i am not as awesome as i could be (just for you di)

Glance over to the right at my "Project 365" slideshow. You know, my plan to take a photo every day of 2010? To gain insight about myself and the world around me? The plan I've completely abandoned?
That's the one.

This guy seriously puts me to shame.  He took a polaroid a day almost every day from 1979 until the day he died in 1997.  That's a total of 6,697 Polaroids.  Polaroids, people.  If you've got a few minutes, check them out here, and read the summary where I first learned about it on mental floss.   You can watch his entire life unfold in a visual format. 

PRO-found.

Number Five: My favorite clock: $10

Someday I'm going to design an entire room around this clock.  So modern/retro/rainbow-like.

i knew it could be done!

Making a living as a doodler, that is.  But I never dared to dream it could be this big.  Give Heike Weber a sharpie and a ginormous room and she will go to town!

                       

I have like fifty-seven sharpies.  I could definitely do this.

I'm not gonna lie.  It's ugly.  Most of the stuff posted by Etsy newbies, that is.  But after some long hard searching, I've unearthed the following beautiful items listed by Etsy sellers who have never had a sale.  So help them out and buy something!  You'll absolutely make their day.

How cute is this tea set by Seven Feather's Tribe?

I am about to decorate the crap out of every single plate and bowl I can get my hands on.  So if I ever come to your house, you'd best lock yours up.

This ridiculously fabulous idea (created with a porcelain paint pen on plain white plates) is from the Style Files, found via Black.White.Yellow.

I love me some sarcastic blog humor.  I read regretsy more than I probably should.  But this- this is guilt free, appropriate sarcastic blog humor.  It's a brand new blog called Catalog Living, where that hilarous woman from the Sonic commercials makes fun of catalog photos.  Check this piece out:

Sweetheart, the Turners will be here any minute now! Did you put the plate of figs under the table?

or this one:

Hon, where’s my string of old-timey buoys? Oh wait, I found them. Hey, lobsters and limes for dinner AGAIN???

She cracks me up.
