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." ;)

Instead of launching the entire site all at once, I've decided to put up merchandise in stages.

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!
