Freezer Paper Fawn
Okay, so maybe I didn’t make that hoodie from scratch like I said I would. But I did buy this hoodie in the men’s department for $8 and then alter it a little. I took in a bit on the sides and under the arm so it wouldn’t look like I have massive shoulders. And [...]
Blue Dot Test
Have you ever wondered why some people like bland, unseasoned food? Ryan and I err on the side of overspicing. We love rich espresso, dark chocolate, kalamata olives, aged white cheddar, garlic, chili peppers, curry, and dry red wine. This, we just discovered, is because we are non-tasters.

Spicy
One on the many organizational accomplishments of the weekend is this new magnetic spice rack. I know, the whole magnetic spice tin thing isn’t news by any means. Maybe even a little played out. But it’s still genius. We put them up on the side of our fridge. I wasn’t going to label them because [...]

Suggested Track Listing: Architecture in Helsinki: The Owls Go Christine Fellows: Paper Anniversary Chromeo: [...]

I fell in love with the one now adorning the shades of this lamp, and paid [...]
Faux Sushi
Candy sushi makes me just so gleeful! It whimsically brings together two of my favorite things. In the past little while I have come across several sites that have done this: There is chocolate sushi by Koo-Ki Sushi. Not Martha made some adorable ones with twinkies that I really loved. Hers were inspired by The [...]
