We finally nabbed a Playstation 2, figures we would decide to get one in the midst of a "global shortage". Now we just have to make sure to buy a game before the console arrives. I listened to a story about a confectionary shop and now all I can think about is gorgeous chocolate eggs. I spotted a lounging sweater on Sex and the City which I want. I cannot find a picture but the fashion credits say it was Rick Owen. It's been cold here and a big warm sweater looks so yummy.

I likey this ladybug USB drive, and totally want to do as Cool Hunting says and attach a stick pin to it and keep it on a jacket. More here.

Hooray! Sew Dorky, makers of deliciously adorable felt donuts, had launched it's web site. Dig the Kate Hepburn.

In an effort to combat the frozen pizza cycle around here I grabbed a Grace's Kitchen dinner yesterday. I hoped to make it for us tonight but despite checking the preparation sheet carefully I failed to notice that it all needs to be thawed in advance (the thaw notice is on the box in one of those too obvious places). So, it'll have to wait for tomorrow.

LJC asked about where to find bags of polystyrene beads to make your own bean bags, and in the comments someone linked to Love Sac, which has at least one shop here in Seattle I've seen. We have had something similar to the 5' round for a few years, we call it the poof. (I bought it online from a place which has since disappeared.) I'm not entirely sure about the LoveSac, but ours is filled with chopped up foam pieces which don't make noise the way the polystyrene beads can. I have spotted bags of the foam bits at fabric shops in the area with the foam blocks. I have actually been meaning to re-cover our poof for a while. Note to self: check out the foam shop in Seattle, they might have larger quantities of chopped foam for sale.

Huh, look at that. Lush products can now be found on Amazon. Makes me kind of miss the days when you had to order from Canada and the prospect of a Lush store opening in San Francisco made me giddy. via Jejune.

Dioramarama reports about her trip to the Los Angeles Fashion District fabric shops. Something I have always wanted to do.

These little one-bite gingerbread houses over at Craftlog are just so adorable. What a great idea.
