But what if you soiled them, like the three little kittens?

Jessie Steele Designer Aprons

While on the hunt for new replacement measuring spoons because I BROKEDEDNESS BEC’S TABLESPOON MEASURE, AUUGH! – I stumbled upon these DELECTABLE Jessie Steele Designer Aprons at the The Cupcake Courier. HOW SWEET ARE THEY?!

Only problem is, I’m MORE than sure I’d be terrified of getting them dirty when actually cooking/baking. Which isn’t exactly what one wants out of an apron. But still: DO WANT! ♥

2010 Movie List: Jan 05-09: Inkheart, Mamma Mia!, District 9, Get Smart & 2012

Inkheart

Inkheart

(2008)
☆ 3/5 Leather Bound Books
⇒ Its a solid kid’s movie. Competent, has everything there, magic, mystery, and a little mayhem. Got a MASSIVE squee out of Jennifer Connelly’s cameo considering her role vs Paul Bettany’s, even though it was decidedly lack lustre. Great cast, who do exactly what their roles require of them but not much more. Not a lot more to say about it other than ‘solid’ really. xD

Kubrick Blythes: WHO KNEW?!

Kubrick Blythes
1. best friends, 2. Zombie Kubrick Blythe , 3. ~ Little Gatherer ~, 4. ?

I have NEVER before heard of Kubrick Blythes, which is, as far as I’m concerned, CRAZY FACED as they’ve been around for the best part of a decade by all accounts. I’ve hung out on Blythe forums, scoured all sorts of photo resources for Blythes over the years, and I own ACTUAL Blythes. Well, not ones from the 70s, but you know what I mean.

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THEM!? And now that I have. DO. WANT! O_O;; I especially love the photoshoot of that second mosaic-ed blythe, the Zombie Kubrick Blythe, savaging poor Totoro. xD

I’ve found a few around the traps, Z-Grade has them for $12USD, and Sekaido has a set of four for $30USD for example. But considering their age I’m thinking that’d be my best bet, as the availability at my local Shintokyo seems unlikely at best.

Huh.

*flail*

Earthgirl Fabrics… GAH, FOUND YOU!

Dammit!

A selection of fabrics available at Earthgirl Fabrics

Oh good. Because I needed to find more local crack dealers. *headdesk*

Last night I stumbled upon Australian fabric store, Earthgirl Fabrics. THEY. SHIP. FOR. FREE. WITHIN. OZ. Great. Awesome. Just when you think you have some money… *laughs*

There’s some really great prints and some favourite fabric print designers among their ranges; its a dangerous mine field. And they also stock some must-have patterns – especially if you’re into gift making:

Melly & Me: Little Miss Mouse
Sew Liberated: Emeline Apron
Sew Liberated: Lola & Lolita Apron

No one said the gifts can’t be for yourself ;) In short: GIRD YOUR LOINS PURSES!

Maxine Sutton. And a baby bulldog.

Maxine Sutton: Bella tea/coffee cosy in yellow. Hand printed both front and back on lovely white organic cotton twill, and padded with recycled wadding made from plastic drinks bottles.

Maxine Sutton: Bella tea/coffee cosy


Anthropologie has always been an evil and horrendous purveyour of too much pretty. Those bastards. And they’re at it again, this time making me pine for rugs that I cannot have – and now must actually learn how to properly make my own for my future pie-in-the-sky house. Perhaps thats what I’ll put on my rugs. Pie. In the sky.

Everyone likes pai. Raight?

But it did make me hunt out the delectable arts of Maxine Sutton and have me grabby handsing and pretty much everything – even things I have ZERO use for like the lavender spoons (or soons as the product id would have it xD). WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THAT, I CAN’T EVEN SMELL LAVENDER. xD

And now, courtesy of Jenji, a bulldog:

AUGH I AM NOW DEAD FROM CUTE!

The real nerd in the relationship…

Greg’s face: *goes all blank as if he’s on standby for a moment*
Me: *wonders if her suspicions are true, and her partner’s clearly android self has powered down for a moment*
Me: Huh. How does androgyny have anything to do with androids?
Greg: Because of andro, meaning human… Well, actually I believe it means man.
Me: *wonders even harder how android is even a word and tries to connect human with the id and come up with robot* But how does that have anything to do with androgyny, that’s like… Not a man.
Greg: Yes, but that’s because of gyno,
Me: You’re a gyno.
Greg: NO. YOU!

♥ We’re off to the country for a week, so I’ll be largely offline again/still/stuff. HAVE A GOOD WEEK, EVERYONE!
