Rescue Ink

I'm trying not to turn this blog into an animal blog. But, these guys and gals rule! They're bikers who respond to cases of animal abuse. They "educate" the abusers. Awesome.

* This blogger template is messing with my font sizes.

MUJI

I've mentioned this store to folks before. I first went to one in London. It's just, overwhelming, if you like Japanese simple design. I still have a pack of q-tips from there, unused (mine had their logo on them).

Mini Travel Toothpaste - 3pk


mujionline.co.uk Ok, start with this site, you can order in the UK from here, and therefore you can see the awesomeness of the products.

USA muji.com Looks like they have a shop in Soho now. We'll just have to see how good that one is... Wait, and clothing? and Fabric?? OMG

japanese papercuttings

I tend to pick and choose ideas from articles, rather than read them thoroughly. Yesterday I think I read that the Japanese have never distinguished between their traditional crafts and art. I love that. I was researching shibori - dying fabrics. I subscribe to the blog for pingmag.jp, a Japanese design mag in english. They had one of the first haramaki (belly warmers) articles on the internet. I don't read every piece they have, probably because a lot of it is on design award shows or super modern video installation art (at least that's what I tell myself).

Oh right. Papercutting. I used to love doing this. How the hell does she get it so sketchy like?

The cutest craftiest youngest blogger online

You have to meet Marian. She is having a bone marrow transplant soon, and is collecting money to buy crafts for other kids in the hospital. She is insanely talented. I'm going to order one of her project superstar! shirts, and I'm going to send her stuff in the mail. Oh, she is only six years old.

The artwork of drawing!

We are at LuLu's Bakery. There's my art from school, and one person from my class artwork got here and my artwork got here. And it has other artwork from other schools. It's a picture of the inside of a house with no no people inside it. And it has furniture. I like furniture. My favorite furniture is TV and computer. And I like beds, too. Beds are super comfy.

I tried to implement a new 3 column blogger template, decided it was too much work, and lost all my widgets, including all my content on the right side. I'm way too lazy to put them back in anytime soon.

Here's a great etsy shop, check this out first when you go to etsy:

etsyforanimals

100% goes to a chosen monthly animal charity. This month the theme is GREEN.

Bookmark addict

I have about 3000 bookmarks. When I imported into delicious, my computer froze up. It's a problem. However, the bonus is that I bet about half of those are amazing craft sites. I'm going to start posting some that you may not have heard of, that offer free things, or exceptional tutorials.
I'll post these in a list on the right.
