These hooks are perfect for by the back door.
They will corral my stuff,
without me (or my munchkins)
losing an essential organ...

One Frame Fits Most
Perusing Design*Sponge this morning, I was introduced to thinkofthe.com.

You've also got to check out the Anti-Theft Lunch Bag.
(yeah for payday today)
Totally wantable.
thanks Design*Sponge for the enlightenment

Joy, Art and the Top
I am as giddy as a little child.
After testing it with gobs of pens and pencils,
I made a slew of "drawings."
My daughters took a spin too.
Why don't you check out his work,
take a spin, and add a little joy back into the art-making process?

Bathroom Wake-up!
January - the month of dreams, cleans and re-dos. This year I am sporting an easy "re-do" of my bath. Right now it is beige on white and looking kinda lame. Here are some items I'm using to spruce things up. It will be a mix of modern and organic. I just can't help it!- that's how my design style tends to fall...

Crazy with Color with Maria Maggenti (pg 100)
Such an inspiration to repaint the frame
around my bathroom mirror and groovy midnight blue.
Now all I need is new towels, floor tile and faucets...

Inspirations: Ray and Charles Eames
Visionistas #3: Ray and Charles Eames
Married, Designers, Rescuers of the US Economy, Cultural Ambassadors, Recyclers
This dynamic duo created the House of Cards, the Chair, the dot pattern fabric design, and jetset around the globe capturing unique inspiring cultural artifacts on film.
They were the experimenters, the team and the vibrant visionaries of their time.
They thought of unique, multimedia learning strategies to inspire the students of their time.
Who today will fill those shoes for us?
Who today will/has become the artist-healers for our economy?

Inspirations: My Grandfather - Norman Gabbard
My grandfather was an amazing man - son in a family of 10 kids, childhood Arkansas friend of Sam Walton, JB Hunt and Tyson (yes, the chicken guy), NASA engineer, CCC camp lumberjack in the National Redwood Forest, Navy engine man, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, Christian.
It is odd to know that he is gone now, and his shop sits empty. Even in his last days, he spoke of getting up and making something good in the shop. No telling what he'd thought of. Another space gun to use around the moon, another lunar flag pole, another magnetic engine, another something as a favor to a friend.
His shop sits full of tools and metal shavings. Smelling of oil and wood and metal. Looking like it was used just yesterday. Looking like he could pop back in at any moment to pick up where he left off.
He grew up with grit, courage and faith but never, and I mean never, a complaint. Always a sparkle a full laugh and a full breakfast.
He sure inspires my dreams. Here's to you grandpa. Thanks is just not a deep enough word.
