Three Links

Aug 17. 2011

My mother came over today so that I can get some rest (but we all know the real reason she comes over is to see her precious granddaughter), but instead of doing what I was supposed to do — take a nap to relieve my body of the insomnia it has been suffering — I ended up being on my feet the entire day cooking, cleaning, and taking a trip to the Korean grocery store. The two hours between the time that my mother left and J arrived home from work was torture. Comang was being a brat and wouldn't stop barking. Claire was overtired and kept throwing mini tantrums. My entire body was aching, I was having painful Braxton Hicks...

Letterpress Utility Cards [Wishlist]

Aug 15. 2011

A few years ago for my birthday, I received a set of blank cards. They were beautiful, no doubt, but I couldn't help but be a bit disappointed, thinking, "What an unoriginal gift!" Well, I couldn't have been more wrong, because I am still using those cards, for everything from "Thank You" cards to birthday cards (when I haven't had the chance to go get something pretty or witty from a stationery store), to even "Congratulations and thanks for reading!" greetings to include with the giveaways that readers win on this blog! Now that those set of cards are about to run out, I have been lazily seeking a new set of blank cards. And I am sorely tempted by these letterpress Utility...

Custom T-Shirts Giveaway!

Aug 01. 2011

A couple of weeks ago, ooShirts contacted me about a possible sponsorship. After perusing their website, I couldn't help but agree — not only is their custom design process simple and intuitive, their prices are some of the lowest I've come across on the web. Here's what ooShirts is all about: ooShirts is an online custom t-shirt printing company. Their main office is in Berkeley, California but they have printing departments all over the country. That’s how they’re able to offer complimentary shipping, which is certainly a plus! You do the entire design/order process on their website, www.ooshirts.com. The Design Lab has tools to let you upload images and add text directly to an image of the shirt that you’re planning to order, kind of...

Inside the Architecture and Sets of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Jul 13. 2011

Unless you've been living under a rock, you are probably well aware that the Harry Potter film franchise will come to a conclusion this Friday. J and I probably won't be able to watch the movie until next weekend due to a lack of a babysitter, but you can bet that we are eagerly awaiting the last film with great anticipation. Lucky for us, the web has been jam-packed with Harry Potter tributes and celebrations. One of my favorites thus far is Architectural Digest's interview with Academy Award–winning production designer Stuart Craig, the man who helped bring J.K. Rowling's vision to life. Here are some of the pictures included in the interview. Click on over for descriptions and even more eye candy. ...
