From extolling the virtues of lengthy blog posts…

Like tea, only better

February 8th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Cosy knits for your tea – tea + knitting = The Best. Sure, you could pay $15 for this, but I reckon it’d be pretty easy to knit yourself.

Hanger tea – because teaspoons are for losers and those stupid strings always end up in the cup

Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

February 4th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.

It is a beautifully unusual idea, and a nice antidote [...]

Everything you want – right now!

Sharing his love/hate feelings towards advertising, I can’t help but adore Steve Lambert’s work:
