Musical Glasses
Musical glasses are meant to be played. The graphics are musical notations marking to the level of liquid in the glass that will produce the correct note when the users finger runs around the rim of the glass. Perfect for a dinner party or solo entertainment. (via bltd)

Branching Out… to Curbly
As of this morning you can find me at one of my new contributor gigs over on Curbly! If you’re not familiar with the site, you really should be. It’s bursting at the seams with rad how-to projects, room inspiration, furniture, and so much more. Not to mention the great writers and community they’ve built up – top notch in my book! I hope you’ll stop by and see what I’m sharing from time to time.

Candy Sushi
PHOTO + RECIPE: First Look, Then Cook
Rice Krispies instead of white rice, fruit leather instead of nori, swedish fish instead of the real thing. I love the idea behind candy sushi.

Nixon Time Teller P
Last Saturday I was out and about and decided to reward myself (more on that later) with a new watch. The Nixon Time Teller P to be exact, my watch brand of choice. I bought my first as a 24th birthday gift to myself, an awesome skinny-strapped black leather double wrap with a rectangular electric blue face that they sadly no longer make. Shortly thereafter I stopped wearing a watch altogether because I was tired of it banging against my desk while I designed. But when I saw this shocking pink beauty with a silicone everything I knew I’d struck gold. It’s a men’s watch, which I prefer and comes in a great array of bright monotones. The thing is, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to get used to looking at my wrist for the time ever again…
