fixation. My pal, Kristel, knows me all too well. She sent me a link to these. Infographic AND quilty-comfy??? I'm completely in love.

Chair socks.
These made me laugh. I'm now trying to decide if my couch and chair are male or female.

Yeehaw fabric.
If I was the least bit inclined to sew, I'd buy it. Maybe someone out there will if I post it. Such cute illustration.
