iPhone Cozy?

I've been dabbling with the idea of making more crochet phone pouches for the new shop.. then I started to think, why not iPhone cozies? Would these be useful? This is the first prototype mockup - call it v 1.0. It's still up for improvements.. any feedback?

And as I said earlier to BananaBoy since this is still under wraps, "Don't go leaking this to Gizmodo." ;)

Why I Started to Drink

"This is a story all about how I started drinking."

Another reason why I say I *must* meet Randall Munroe at some point. He just reads my mind.

On a Reading Streak

And in today's episode of the MellowBeing show, we're here to talk about books and the joys of reading. Yep, this post is non-craft, non-NYC and non-geek related. Oh, the surprises I have for you guys sometimes..

(please forgive the obvious over-Photoshopping on this image.. I had a bit too much fun with it)

The reading streak started when my coworkers and I rediscovered GoodReads and started to obsessively add all the books we've ever read to the list. I mentioned to EchantedDroppings that I'd be hitting the triple digits of books read by year's end. So far, so good.

A few weeks after declaring this, I was reading on BoingBoing an article about how Art Garfunkel has read over 1000 books since 1968. I looked at the detailed list he has listed on his site.. pretty impressive, I must say. I then stumbled onto the list of "1001 books you must read before you die" and quickly found a group on GoodReads which is dedicated to accomplishing just this.

I wanted to end the post by showing a photograph of the amazing bookmark that Jessica from LostButtonStudios had made me during a bookmark swap but I recently lost it :( I feel pretty awful about it - I lost it in the most ridiculous way and it was such a one-of-a-kind item customized for myself. Sigh.. I will be posting later on the gorgeous earrings she included in her package as a separate entry.

Well, that is all in this episode. Stay tuned for more!
