Reader and artist Beth Cummings sent over a link to her topography clock (for sale on Etsy) in response to the cartographer’s dream blanket I posted last week.

They make a lovely match, don’t they? I bet they’d birth some super throw pillows.

Jeff sent over some yarnboming (which is apparently code for ‘knit graffiti’ and I’m not quite cool enough to know that) yesterday, and whoa. Cutest graffiti EVER.

Confession time. I’m horridly obsessed with stamps, and have dozens that I never, EVER use. I love how they look, feel and smell, but I’m one of those people that never break out the fine china, no matter how much it calls their name.

BUT. I think I would use this rubber stamp, b/c hello? It’s a custom stamp hand-carved with MY face on it.

Takes personalization to a whole new level, right? Just $20 at Etsy. Love it.

Seriously. Who wouldn’t want a plush souvenir to remind us of just how awesome those Egyptian gods were?

$42 from Franz Tormers.

p.s. I almost didn’t post this product b/c it was on a black background. THAT is how much I distaste stuff on black backgrounds. Man.
p.p.s. I forgot to tell you — there’s a poster design competition going on at the Franz Tormers blog. Enter if you’re crafty.

“You Left” is a fantastic handmade book portraying those who… yep, left.

I seriously need an eternal balloon. Consider this your advance notice — my birthday is in August.

Or, you know, if you’re in love with me, there’s always Valentine’s Day.

Kate makes these super fantastic handmade journals, and we simply must talk about how well-crafted they are.

Discuss.

Maria knitted a Barbie Doll. She admits it’s a bit creepy, and I admit I’m in love.
