Cooking the Books

Here are a couple of really amazing designs via dezeen:

This company’s annual report (designed by Bruketa & Zinić) has to be baked to be read! Read the story and see more photos in this article.

I also love that designer Greetje van Tiem has found a way to weave rugs, curtains, and more using thread spun [...]

New Phlog Design!

Austin and I have redesigned litabug.com! Hope you like the new look! There’s also a new slide show format in the works that will make it easier to navigate through the photos, but it’ll be awhile before that comes out.
I can’t believe that Maggie is finally here, and that tomorrow is Christmas Eve! We’ll be [...]

That’s just mean.

So why, oh, why must they continue to send me these mouth-watering catalogs filled with page after page of saucy reds, warm earthy browns [...]

Open Studios

On Saturday, Sam and I went with friends to Easthampton to visit Allie. They were having Open Studios at the building where she works. We toured the bindery where she spends her days, met her very talented boss and saw some of the projects she’s currently working on. Outside the bindery, the long halls were [...]
