Peenk it.

I'm realizing the items on my birthday and Christmas wishlists are a far cry from the exciting, colorful ones that graced those lists from childhood. These may not be Roller Racers or 10-speed bikes, but man, I'd really like these without having to pay for them myself.

A good pair of pinking shears is, like, $30-50! Is it worth it for fray-free edges? Or for those moments when you want to create charming little mouse pillows like this for Valentine's Day? (from purlbee)

You think those are sweet? Please pass me that tall glass of lemonade for the sweet toothache of an album for all my cutting capers.

Could this be one of my most favorite album covers? I mean, just look at that typeface. This proves that Doris Day is the hunky-doriest for escapists. The look on her face bears no trace of worry for the uprising in Tibet or Castro's march into Havana in 1959. Dor just kicks off her shoes, picks up a streamer and starts skipping. Coincidentally, this album was released on the exact same day the Barbie doll was unveiled to the public. What a world.
