George Tsypin Opera Factory [1568985320] - $75.00 : Chronicle Books

First to recommend

Description

I'm addicted to, and in awe of, awesome stage design. You're making an entire world in a space not much larger than the average loft apartment. That takes real creativity and innovation. And it doesn't need to be iPod-friendly.

Conversions [1856694860] - $40.00 : Chronicle Books

Description

If you're into futuristic and eco-conscious (aka, green) architecture, I'd rec this over that Lomme bed thing.

In talking to my friend from Tokyo, one of the cultural differences that stuck out was the concept of 'myhome'. This is the idea is that you can one day have a place that is fully your own and that you can run yourself, sort of your ideal livingspace. The American dream has sort of become the Suburban dream, and that's pretty sad. This book made me feel better.

The Lomme Bed

Description

Brilliant, inspired and natural yet full of design and modern elements, how did they create such a beautiful thing. I read that the concept and design was lead by a Polish woman and as a Polish woman i can't tell you how proud this makes me feel. So so so well done

Lucha Workshop

Description

This is adorable, and it will go really well with the boots I just got from target. And that gray jersey dress. This is really not fair--why can't I just have a clothing allowance?

Looking at the pictures further: the inside is red, with more cute printing. The black canvas strap is not ugly canvas, and has a nifty shape to it; wider where it rests on your shoulder. Magnetic clasp, but there's a wallet pocket, so that's where your BART card should go, because the full-size wallet you probably have would fit better in the 10x14 main compartment. If I didn't already have a gorgeous yellow bag, and my Mastercard weren't demanding 30 pieces of silver, this would be mine immediately. (via shesabetty)

Adorable handmade onesies with ruffles on bottom

First to recommend

Description

Words, words. Well, it'd be nice if they had it in black, or something, because itty babies can be had by gothic parents, too, and black is much easier to keep clean. But whatever--those ruffles were what sold me.

I found a pair of underwear by Lip Service once that had those ruffles. I missed out, and I have regretted it ever since. Don't make my mistake. There was never a tiny pink ruffle that didn't make something better. (via simplylovelygifts)

9512 Campeggio

Description

I first saw this on the arm of one of my idols at my yearly convention, and determined I *must* have it. And it isn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be!

The photo resolution's fuzzy, but the cuteness of this bag is better captured IRL anyway. As long as Tokyo is still producing chibis, this bag will be in fashion, and it meets my personal size-requirements: it will easily hold an 8.5x11 notebook, and my cell phone.

The New Artist's Manual [0811851249] - $29.95 : Chronicle Books

First to recommend

Description

I'm going to own up to the fact that I'm not a visual artist: I know what I like, but my artist-friend teases me with a comment I made on her self-portrait. Which was, "It looks Greek." But when I do decide to invest in some oil paints and wake up that half of my brain, this book will be a great beginning.

Goes into everything, but not in a scary way. The important bits about choosing a palette and a brush, and etceteras, are right near the top, and there's all kinds of suggestions on how to break the rules thereafter. As well as projects to learn on, if the thought of blowing your materials budget on a total screw-up scares the...paint out of you.

By Hand [1568986106] - $34.95 : Chronicle Books

First to recommend

Description

Craft Day!

I was walking down that little alleyway--you know, if you walk from the Metreon to Market Street, between Third and Fourth street, and manage to resist Beard Papa's? I guess the cross-street is Mission, but it's more toward Market than that.

There's a little bitty museum there, and they had this in the window. Certainly justified, as it was the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, and this book is full of artists getting their craft on. I'm a creative person and I like making gifts for people; but I am so not a fan of decorated Kleenex cozies. The ideas in here were much, much better.

The 1000 Journals Project [0811858561] - $22.95 : Chronicle Books

First to recommend

Description

I'm a blogger. I've only had one, but I've had that one since before LiveJournal started letting everyone join. I actually had to get the coveted add code from an online friend. So, given my obsession with making my private life public, this appealed to me immensely.

This is the best thing about being thrown together with strangers during an emergency situation, am I right? Getting to find out random and intimate details that you never would have thought to ask about. Only now it's in actual-printed-book form.
